What is one advantage of buying fruits in season?

Buying fruits in season often results in lower prices. When fruits are in peak season, they are typically harvested at their most abundant and sold at local markets, which means that supply is high. This high supply often leads to lower prices for consumers, making it more economically beneficial to purchase these fruits when they are in season. Additionally, in-season fruits are often sourced locally, reducing transportation costs and contributing to overall savings.

While certain fruits may be more nutritious and flavorful when they are in season, the key factor for cost-conscious consumers is the increased availability that leads to reduced prices. Longer shelf life can vary depending on the fruit and its ripeness at the time of purchase rather than being directly tied to whether it is in or out of season.
