Winter seems to be a bleak time of year for fruit and veggies, but that isn’t always the case. While summer berries will be missed by many, a few other fruits and vegetables thrive in wintertime. While some vegetables are harvested in Autumn and if properly stored can last through the winter months, some produce does quite well in cooler air and soil and even tastes better when harvested in winter.
A very popular vegetable that thrives in winter is the sweet potato. It’s a prime example of how vegetables can shine in the winter. They can be stored in a dark and cool environment and will stay fresh for months. Potatoes, in particular sweet potatoes, are also one of the healthiest vegetables.
Winter vegetables are extremely versatile; you can use them in 
many different ways and in a variety of dishes and recipes. They are also full of nutrients, vitamins, and all things good for our health.
