Summer officially begins in a couple of days, and that means, farmer’s markets and produce sections will be brimming with summery fruits and vegetables. From juicy, ripe tomatoes to plump, chilled berries, the summer season offers an array of delectable foods that are not only at its peak in taste, but remain relatively inexpensive.
The list of summer produce is a long one because many fruits and vegetables can thrive in warm weather. However, for my sanity, let’s focus on the top 5 summer produce that can make any meal amazingly light, yet satisfying filling. Because, after all, nobody wants something hot and heavy to eat when the temperature rises over 100 degrees (or at least here in Texas, that is).
Let’s take a look at the following 5 fruits and vegetables: berries, watermelon, peaches, cucumbers, and corn.
When you’re thinking of the long summer season, these fruits and vegetables will help you cool down and keep everything light. In the video above, learn how to make vegan Crème Fraîche and Berry Parfait to help cool down this summer. The red, white, and blue treats are perfect for July 4th.
