What's In Season - June
From juicy berries to garden-fresh basil, June brings an abundance of seasonal ingredients perfect for Mediterranean-inspired meals.
Hello, June!
Summer is almost officially here, and with it comes some of the most colorful, flavorful produce of the year. Farmers markets are overflowing, gardens are thriving, and fresh fruits and vegetables are at their peak. It’s the perfect time to fill your plate with seasonal ingredients that make healthy eating both simple and delicious.
June is also Alzheimer’s & Brain Health Awareness Month, making it a great opportunity to focus on foods that support cognitive health. Many of this month’s fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and plant compounds that help protect the brain and support overall wellness. From juicy berries to vibrant tomatoes and leafy greens, nature provides plenty of nourishing options this time of year.
On June 21 we also celebrate Father's Day and welcome the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. Whether you’re gathering with family, cooking outdoors, or simply enjoying a slower evening on the patio, seasonal produce makes every meal feel a little brighter.
