Sweater weather is officially here, and it is time to trade the sundresses for knits and the iced matchas for something warm.
We would never dream of walking out into a November chill in a linen sundress, so why on earth do we expect our bodies to handle a watermelon in November?
There is a brilliant logic to how nature works. The earth gives us exactly what our physiology craves, precisely when we need it.
Living in Tuscany makes this super easy—walk into the market now, and you are met with what is actually in season. But when I was visiting Los Angeles recently, it hit me all over again: you can find mangoes, papayas, watermelons, mushrooms, and artichokes sitting side-by-side. Everything is in season. No, nothing really.
Nothing is actually in season; it is just flown in from God knows where.
If you are stateside, it takes a little extra mindfulness to look past the global produce aisle and ask: what is the season actually asking of my plate right now?
Just like we are ditching summer clothes, it is time to say a temporary goodbye to smoothies & iced lattes. Your digestion will thank you for warming things up as the weather cools down.
How are you shifting your grocery shopping as the seasons change?
