And is 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 reveal which ingredient you can buy when from your trusted local farmer. Let's start with January.

Regional products in January

January is cabbage season. Whether rose, Chinese, green, pointed or white cabbage - the first month of the year has a lot to offer in this respect. Pumpkin is also still available regionally in January. You can also ask your local farmer for savoy cabbage, beet, rocket, turnips and potatoes. You should definitely buy healthy winter vegetables regionally in January.

When it comes to seasonal fruit varieties, things are a little quieter in January. Apples and pears are available regionally, everything else, such as pineapples and bananas, has to be imported.
