In December pickings are a bit slimmer, but there are still a surprising amount of fruit and vegetables in season in December. Brussels Sprouts and White Cabbage at are their very best this month, but there’s a lot of other good stuff to look for.
To help you out I’ve rounded up what’s in season this month so you know what to look out for at your local shop, supermarket or farmer’s market.
