Some of the best summer fruits are only available for a few months each year. Before the season comes to an end, now is the perfect time to enjoy these fresh, juicy favourites while they're at their peak.
Here are a few summer fruits worth adding to your shopping list before they're gone.
1. Mangoes
Summer and mangoes go hand in hand. Whether you're a fan of Alphonso, Himsagar or another variety, few fruits are as closely associated with summer. It's a fruit many people wait all year for, making it a must-have while the season lasts.
2. Watermelon
When temperatures soar, few things are as refreshing as a chilled slice of watermelon. Light, juicy and packed with water, it's the perfect companion for hot summer afternoons.
3. Lychees
Sweet, juicy and available for only a short time each year, lychees are one of summer's most anticipated arrivals. Their brief season makes them a fruit worth enjoying while you can.
4. Pineapple
With its distinctive sweet-tangy flavour, pineapple brings a refreshing change from the season's sweeter fruits. It's a vibrant addition to summer and a great way to enjoy something a little different while it's in season.
5. Sun Melon
Cool, refreshing and naturally juicy, Sun Melon has long been a summer favourite. Its mild sweetness and seasonal availability make it one of those fruits that's best enjoyed while the warmer months are still around.
Summer fruits are one of the highlights of the season, but they won't be around forever. So before the season ends, make the most of these fresh favourites and enjoy them while they're at their best.
