Build your own winter grocery list

Why eat seasonally this winter

When the weather turns cold, produce shifts toward sturdy, comforting options. Citrus, kale, cabbage, beets, parsnips and leeks are just some examples. Winter is a great time to eat seasonally. Produce harvested at its peak is typically fresher and more flavorful, and it can be more budget-friendly than out-of-season alternatives shipped from farther away.

Many winter fruits and vegetables also bring standout nutrition. Citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruit and mandarins are excellent sources of vitamin C, which supports immune health during cold and flu season. Hearty greens such as kale and cabbage provide vitamins A, C and K for eye health and strong bones. Root vegetables like beets, parsnips and turnips offer fiber and potassium for digestion and heart health, while leeks add prebiotic fiber to feed beneficial gut bacteria. Building more of these into your meals is a simple, satisfying way to support your health all season long.

Build your own winter grocery list

Use the list below to create a shopping list that fits your kitchen. Browse the in-season fruits and vegetables, use the + and − buttons to set how much of each you want, and build a list that's uniquely yours.

Once you're done, choose how you'd like to shop: print a copy to take with you to the store, or shop the ingredients directly through Instacart for same-day delivery or pickup. However you shop, you'll head into winter with a clear plan — and a cart full of fresh, in-season picks.
