Yep, it’s October already…
You may be keen to reduce the food miles of your food by eating more local produce. And the supermarkets aren’t all that helpful at pointing it all out to you…
So here’s a quick reminder of what’s in season in England in October:
Figs
Apples
Pumpkins
Squashes
Cavolo Nero
Kale
Blackberries
Sprouts
Broccoli
Beetroot
Mushrooms
Cabbage - savoy, spring green and red
Carrots
Pears
Quince
Elderberries
Damsons
Crab Apples
Artichoke
Plums
Cauliflower
Celeriac
Fennel
Garlic
Parsnips
Spinach
Leeks
And on the occasions when my children come to the supermarket, I usually let them choose something interesting from the fruit and veg section, and as they get older, I’ll be encouraging them to select something seasonal too!
