Winter brings more of the same as the fall. Tubers like potatoes and sweet potatoes are available. More root vegetables like turnips and rutabagas are on display as well. Cabbage, endive and broccoli are still readily available.
Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons and grapefruit begin to sweeten in the winter as do kiwi, persimmons and pommelos. Later in the season, kumquats also become prominent.
