Seasonal Crops of December

2023-12-07

Heavy snow. Heavy snowfall. The beginning of mid-winter 

Heavy Snow is the third solar term of winter. It officially marks the entrance of the coldest period of winter, with shorter daylights and lower temperatures. In addition to keeping your head and feet warm during Winter Commences, it is also very important to keep your neck and back warm after heavy snow. Avoid staying up late and keep exercising, mainly low- to medium-intensity exercises, such as walking, jogging and yoga. When it comes to diet, it should be warm and mainly nourish the kidneys and the intake of salty foods should be reduced. Warm vegetables include ginger, pumpkin and onions. Seasonal crops change with time. Consuming plants in season gives the benefit of less pesticides when the vegetables are planted and harvested at the best time. The taste is better, too. Also, as it is in season, the production is more while the price is less.
