1. Strawberries
Spring is the right time for sweet red berries everybody knows. Between April and June you can find strawberries
at local farmers’ markets. Sure, you can buy them now, but I don’t
recommend eating strawberries right now since they are less healthy. You
can use strawberries in almost every meal. Personally, I like to add
strawberries to my grilled chicken salad anв smoothies. Strawberries are
a great source of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, vitamin A, vitamin K, and
vitamin E. 2. Apricots
This
bright orange fruit is another delight of spring and summer. It tastes
as if it was made for making pies. If you don’t like cherry pie, I
suggest that you try an apricot one. Put some cream on top of it and you
will get the food of the gods. You can dry some apricots as well to
save some lumps of summer sun for winter days. Apricots are high in
fiber, vitamin C, potassium, water, calcium, iron and antioxidants. 3. Honeydew Melon
Honeydew
melon has a very long growing season from May to October. So you will
have a bit of spring, the whole summer and autumn to try all the
tastiest recipes with this sweet-scented and colorful season fruit. If
you don’t like bananas you can eat honeydew melon, instead, as it is a
great source of potassium. But better try to mix the both in a salad or
smoothie in order to get the best from both. Bon appétit!4. Mangoes
A
delicious fruit that you can use in all kinds of spring recipes. Mango
is highly popular fruit in spring. It comes from warmer, tropical
climates and is ripe from March to June. Mango is rich in essential
vitamins and minerals that help to improve your brain function and
immune system, keep your digestive system healthy and fight cancer. It
tastes perfect in fruit salads, as trimmings, and as it is. A great
choice for an outdoor spring parties!5. Blueberries
Blueberries
are healthy and delicious and you can start buying them from May to
August, and if you go in for gardening, you can even try to grow them in
your own garden. You can add blueberries to your yogurt and fruit
salads and enjoy a proper spring taste combined with benefits for your
health. Blueberries help to improve memory function, reduce
inflammation, prevent urinary tract infection, reduce belly fat, and are
good for your eyes, skin and hair.6. Cherries
Cherries
have incredible health benefits. They can help you boost your energy
levels, relieve pain, prevent muscle cramps, improve your brain
function, improve your sleep and prevent cancer. Moreover, they have
high anti-inflammatory properties and are good for your digestive
system, eyes, and heart. You may use them in a pie, smoothies, salads,
or gelato. In fact, there are many recipes to choose from.
Unfortunately, the growing season of cherries is only from May to June.
It’s so hard to wait till the next spring to eat cherries under the
bright warm spring sun. 7. Rhubarb
It
may surprise you as it did surprise me, but rhubarb is a fruit too!
Well, you may call it whatever you like, but the main thing about it is
its popularity and amazing taste. Rhubarb is one of the first spring
fruits that you can enjoy right now. You can try rhubarb in pies, tarts,
jams, and even soufflés. Any recipe that needs fruits in it will taste
great with this funny little plant! Rhubarb is wonderful source of
Vitamin C that helps to maintain a healthier immune system. Due to its
low sodium and saturated fat contents, rhubarb helps to prevent heart
related diseases. It’s always a great idea to consume fruits year round, but when it comes to spring and summer, the options are endless. Fruits are fortified with powerful nutrients that help you feel better and look better. What are your favorite spring/summer fruits?
