Eating fruits in season is a wonderful way to enjoy fresh flavors while you can. Enjoy these summer fruits at your next family picnic, or for an anytime snack.
Cantaloupe
In season from June to August, this tasty melon makes more than a beautiful summer salad. Cantaloupe contains a lot of Vitamin A, making it great for eye health. It also contains Vitamin C, potassium and folate. So go find your melon baller and whip up a delicious salad!
Strawberries
Whether you add them to your morning cereal, eat them with a bit of dark chocolate drizzled on top, or include them in a fruit smoothie, strawberries are good anytime. Packed with Vitamin K, manganese and Vitamin C, this favorite summer berry is at its best from April through July.
Watermelon
Ripest in the summer, a warm-weather get-together just wouldn't be the same without slices of this fun and refreshing treat. An excellent source of Vitamin C, watermelon is also a very good source of Vitamin A and B-6.
Apples
Crisp, sweet and refreshing, apples are packed with Vitamins C, K and dietary fiber. And a new study shows Red Delicious may have more antioxidants than other types, though all are good for you. The study was published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry , in the June 29th issue.
Fun tip
For a refreshing snack by the pool, make Fruit-Kabobs! Simply cut up your favorite fruits into bite-sized pieces and skewer them together.
