Quick Review: Seasons App (iPhone)

This app is useful for anyone concerned with sourcing local and seasonal foods.  It lists fruits and vegetables that are local and in season.  You can also search by day, month or by food (including herbs, mushrooms and nuts).  

Particularly useful is the option to categorise foods that are imported or regional, and to see when foods are coming into and out of season so you can maximise the best time to buy when the food is freshest.

The application has information on local farmer's markets with times and other pertinent details.

The app is supported in the UK, US, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Western and Central Europe - and uses GPS to pull in relevant information.

This app is useful for those wishing to get local access to a wide variety of foods, when in season thus maximising nutritional quality and reducing food miles when obtaining fruits and vegetables.  

With over 240 products there are bound to be items you have not come across before so it will also broaden your culinary options.

This is educational as well as a handy reference.  Highly recommended.

Seasons - available on the App Store
