Frost-tolerant crops are plants that can withstand low temperatures and light frosts without suffering significant damage. These crops have developed specific adaptations, such as thicker cell walls and antifreeze proteins, which help them survive cold conditions. Common examples include kale, spinach, and carrots, which can thrive in cooler climates. Farmers often choose frost-tolerant crops to extend the growing season and ensure a reliable harvest. By planting these crops, they can take advantage of early spring or late fall conditions, reducing the risk of crop loss due to unexpected frosts. This practice supports food security and sustainable agriculture.
