Summer Foods With Maximum Nutrition
Eating foods when they are in season can reward your immune system as well as your taste buds, according to research by a non profit foundation called the World's Healthiest Foods.
According to the foundation, a study from Japan found three-fold differences in the vitamin C content of spinach harvested in summer versus winter.
The foundation recommends eating the following foods during summer months to benefit from their maximum nourishment: fruits like strawberries, apples, pears, and plums; vegetables like summer squash, broccoli, cauliflower, and corn; and spices and seasonings like peppermint and cilantro. Use these foods and ingredients liberally in the summer and reap the nutritional rewards!
