Eating in season
Recipes using fruits & vegetables when they are at their best.
Strawberry recipes to try in June:
June: Produce in season
Throughout June, seasonal berries make their way into grocery stores and farmers markets, along with early season cherries, peaches, and nectarines for most climates. In the warmers areas, you'll see melons and more.
Early summer vegetables start to ripen as well, especially zucchini. But you won't see fresh farmers market corn or peppers until the end of the month, unless you live in one of the warmer regions.
Available fruits & vegetables for June will vary based on your location.
Vegetable of the month: zucchini
Zucchini and other summer squash are ready to pick this month and can become overwhelming later in the summer if you're growing them in your own garden. Try some of these recipes while they are in season.
