silvernutmeg Seasonal Food Guide
Eating seasonally means eating food that is at its peak in terms of flavour and nutritional content, while at the same time cutting down on those food miles. Each month, silvernutmeg.com brings you a guide to what's in season. The emphasis is on fresh and locally produced (i.e. British) food, including wild herbs and game.
