Ayurveda advocates eating locally grown vegetables that are in season in each area. This can be particularly challenging in cold regions.

- As fall draws near access to fresh vegetables starts to dwindle. So, try to preserve vegetables with canning, dehydrating or freezing.
- Pickling has traditionally been a great way to preserve vegetables- slight fermentation also helps in making it gut-healthy.
- If you have access to fresh fruits or grow your own- try making delicious preserves and juice concentrate that you can utilize for months to come.
