Seasons – Helps You Eat Fresher!

Jul-11-2009 By Barbara Zak

We all have to choose what to eat everyday.  Now, there is a new application to help you do just that.  It is like bringing the local farmer’s market right to your finger tips… REALLY!

Whether being at the supermarket or choosing a menu at a restaurant – we have to decide what to eat every single day. Seasons, an application made for the iPhone, makes it easier for customers across Northern America and Europe, to experience produce all at the very peak of freshness, just as nature intended.

Seasons, for the iPhone and iPod Touch, provides all the information you need to make the right decisions when choosing your food. The database of the application contains 170 entries of fruits, vegetables, lettuce, herbs, mushrooms and nuts.

The recent release, expands its support for seasonal data from Central Europe, United Kingdom, and Ireland to the United States and France. This includes information about local seasons as well as seasonal imports.

The nice user interface, gives a weekly overview of produce currently being in season.
It also allows you to browse the content by month, or category, as well as searching by name. In addition to a photo of every single entry, there is a detailed seasonal chart, as well as a brief description text to get some background information.

The application is listed under category Lifestyle at the iTunes App Store

Special thanks to the team of Christian Klotz and Saskia Schmidt, for creating this wonderful and very useful application.  Now, there are no more excuses for not making healthy choices.  We now know what is fresh and in season and at the best price, and best of all, it is right there at our fingertips!
