What's In Season In March?

Finally, March has come around. Which means spring is just around the corner and, along with warmer temperatures, there will be a wider diversity of produce at the farmers’ market.

So what’s in season in March? You’ll find luscious leeks, fresh asparagus, spring peas, colorful radishes and mushrooms, among other winter staples like root veggies and citrus.

Here’s a look at what’s in season in March so you can start planning what to cook this month:

Artichokes

One of the joys of eating artichokes is discovering their natural sweetness. Enjoy them steamed, stuffed, fried or whipped into a creamy dip.

MUSHROOMS

Mushroom Risotto
Whether mixed into a creamy risotto, tossed into a salad, pureed into soup or sautéed into a frittata, mushrooms are a wonderful addition to any meal of the day.

They are very low in calories (a cup contains just 27 calories!) and also offer a nice boost of vitamin D.

LEEKS

Leek Buckwheat Pancakes
A cousin to onions, leeks offer a more subtle flavor to dishes like soups, savory crepes and roasts.

The green part of this vegetable is usually discarded. To clean: simply slice the white root in half and soak in a bowl of cold water. Rinse, dry and use as you prefer.
