Eating locally/seasonally

[Guest guest]

Hello. I have been struggling with trying to eat locally and

seasonally here in northern Minnesota on this diet. As you know we are

in the beauty of winter and along with that comes lack of produce. The

only produce that could be considered somewhat local and seasonal are

root vegetables and winter squash as well as onions because they all

keep well. We have been eating a ton of onions with all our meat and

fat dishes but it is hard to keep with the traditions of eating

seasonal/local because all the root veggies are too high in carbs. I

have been eating some red potatoes because I have read that they are a

lot less starchier than the other kinds. I think the veggies that

travel here from California and Mexico are a lot less tasty and also

much more vitamin depleted than the local root veggies. I am torn

here. Any thoughts or suggestions regarding this matter? Peace! Crystal
