A seasonal vegetable is one which ripens naturally in the zone in which it is grown and not imported from a zone with a different season.

For instance, Brussels sprouts naturally ripen in winter. Winter in the UK is from around October to March, so sprouts would be a seasonal vegetable during that time.

However, if people in the UK wanted sprouts in summer, they could import them from New Zealand where they are a seasonal vegetable in July & August.
