I’m continuing my monthly series of what’s in season each month this month with my guide to fruit and vegetables in season in July.
I’ve found having a list to hand is really handy for meal planning. And I knew it was cheaper to buy fruit and vegetables in season, but I didn’t know quite how much. Thankfully Eat Seasonably have done the maths for me and say that a basket of in season fruit & veg can be a third cheaper than the same one bought out of season. A third! That’s a whole lot of money!
Cherries, curly lettuce and cucumber are at their best in July, but here’s the definitive list of fruit and vegetables in season in July in the UK. I’ve also snuck the in season herbs in again.
