Winter is at its peak and we are turning more and more towards our favorite foods for warmth and comfort. Hot chocolate, gajar ka halwa and all those hot sweet treats will always be our favourites, but one more thing we really crave in winters is seasonal vegetables. Winter brings with it many green and other vegetables that make up many dishes for all meals. While we struggle to find variety of vegetables in summers, winters turn around and bring us a wealth of nutrient-rich vegetables.
Seasonal products are fresher and richer in nutrients than non-seasonal foods. Therefore, it is important to keep it until you can hold it anew. These winter-specific vegetables will help you through even the harshest, chilly weather, leaving you strong from within.
