What's in season in the UK this July?

One of the simplest ways to reconnect with our food is to eat with the seasons.

Not because it's about getting everything right, but because it encourages us to notice what's naturally growing around us. Seasonal produce is often fresher, more flavourful and supports local growers when it's available.

Here's what's in season across the UK this July.

Fruit

Strawberries, cherries, raspberries, gooseberries, blackcurrants, blueberries.

Vegetables

Courgettes, tomatoes, carrots, peas, broad beans, cucumbers, lettuce, beetroot, broccoli, new potatoes, spinach, rocket, French beans, spring onions.

Herbs

Basil, chives, dill, mint, parsley and thyme.

This month, we're enjoying...

Juicy tomatoes, sweet strawberries, handfuls of fresh basil and simple meals made with ingredients at their best.

If you have the chance, visit your local farmers' market or greengrocer and see what's in abundance. Seasonal eating isn't about restriction—it's about appreciating food as it naturally comes into season.
