Seasonal veg & fruit calendar: what's in season now?

The tastiest, most valuable produce is always what's in season: that's when it's most flavourful, most nutritious and usually best-priced too. That's why we always work with a seasonal selection. This calendar walks through what's at its peak in Hungarian fields, month by month.

• Veg: wild garlic, asparagus, radish, spring onion, lettuces, spinach, sorrel, tender greens, early kohlrabi.

Why follow the season?

• Flavour — produce picked in season tastes best.
• Price — best value at the peak of abundance.
• Nutrition — fresh and ripe means the highest vitamin content.
• Variety — an ever-changing range brings something new to the kitchen each week.
