Ourharvest: Which Summer Fruits Are Best?

By Kevin Santoro


If you want something sweet to eat, but want to be healthy, fruit is probably going to be the option that springs to mind first. It's easy to see why, seeing as how there are many types that appeal to our sense of taste. Now that we find ourselves in the summertime, though, some fruits are going to be more in season than others. For those who are looking to make the best investment, here are some of the best summer fruits that OurHarvest will recommend.

Berries - Upon looking at this, you might be curious to know which berries are in season during summer. There are many different varieties to take into account, including blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. Not only will these be fresh at your local Long Island farmers market, but the nutrition they provide is nothing short of beneficial. Of course, there are other summer fruits that companies along the lines of OurHarvest can easily recommend.

Peaches - Another popular type of summer fruit is the peach, which is not only sweet and nutritious, but can be prepared in different ways. Did you know that it's just as possible to grill them as it is to bake them into a pie? Not only are they rich in vitamin C, but they contain ample potassium and vitamin A to boot. If you're looking for fruit to shock your shelves with this summer, make sure that there is enough room for peaches.

Grapes - Another fruit to look for during the summer is grapes, which are especially crisp and sweet during these warmer months. They are easy to eat on their own, which makes them ideal for guilt-free snacking. What you may not know about grapes is how nutritious they are, since they contain essential B and K vitamins alike. It's easy to see why farmers markets promote grapes to sell when they're in season.

Watermelon - If you're shopping for summer fruit and overlook watermelon, you're making a huge mistake. Keep in mind that it actually contains little sugar, seeing as how the fruit itself is composed of around 92 percent water. This doesn't mean that nutrition is left out of the picture, though, since watermelon is known as a great source of vitamins A and C alike. Kids and adults take to this fruit rather well, which speaks volumes about how favorable it is.
