Eating seasonally is like syncing up with nature’s rhythm—it just feels right. For a long time, I lived in the tropics on Bali, and that’s exactly how they live. You eat what’s available in season and only what’s grown on the island. It’s fresh, local, and sustainable, and your body craves what the island provides—those juicy, water-rich fruits, coconuts, sambal, and the rich local coffee that fuels your days. Everything you need is right there.

When you eat what’s in season, you’re getting the freshest, tastiest produce around. It’s picked at its peak, not shipped from halfway across the world. Seasonal fruits and veggies also pack more enzymes and nutrients because they’re not hanging out in storage for ages, losing flavour and vitality. And let’s face it, who wouldn’t want a sun-ripened mango over something picked green, then forced to ripen in a truck?

Eating what’s available to you also helps cut down on expensive grocery costs. No need to shell out for produce flown in from far away when nature’s bounty is right in your backyard (or local farm). Plus, there’s something so satisfying about eating what the earth around you is providing—it’s how we were designed, and it’s what our bodies thrive on. It feels good, tastes even better, and keeps you in tune with the land.

Not to mention, when you eat seasonally, you’re supporting local farmers and reducing your carbon footprint. It’s a win for you, your community, and the planet. So go ahead, enjoy what’s fresh now, and let the seasons guide your plate!
