ALL the CITRUS

Though oranges, lemons, and limes are available in regular grocery stores year-round, citrus actually peaks in the winter, just in time to brighten up your winter foods! Special shoutout to blood oranges with their ruby red color making them perfect, along with always-in-season-strawberries, to celebrate Valentine's Day!

BEETS and ROOT VEGETABLES

Technically, beets are in season year-round, but their earthy, hearty flavor and texture really vibes with winter. Other than just straight up roasting them, whizz them into highly dippable hummus and yogurt dips!

CAULIFLOWER

If there is one vegetable that has gotten the BIGGEST glowup this century, it's cauliflower, and for good reason. As a somewhat neutral flavor on the palate (and palette!) it can be worked into just about any recipe as a lighter, healthier substitute for starchy carbohydrates. But cauliflower can be the star, too!

CARROTS

You probably don't pay that much attention to carrots the rest of the year except as a flavor base along with fellow NPCs onions and celery for soups or as a supporting ingredient. But in the winter, when other main character vegetables are off-duty, carrots can take center stage with their bright, crisp, subtly sweet, vitamin A-rich glory.

MUSHROOMS

ROOT VEGETABLES

Beets are in season year-round, but their earthy, hearty flavor and texture really vibes with Winter. Other than just straight up roasting them, whizz them into highly dippable hummus and yogurt dips!
