Tip 7 from “10 Easy Steps to Incorporate more Local & Seasonal Food into your Diet”
Learn how to substitute. This is a great way to incorporate unfamiliar foods into your diet while enjoying your favorite dishes. For example, substitute the long-storing celeriac root for celery in the winter. Try baking with local honey or maple syrup instead of can sugar, which is grown in southern climates and uses large amounts of chemicals. Winter salads can have wonderful flavor and color with local sprouts and grated winter vegetables rather than lettuce shipped from California. Treat recipes as a starting point from which ideas can be generated, instead of something that must be followed exactly.
