We are all told constantly to eat what is seasonal but it is never explained what IS seasonal. Just because it is on our store and market shelves does not mean it is locally grown or imported.

These are fruit that are at their seasonal best in USA during the months of Jan & Feb.
all citrus.is at it's peak, naval oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, limes,mandarins, lemons, Ugly fruit;
Apples ( cold storage), pears,(cold storage) avocado's, bananas, coconuts, some table grapes (cold storage), papayas, pineapples, plantains, rhubarb.
