There are some glorious fruits and vegetables in season in February! While some of our favorites (like berries and stone fruit) are not in season this month, there are some unique and delicious fruit & veg that is at peak flavor this month. Some of my favorites are kumquats, grapefruit, and Brussels sprouts.
One important thing to note is that seasonality of produce is different between states, countries, and regions. This is primarily a seasonal guide for North America, although there will be overlap with other countries and places in the Northern hemisphere.
There are great regional resources for what’s in season, some of which I’ve listed below. With that in mind, here’s what’s in season in February!
