Why eat seasonally this summer

As the days get longer and hotter, farmers markets and grocery aisles overflow with juicy, colorful produce. Ripe tomatoes, sweet corn, plump berries and fragrant peaches are just some examples. Summer is a great time to eat seasonally. Produce harvested at its peak is typically fresher and more flavorful, and it can be more budget-friendly than out-of-season alternatives shipped from farther away.

Many summer fruits and vegetables also bring standout nutrition. Berries like blackberries and blueberries are rich in fiber, vitamin C and anthocyanins, antioxidants that support heart and brain health. Melons such as watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew are high in water, which helps with hydration on hot days, and they provide vitamins A and C. Stone fruits like cherries, peaches and plums add vitamins and polyphenols, while vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, okra and summer squash offer fiber, potassium and lycopene. Filling your plate with these is an easy, refreshing way to support your health all season long.
