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.

∙ 14y agoSeasonal fruits and vegetables can only be found during certain times of the year (when they would normally be growing in your area). Before refrigeration trucks you would be hard pressed to find asparagus and eggplants during a New England winter let alone tropical fruit. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are also more nutritious and have better flavor when they are grown locally in the proper conditions instead of being picked early and shipped thousands of miles to sit on store shelves.
