Eating seasonally is a great way to connect to nature, save money and help the environment too. In this post, we look at what summer food is in season in the UK.
Summer food in season
Summer is defined as June, July, and August in the UK. Buying food in season will be cheaper due to there being so much of it available. It saves the environment as it has not been imported from the other side of the world and helps support the local economy. It also tastes better due to freshness and eating seasonally helps you reconnect to the earth’s natural cycle.
