With Veganuary very popular in January, it’s nice to know that fruits and vegetables are available this month.

The National Trust write why not get the New Year off to a good start by tucking into the best fresh veg available in gardens, allotments and shops.

January is a great time to prune back your fruit trees, and if you do it now, you will see fabulous results later in the year. It’s quite a quiet time on the harvesting front, but tasty veg such as parsnips, swedes and leeks should be good to go. 

Vegetables in January are:

• Brussels sprouts
• Spring green cabbage 
• Savoy cabbage
• Carrots
• Cauliflower
• Kale
• Parsnips
• Swedes

The fruits in January are

• Apples
• Pears
