winter vegetables

Frost-hardy garden crops

Winter vegetables are produce that grow in cold weather or store well through winter months—root vegetables like carrots, turnips, and parsnips; hearty greens like kale and Brussels sprouts; and squashes that keep for months after harvest.

The category reflects both growing season and traditional patterns of eating seasonally: a hearty soup of winter vegetables, the farmers market still had winter vegetables in February.
