Seasonal calendar for fruit and vegetables: what you can get in February

Fruit and vegetable seasonal calendar: What local produce can I get in February?

Particularly fresh and environmentally friendly - that's what characterizes regional products. We also support local farmers. But when do we get local strawberries freshly picked from the field? And are there any fruit and vegetables available in the winter months that have not been imported from overseas? In our seasonal fruit and vegetable calendar, we tell you which ingredients you can buy when from your trusted local farmer. What's available in February?

Welches Obst und Gemüse kann ich aktuell regional kaufen? — What fruit and vegetables can I currently buy regionally?

Regional cuisine can be so diverse

Champions, chicory and lamb's lettuce - in February, there is plenty of flavor on the plate. Red cabbage, beet and turnips also provide a splash of color. And all products can now be sourced regionally in February. Cabbage varieties such as Chinese, rose and white cabbage are also in season.

What you should definitely try now? Black winter radish! The slightly spicy tuber-like vegetable is not only easy to prepare, it is also very healthy. Black winter radish is particularly rich in minerals and provides your body with vitamins A, C and E. The radish is also said to have a cleansing, expectorant, antibacterial, antispasmodic and calming effect - especially now in the cold and flu season, black winter radish is a natural aid for coughs and hoarseness.

When it comes to fruit, importing is still the order of the day in February. Apart from apples and pears, there is still hardly anything available regionally. We will probably have to wait for spring and summer...
