Knowing when fruits and vegetables are in season in Quebec and the greater Montreal area can help you support local farmers, support the local economy, eat tastier produce, and save money while doing it. The problem with not eating seasonal products is that the consumer often ends up paying more for products that are not as tasty or nutritious while at the same time inadvertently supporting the high pollution trips associated with the transport of less ripe and more off-season products. expensive from different corners of the world, this, with no guarantee that foreign farmers will be paid a fair rate, let alone a living wage.
It is also the most basic first step to eating local. Once you know what’s in season, it’s easier to hunt for bona fide Quebec-grown produce, especially in Montreal’s public markets.
