Avocados are common during this season, but timing is key. Let firm avocados ripen at room temperature, then move them to the fridge once ready to slow the process.

Herbs like parsley, cilantro, thyme & rosemary add brightness to heavier winter dishes. Chop and add tender herbs at the end of cooking, while sturdier herbs like rosemary can cook longer. Keep herbs lightly wrapped w/ a damp towel in the fridge, or stand them upright in water.

Butternut, acorn, and spaghetti squash are easy to work into February meals. Roast halves for a simple side, cube and add to grain bowls, or blend cooked squash into soups and sauces.

[Gulf Coast Produce Distributors, Inc. 🇺🇸 @GC_Produce]

Root vegetables are at their most reliable in February. Carrots, beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and onions store naturally well through winter, which means steady supply and consistent quality.

Oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and blood oranges is at peak flavor right now. Use the juice for dressings, marinades, and drinks, and don’t overlook the zest, which adds a lot of aroma without extra acidity.
