01Why I Started Cooking With Seasonal Vegetables
Hello, everyone. A year ago, I made a small change in my kitchen: I started cooking mainly with vegetables that are in season. Today, I'd like to recommend it to you.
皆さん、こんにちは。1年前、台所で小さな変化をしました。主に旬の野菜で料理するようにしたのです。今日は、それを皆さんにおすすめしたいと思います。
02What Does "In Season" Mean?
Seasonal vegetables are the ones that grow naturally at a certain time of year. For example, tomatoes in summer and pumpkins in autumn.
旬の野菜とは、一年のある時期に自然に育つ野菜のことです。たとえば、夏のトマトや秋のかぼちゃです。
03Reason 1: Better Taste
The first reason is taste. When vegetables are picked at the right time, they are fresher and full of flavor. My summer tomatoes taste completely different from the ones I bought in winter.
一つ目の理由は、味です。ちょうどいい時期に収穫された野菜は、新鮮で、味がたっぷりです。夏のトマトは、冬に買ったトマトとはまったく違う味がします。
04Reason 2: Lower Prices
The second reason is price. When a vegetable is in season, there is usually a lot of it, so it often costs less. I save money without even trying.
二つ目の理由は、値段です。旬の野菜はたいていたくさん出回るので、安くなることが多いです。何もしなくても、お金が節約できます。
05My Year of Vegetables
The third reason is that it keeps cooking interesting. Every season brings something new, so I never get bored of my meals.
三つ目の理由は、料理が面白くなり続けることです。季節ごとに新しいものが出てくるので、食事に飽きることがありません。
06How to Start
Starting is easy. Visit a local market, ask the seller what is fresh this week, and try one new recipe with it.
始めるのは簡単です。地元の市場に行って、お店の人に今週は何が新鮮かを聞いて、それを使った新しいレシピを一つ試してみましょう。
07Conclusion
In short, seasonal vegetables make my meals tastier, cheaper, and more fun. Why not try cooking with the season this week? Thank you.
つまり、旬の野菜のおかげで、私の食事はもっとおいしく、もっと安く、もっと楽しくなりました。今週、季節に合わせて料理してみませんか?ありがとうございました。
