As the calendar continues to advance, the dawn of the spring season is now upon us. The warmer weather and the longer days don’t only mean that we can start putting away our winter coats, but it also means that the type of fresh produce that is in season is beginning to change.
If you’re a fan of in-season, local fruit, keep an eye out for these spring fruits at your local grocery store or market.
Lemons
Lemons are at their peak in late winter and early spring, making them a great choice for this time of the year. Their tart flavor and range of uses, from lemon peel in cakes to lemon juice in citrus marinades, make them a versatile and incredibly useful fruit to have in your kitchen.
Kiwis
Kiwis come into their peak season in the spring in the Northern Hemisphere, which means that you can enjoy a more local product instead of something imported from Australia or New Zealand. Not only are these fruits delicious, but they’re also incredibly healthy.
Grapefruit
Grapefruit is another one of our spring picks, as it comes into season just around the same time as their citrus cousin, the lemon does. Grapefruits provide a great Vitamin C boost to help you avoid getting sick and they’re are also super tasty if you like tart flavors.
