Eating “in season” is the best way to get cheap, delicious produce.

Plus, you can often get it locally grown (that means less environmental impact), sometimes even organic, and sometimes from the farmer’s market (that’s helping your local economy).

Of course, growing seasons are different in different parts of the US and different parts of the world, so the list here is just a guideline for what you can look for.

JUNE brings …

Apricots, Banana, Blackberries, Blueberries, Cherries, Mangoes, Melons, Papayas, Peaches/Nectarines, Pineapple, Plums, Raspberries, Strawberries, Watermelon

June is known for BERRIES – and berries are great for antioxidants. For a healthy treat, try a cup of fresh berries topped with half a cup of plain or vanilla soy yogurt, 1/4 cup of sliced raw almonds (or your favorite nuts), and drizzled with a teaspoon of agave nectar. Yummy!
