THE BEST FRUITS AND VEGETABLES TO EAT THIS SPRING

Strawberries

A top spring fruit. Nothing tastes better than a succulent spring strawberry! Vitamin C-rich strawberries make a healthful snack.

Avocados

Find a perfectly ripe avocado easier in spring when these fruits are in season. Squeeze an avocado in your hand to check its readiness.

Lemons and Limes

For seasonal shoppers shopping for spring fruits, these are high in Vitamin C.

Apricots

Apricots are overlooked spring fruit. They are high in potassium and fiber. If you've never bought apricots, seek for firm, plump ones without discolorations.

Kiwis

Spring fruits like kiwis are high in Vitamin C, K, and fiber. A ripe kiwi will soften and yield to gentle pressure.

Grapefruit

Spring is when grapefruit is juiciest and tastiest. Weighty for their size and smooth, tight skin indicate juiciness. The deeper the hue, the stronger the flavor.

Cherries

Cherries bring spring with their vibrant red hue and luscious flavor. Avoid soft or wrinkled ones and choose those with shiny, strong skin.

Mangoes

Choose a slightly soft, aromatic stem-scented one. Try smoothies, salsa, or slices. Sweet and spicy mango cubes with lime juice and chili powder make a quick dessert.
