The Stars of Summer: Must-Try Fruits
The stars of the summer produce are unquestionably fruits. Here’s a sneak peek at some that are at their peak this season:
- Berries: Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries are abundant in summer. They’re not only delicious but also loaded with antioxidants and vitamins.
- Stone Fruits: Cherries, peaches, apricots, and plums are referred to as stone fruits due to their hard, pit-like seeds. They’re sweet, juicy, and perfect for a variety of dishes.
- Melons: Is there anything more refreshing than biting into a juicy watermelon on a hot summer day? Cantaloupe and honeydew are other delicious options.
- Mangoes: Often referred to as the king of fruits, mangoes are a sweet, tropical delight that reaches its peak in summer.
Juicy Creations: Summer Fruit Recipes
Fruits are fantastic as they are, but they’re also excellent ingredients in cooking. Here are a few refreshing recipes to try this summer.
