It’s Summer! My favorite season! It’s also a great season if you like fruit because there are lots of fruits in season. Why should you eat in season? Plenty of reasons including the fact that veggies and fruits in season are more nutritious, more tasty, and that it’s easier on your wallet than their non-season counterparts!
