Where I live (south of Europe) you can tell very easily what fruit or vegetables are in season:
1. They taste orders of magnitude better compared to when they are not in season (e.g. oranges when sourced from nearby Greece or Turkey, as opposed to ones shipped all the way from South Africa or Australia)
2. They are much cheaper to buy on local fruit and vegetable stands. Also, big chains like Lidl or Kaufland run good sales on them as well.
