18 Jan Eating Seasonally Throughout the Winter Months

At Park Place Senior Living in Hendersonville, Tennessee, we encourage our community members to embrace the flavors of the season by eating seasonally during the winter months. Choosing fruits and vegetables that are in season not only enhances the taste of your meals but also supports local farmers and provides a nutritional boost, touting possible health benefits.

Winter is the perfect time to enjoy hearty root vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, and parsnips, which are rich in vitamins and minerals to keep you energized through the dark of Winter. Dark leafy greens like kale and spinach are also abundant, offering essential nutrients to support your immune system. And let’s not forget winter fruits like citrus! Oranges, grapefruits, and clementines are packed with vitamin C to help ward off seasonal colds.

At Park Place, our dining team incorporates fresh, seasonal ingredients into delicious meals that warm the soul. Eating seasonally helps community members enjoy the full benefits of winter produce while staying healthy and satisfied.

Make the most of this winter season by exploring the abundance nature has to offer in every meal!
