At Shoppacart, we’re celebrating the arrival of July by embracing the bounty of seasonal fruits and foods that hit their peak this month. July brings a flavourful palette of fresh produce that not only tastes delicious but also packs a nutritional punch, perfect for summer meals and snacks.

Seasonal Picks for July

1. Berries: July is prime time for strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. These sweet jewels are perfect for desserts, salads, or snacking right out of the bowl.
2. Stone Fruits: Think peaches, nectarines, plums, and cherries. Their juicy and sweet flavours are ideal for baking and grilling.
3. Tomatoes: From cherry tomatoes to heirlooms, they’re incredibly flavourful this time of year. Use them in salads and salsas, or simply enjoy them fresh with a sprinkle of salt.
4. Corn: Sweet corn is a summer staple, perfect for boiling, grilling, or shaving off the cob for salads.
5. Cucumbers and Zucchinis: Crisp and refreshing, these vegetables are great in salads, or for a lighter fare, try them spiralized as “noodles.”

Featured Recipes with Seasonal Foods

1. Berry Pavlova: Celebrate berry season with this light dessert with a meringue base topped with whipped cream and a generous helping of mixed berries. The natural sweetness of July’s berries perfectly complements the creamy and crunchy textures of the pavlova.
2. Grilled Peach and Tomato Salad: Combine sliced peaches and tomatoes with fresh mozzarella on a bed of arugula. Drizzle with a balsamic reduction and a sprinkle of fresh basil for a refreshing salad that embodies the flavours of July.

These recipes showcase the best of what July offers and are perfect for any summer gathering. Enjoy the freshness and happy cooking!
