Grocery basket - February

Focus of the month/23 February 2022

February is the month when there is practically nothing left on the fresh group of fruits and vegetables. This has always been the case, because the season in Ukraine is very weather dependent. There are several methods of preserving products: pickling, curing, fermentation, freezing and marinade. We choose the one we know, know how to do and practice. Let’s not forget that there are imports and artificial cultivation under certain created conditions.

February’s diet is based on nutrient dense soups with legumes/root vegetables, stews with different types of cabbage, and side dishes with different types of grains, cereals, grains.

In the cold season there is always an increased appetite, as a person spends a significant part of energy exchange for his own heating. Do not replace the spent energy is always available sweet desserts. Apples/pears are excellent through the winter, and citrus fruits and pomegranate are also imported. Thicken your meals with seeds, nuts and oils.
The local focus of the Ukrainian market in February is root crops.
