Spring Summer Fruits – why Eat More
Spring has finally arrived and it’s time to think of the fruits to add to your healthy diet now.
Take a look at the list of some of the best spring-summer fruits and start adding them to your diet day by day. These fruits are easy to store, easy to eat, and generally have plenty of health benefits.

1. Strawberries
Spring is the right time for sweet red berries everybody knows.
Sure, you can buy them now, but I don’t recommend eating strawberries right now since they are less healthy. You can use strawberries in almost every meal.
Strawberries are a great source of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, vitamin A, vitamin K, and vitamin E.

2. Apricots
This bright orange fruit is another delight of spring and summer. It tastes as if it was made for making pies.
If you don’t like cherry pie, I suggest that you try an apricot one. Put some cream on top of it and you will get the food of the gods.
Apricots are high in fiber, vitamin C, potassium, water, calcium, iron and antioxidants.

3. Honeydew Melon
Honeydew melon has a very long growing season from May to October. So you will have a bit of spring, the whole summer and autumn to try all the tastiest recipes with this sweet-scented and colorful season fruit.
If you don’t like bananas you can eat honeydew melon, instead, as it is a great source of potassium.

4. Mangoes
A delicious fruit that you can use in all kinds of spring recipes. Mango is highly popular fruit in spring. It comes from warmer, tropical climates and is ripe from March to June.
Mango is rich in essential vitamins and minerals that help to improve your brain function and immune system, keep your digestive system healthy and fight cancer. It tastes perfect in fruit salads.

5. Blueberries
Blueberries are healthy and delicious and you can start buying them from May to August, and if you go in for gardening, you can even try to grow them in your own garden.
You can add blueberries to your yogurt and fruit salads and enjoy a proper spring taste combined with benefits for your health.
Blueberries help to improve memory function, reduce inflammation, prevent urinary tract infection, reduce belly fat, and are good for your eyes, skin and hair.

6. Cherries
Cherries have incredible health benefits. They can help you boost your energy levels, relieve pain, prevent muscle cramps, improve your brain function, improve your sleep and prevent cancer.
Moreover, they have high anti-inflammatory properties and are good for your digestive system, eyes, and heart.
You may use them in a pie, smoothies, salads, or gelato.

7. Rhubarb
It may surprise you as it did surprise me, but rhubarb is a fruit too! Rhubarb is one of the first spring fruits that you can enjoy right now.
You can try rhubarb in pies, tarts, jams, and even soufflés. Any recipe that needs fruits in it will taste great with this funny little plant!
Rhubarb is wonderful source of Vitamin C that helps to maintain a healthier immune system. Due to its low sodium and saturated fat contents, rhubarb helps to prevent heart related diseases.
