What's in season in March?

March seasonal fruits chart

What fruits & vegetables are in season this month?

The beginning of March still offers only the winter fruits and vegetables - hang in there! If weather is cooperative this year, asparagus and artichokes will start to show up by mid-March.

And there are no shortage of recipes for asparagus or artichokes either:

Winter citrus and kiwi are still seasonal this month. The 2021-2022 mandarin crop is smaller than last year's (although 2020-2021 was an exceptionally heavy crop). The citrus industry is expecting mandarins to be available through May of this year (a month longer than usual).

Even if you feel tired of eating citrus throughout all of winter, this is arguably the best month for them. Citrus should be even sweeter and more flavorful now that we are at the end of their harvest season. That's because they stop developing flavor once harvested, so the ones left longer on the tree to extend the season have more flavor.

Monthly seasonal guides

The seasonal guides cover produce for every month. Coming up in April, you'll see the first strawberries, cherries, and rhubarb. If you live in cooler climates, you'll see them in stores, but might have to wait another month until they show up at farmers markets.

Ask me anything

I do a lot of research about produce to figure out why some fruits & veggies taste good and others bland. I also dig into the science of why some recipes work and others don't. No question goes unanswered, and I'm here to share the results with you.
