Sometimes it's challenging to know what is in season because everything is available all the time. The fruits and vegetables we eat come from all over the world. If we look at the avocado, it is shipped to us from Mexico, Chile, Dominican Republic, New Zealand, California, and Florida. I think it's important to stop and ask ourselves...do we really need to eat an avocado from across the ocean?
