June: Seasonal produce

June welcomes a vibrant array of fresh, locally grown produce across the country. Strawberries reach their peak, bursting with sweetness, superb for summer desserts and in time for Wimbledon. Asparagus season nears its end, so enjoy it while it lasts. Broad beans, peas, and new potatoes bring fresh flavour to seasonal dishes. Leafy greens like spinach, chard, and lettuce flourish, ideal for lighter meals, preferably enjoyed in the great outdoors. Courgettes begin to appear, offering versatility in both savoury and grilled recipes. Embracing seasonal produce supports British farmers, reduces food miles, and delivers the freshest taste. Celebrate the early summer harvest by shopping locally and eating with the seasons.
