June Produce Guide [2024]

It's time for the June produce guide, because summer is definitely upon us in Seattle. As always, this guide is just for fruits and vegetables that reach peak season in June.

Arugula

Arugula or rocket has a peppery taste, and makes for a great, soft but crunchy salad green (and grows great in the shade).

Basil

 I've listed some great ideas for using fresh basil below. Oh, if you're looking for a quick handy basil substitute guide, I got you on that too.

Green Beans

Green beans are in season since it's officially summer. I just planted a few varieties of bush beans in my backyard!

Herbs

Chives, oregano, mint, nettles, garlic scapes and fiddleheads are all in season. Here are some great ways to cook up these other herbs.

Mango

Did you know that India has more than 1500 varieties of mango? You can either pick up some good Mexican mangoes or go to the Indian store and get mangoes there!

Mushrooms

Oyster mushroom season is just about to end. So, make sure to grab them while you can!

Peas & Shoots

They're so sweet and delicious and a great sweet complement to more hearty vegetables like potatoes and carrots (like in my air-fryer samosa or kitchari)
