Seasons are approximate and vary by region and year. They are based on the northern hemisphere, Mediterranean and Turkish climate.

Good to know

Produce that is in season is usually cheaper, fresher and tastier because it travels less and ripens in the sun.
Greenhouses and cold storage make many vegetables available all year, but the flavour is best in the peak months.
In the southern hemisphere, shift the calendar by about six months.
Buy extra at the peak and freeze, dry, pickle or turn it into jam and salça for the rest of the year.
