Find out which vegetables are in season in July. Start eating seasonal vegetables this July to eat them at their best and get the best value for your money.
Some of my favourite vegetables are in season in July. Tomatoes, broad beans and new potatoes abound. Plus lettuces and cucumber for delicious salads, lovely young carrots and - my favourite - courgettes. Don't miss the chance to eat the courgette flowers as well - if you've grown your own you'll have the best chance of this.
Vegetables taste better when eaten in season. You're more likely to be eating them nearer to where they were produced - which means you'll be eating them fresher - and is better for the environment. There's no need to import vegetables from Europe or further afield if you follow the seasons.
If you receive a vegetable box or bag delivered to your house you'll probably be familiar with eating seasonal vegetables. If not, look out for the vegetables below in your local greengrocer or supermarket this July.
