The Benefits of Seasonal Eating: Why RAW Food and Goods Follows Nature's Calendar

I heard a saying one time that really resonated with me: "If it grows together, it goes together." This cultural philosophy suggests that food and drinks that come from the same place pair well together. It's a guiding principle for food and wine pairings that can refer to seasonal produce. Produce that matures at the same time is often best consumed together. For example, tomato and basil, corn and zucchini, and peaches and berries.

At RAW Food and Goods, we've built our business around this concept of seasonal eating. As a small husband-and-wife team, we're passionate about connecting people with the best-tasting, most nutrient-dense produce that California has to offer. That's why we curate seasonal produce packs that follow nature's calendar.

There are so many benefits to eating seasonally, and we're excited to share them with you. First and foremost, seasonal produce simply tastes better. When fruits and vegetables are allowed to ripen naturally, they develop a depth of flavor that you just can't get with produce that's been shipped from far away and stored for weeks.

Seasonal eating is also better for the environment. When you buy local, in-season produce, you're reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation and storage. Plus, you're supporting small, sustainable farms in your community, which is a win-win for the planet and your local economy.

Perhaps most importantly, seasonal eating is better for your health. Produce that's picked at the peak of ripeness is packed with more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than produce that's been sitting in storage. And when you eat a diverse array of seasonal fruits and veggies, you're ensuring that you're getting a wide range of essential nutrients throughout the year.

We believe that eating seasonally is the key to a healthier, more sustainable, and more delicious lifestyle. That's why we're committed to sourcing the best organic, regenerative produce from small California farms and delivering it straight to your door. Whether you're a longtime seasonal eater or you're just starting to explore the benefits, we're here to make it easy and convenient to eat in harmony with nature's calendar.

The Importance of Seasonal Eating

Eating seasonally is not just a trend - it's a time-honored way of connecting with the natural world and nourishing our bodies with the most nutrient-dense foods. When we eat in sync with the seasons, we're tapping into a rhythm that has sustained human civilizations for thousands of years.

Maximizing Flavor and Nutrition

Produce that's grown and harvested at the peak of its season is simply more flavorful and nutritious than produce that's been shipped long distances and stored for weeks. Seasonal fruits and veggies are allowed to ripen naturally, developing a depth of flavor and concentration of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that you just can't get with out-of-season produce.

Supporting Sustainable Agriculture

By choosing seasonal, local produce, you're supporting small, sustainable farms in your community. This helps to reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation and storage, and it keeps your food dollars circulating in your local economy.

Eating in Harmony with Nature

When we eat seasonally, we're aligning our bodies with the natural rhythms of the earth. Our ancestors instinctively knew to eat certain foods at certain times of the year, and we can tap into that wisdom to nourish ourselves more fully.
