What’s in Season This Spring?
The spring is a time of new beginnings — fresh blooms, sprouting gardens and delicious spring produce.
But what exactly is in season in spring? There are some springtime staples like strawberries and asparagus, but the season also gives us some not-as-popular (but equally delicious!) produce like radishes, mangoes and leeks. And with spring being a season of new beginnings, what better time to try some of these different ingredients?
Below is a slideshow of seasonal spring produce that we can look forward to eating this time of year. Which one are you most excited about? Let us know in the comments!
Artichokes
Artichokes are most fresh from March through June, while we can find their petite versions (baby artichokes) from March through May. When buying artichokes, look for plump ones that feel heavy for their size with tightly closed leaves. You can also pull back the outer leaves to check that the insides don’t have any black spots. Add them to this Mediterranean Pasta Salad for fresh spring flavor.
