 <\/p>\n

Avocado<\/strong> \u2013 avocados ripen after harvesting which is why they aren\u2019t always ripe when you buy them.\u00a0 I ripen my avocados at home by putting them in a paper bag with a few bananas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carrot<\/strong> \u2013 purple, black, red, white, yellow or the more common orange carrot, unfortunately carrots don\u2019t help you see at night but they are deliciously sweet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chicory<\/strong> \u2013 raw chicory has a bitter taste which is reduced when cooked.\u00a0 There are generally three types of chicory: Radicchio, Sugarloaf and Belgian endive.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cucumber<\/strong> \u2013 cucumbers have a lovely mild melon aroma and flavour and a slightly bitter taste to the rind.\u00a0 The reason they are so refreshing is because they are 95% water!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lettuce<\/strong> \u2013 there are several types of lettuce that come into season in April including romaine, Batavia and oak leaf lettuce.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mange tout<\/strong> \u2013 the French for \u201ceat all\u201d\u00a0is the name for both snow peas and snap peas.\u00a0 Snow peas are flatter than snap peas but both are varieties of peas that are eaten whole in the pods while still unripe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Peas<\/strong> \u2013 fresh green peas are only available in the spring when the peas are still immature and can be eaten straight after being picked.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Radishes<\/strong> \u2013 my favourite way to eat radishes is as a starter with a slice of buttered French bread and a pinch of salt.\u00a0 It\u2019s the best way to enjoy the peppery flavour.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Spinach<\/strong> – Spinach first appeared in England and France in the 14th century, and it gained quick popularity because it appeared in early spring, when other vegetables were scarce.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_custom_heading text=”Fruits in season in April” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%20Slab%3A100%2C300%2Cregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]The fruits that are in season in April are Banana, Grapefruit, Kiwi, Lemon, Mango, Pear and Rhubarb.[\/vc_column_text][vc_cta h2=””]Check out this post about the 6 great reasons to eat in season<\/u> <\/a>that inspired me to try to use seasonal fruits, vegetables and fish when I\u2019m meal planning and cooking.[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
