As summer continues to move forward, it won’t be too long until temperatures start to level off and the season will start to draw to an end. You still have plenty of time to prepare for the end of summer food-wise, and one of the things you absolutely must do is start preparing for recipes involving the end of the season’s top produce choices.
Here are three fruits and veggies which you should definitely buy as summer comes to a close for delicious meals.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes come into season around the end of summer when they reach their peak of juiciness and sweetness. Whether you love them in Caprese salads or on top of a hamburger, there’s no better time than late summer to enjoy a tomato.
Watermelon
Watermelon is a classic summer fruit whose high water content and pleasant sweetness make it a top choice for days at the park or on the beach. Late July and August are when this fruit reaches its sweet peak, making it perfect for those late summer days.
Corn
Are you a fan of corn? If so, there’s no better time to pick up a few ears at your local grocery store or produce market than late summer. Corn gets sweeter and sweeter as the summer goes along, and by the time the second half of the season rolls around, corn’s flavor can’t be beat.
