What's In Season- March

March is a transitional month for seasonal produce, with winter crops still available and early spring vegetables beginning to emerge. Here’s a list of what’s in season in March!

March is a month of celebration, connection, and fresh flavors! As we transition into spring, it’s the perfect time to embrace seasonal eating and the joy that food brings to our lives. This year’s National Nutrition Month theme, Food Connects Us, is a beautiful reminder that food is more than just fuel—it’s a way to bring people together, honor traditions, and nourish our bodies. The Mediterranean diet embodies this philosophy, emphasizing shared meals, fresh ingredients, and a balanced approach to eating.

With Mardi Gras and St. Patrick’s Day on the calendar, there are plenty of reasons to gather around the table and enjoy fun, flavorful dishes. And if you’re gearing up for spring break, now is a great time to focus on nourishing meals that keep you feeling energized and refreshed for all your adventures.

As the Spring Equinox marks the balance of day and night, it’s a great opportunity to embrace lighter, seasonal dishes like roasted asparagus, citrus salads, and sautéed greens that celebrate the shift to longer, sunnier days.

As the seasons shift, so does what’s in season! Our favorite winter vegetables and citrus are still available for a little bit longer. While crisp greens, tender spring vegetables like asparagus and artichokes make their way to the market, offering endless inspiration for fresh, delicious meals. Let’s celebrate the connections we build through food and the flavors of the new season—check out what’s in season this month and get cooking!
