Date: April 01, 2009 05:55PM It can be really hard if you live in a climate with cold winters. For myself, living in rural New York, I eat a lot of hothouse grown foods, imported foods, and things that I've frozen or dehydrated during the summer. Sprouts are a great way to produce high quality food throughout the winter. Re: Eating seasonal during winter

For myself, I eat a lot of citrus during the winter, as well as bananas. Re: Eating seasonal during winter

The reason for this is that above the 40 degree latitude (such as New York City), our bodies cannot manufacture Vitamin D from the sun in the winter. So we have to get our vitamin D from foods in the winter, and these are not vegan - such as egg yolks and fatty fish. You can eat fortified cereal, for instance, which may appear vegan but is really just cereal with fish oil, it just doesn't say that on the box but that's where the vitamin D supplement comes from - fish oil. So yeah as Bryan says, if you want to be 100% raw vegan, then you have to move South. Re: Eating seasonal during winter
