It's so interesting how people in many European countries really don't eat.many vegetables! Thankfully the Italians do or I could never have survived 26 years there. They eat a large variety with incredible flavors that change with the seasons. Similar to what you must have experienced in Afghanistan.
It is amazing how much better vegetables and fruits taste when they are freshly picked, local and in season, isn't it? So much better than produce picked before it is ripe and shipped to far reaches of the world so consumers can eat whatever they want regardless of the season. Locally grown, in-season produce is so much better for our bodies and for the environment. Italians certainly understand and appreciate this!
