More Reasons to Eat with the Seasons

Better Quality & Better Flavor

Because seasonal produce is recently picked, it spends less time sitting on a truck or in a warehouse. This means it retains more of its nutritional value and rich flavor by the time you pick it up in store.

Supports Local and Regional Growers

When you buy peak-season produce, you’re reinvesting in your community. Sprouts Farmers Market is proud to work with local and regional farmers across the country to bring you the best-tasting, freshest produce available.

Good for the Planet

Seasonal growing is less harmful to the environment than out-of-season crops. In fact, buying seasonal produce can help reduce water and land use, pollution and soil loss.

Good for Your Wallet

Out-of-season produce is often trucked in from areas with different growing climates, making it more costly to transport. In-season crops allow farmers to harvest more and sell at lower prices, keeping more money in your wallet.

How to Pick the Most A-Peeling Citrus

Unlike most fruit, citrus won’t continue to ripen once it’s picked, so what you choose in-store is what you’ll enjoy at home! Here’s how to pick the best and brightest citrus, every time:

The Heavier, The Better
Try to go for citrus that has a little more weight to it—this means that the fruit jam-packed with juice!

A Little Squish Means It’s Delish
Pick up your citrus and give it a gentle squeeze. Your perfect citrus will have a little give, so avoid fruits that are rock hard or a little too squishy.

It Smells as Sweet as It Tastes
Either sniff your citrus near the stem or give the peel a little scratch to try and release some aroma. Underripe fruit will have little to no scent, while ripe fruit will be sweeter or more tangy smelling.
