Why Seasonal Dining Matters
Seasonal dining is not just a trend; it’s a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of fresh, local ingredients. Here are some key reasons why seasonal dining is beneficial:
- Flavor: Ingredients that are in season are often at their peak flavor, providing a richer and more enjoyable dining experience.
- Nutritional Value: Freshly harvested produce retains more nutrients, making it a healthier choice.
- Environmental Impact: Supporting local farmers reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting food over long distances.
- Community Support: By sourcing ingredients locally, we help strengthen our community and support local economies.
