Here is our 'What's In Season' guide to the best seasonal produce throughout February.

During the winter months, the UK supports a slightly more limited range of fruits, vegetables, herbs, fish, meat, poultry, game and cheeses to choose from.

However, the items available provide an incredibly hearty and for-filling selection for this month, with heaps of root veggies, dark leafy greens, rich meats and tasty cheeses which can be used to make nutritious stews, casseroles, soups and other healthy side dishes.
