WINTER

PRODUCE

GUIDE
Chilly Winter days call for hearty
home-cooked meal made with the
best ingredients the season has to
offer. Across the country, you'll find
healthy fruits and veggies that prove
fresh flavors shine all year round.
Read on for our favorite picks for
winter produce.

Citrus
At their peak of flavor in winter, sunny
citrus fruits make a refreshing snack or
dessert. Their bright, tangy juice and 
fragrant zest also enliven both savory
and sweet dishes – from salads,
marinades and sauces to homemade 
pies and cakes. Or use candied citrus 
peel as a colorful garnish for ice creams 
and sorbets.

Kale
Kale is related to cabbage, with
sturdy leaves and a deep, earthy flavor.
Ranging in color from light green to a
deep violet-green, raw kale is a great
addition to salads. You can also be braise
or sauté fresh kale to create a healthy
side dish – or add it to soups, pizzas
and frittatas.

Winter Squash
Hearty, colorful winter squashes are
known for their rich taste and texture.
Harvested during the cooler months,
they're incredibly versatile. Bake
squash whole or in halves, slices or
cubes. You can also steam or simmer
fresh winter squash, then transform it
into a velvety puree.

Cauliflower
Cauliflower is winter's go-to veggie. 
Its mild flavor pairs beautifully with
everything from artisan cheeses to
fresh green beans and carrots. Or 
transform the florets into low-carb 
"rice". Although white cauliflower is
the most familiar, it also comes in
orange, green, and purple varieties.

Broccoli
Broccoli is a part of the cabbage
family. Featuring beautiful clusters of
green florets, broccoli is as healthy as
it is delicious. Enjoy it raw – or try
steaming or stir-frying until it's just
crisp-tender. For a great side dish,
serve roasted broccoli with a squeeze
of fresh lemon.

Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts look like mini
cabbages, which makes sense
considering these healthy veggies
are members of the cabbage family.
Enjoy them raw, roasted, braised,
steamed or sautéed. To highlight
their natural flavors, add garlic,
herbs, lemon or balsamic.
