COOKING IN SEASON (summer)

four spread the love summer recipes using seasonal produce

Summer is here and that means it's time to indulge in the many vibrant flavors of fresh, seasonal produce. Here at Spread The Love, we value ingredients and their quality. Cooking and baking with summer fruits and vegetables not only makes your meals taste amazing but also ensures you are eating these items at their peak, most flavorful and nutrient-dense time. 


Why Cook with Seasonal Produce?

  1. Flavor and Freshness: Seasonal produce is at its peak in flavor and nutrient content.
  2. Cost-Effective: Local, in-season fruits and veggies are often more affordable.
  3. Sustainability: Eating seasonally supports local farmers and reduces the carbon footprint from long-distance shipping.
Top Summer Produce to Enjoy:
  • Berries: Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
  • Stone Fruits: Peaches, plums, cherries
  • Vegetables: Zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, corn
  • Leafy Greens: Spinach, arugula, basil
Here are a few recipes to get you started:
