In the age of online takeout and same-day shipping, we're used to getting what we want when we want it. But our love of instant gratification doesn't always serve us well when it comes to the food we eat. We end up buying sad-looking tomatoes that traveled thousands of miles in the middle of winter, too-ripe grapes that wither on the vine in spring, and small, flavorless Brussels sprouts in summer.

Shopping seasonally means your food tastes better and is fresher (because it didn't have to travel by truck across several countries to see you). Buying in-season produce cuts down on transportation -- and, thus, fuel consumption -- so it's also more environmentally sound. And did we mention the cost? No more $4.99-per-pound tomatoes. In-season food is much cheaper, since the cost of production is low and there is an abundant supply.
