Winter is well underway in Canada, meaning that the variety of seasonally available produce options has decreased. Choosing seasonal produce helps support your community and can enhance the taste as the food is picked ripe rather than ahead of ripeness.
Apples are one of only two fruits grown in Ontario that are available in December. They are a good source of nutrition, high in vitamins and nutrients like vitamin C and fibre. Their long shelf life, crispness, and sweet or tarte taste makes it easy to incorporate seasonal Ontario apples into your diet in a variety of ways.
