FAQ
How can I make recipes with these vegetables more creative?
You can grill them, make them stuffed, bake them with aromatic herbs, or blend them to create pestos, cold creams, or light sauces. Salads can also become a main dish: just combine raw and cooked vegetables, some legumes, perhaps some dried or fresh fruit (like apricots or peaches), and you’re done.
Are there quick recipes with seasonal vegetables?
One of the joys of summer is that vegetables are so good they require very little cooking, or even none at all. An example? A sauté of zucchini and cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and basil, ready in 10 minutes. Or a cold cucumber and mint cream to blend in a snap.
How can I best store July vegetables?
To keep them fresh as long as possible, the refrigerator is obviously a good ally, but beware: not all vegetables should be stored the same way. Tomatoes, for example, prefer to stay out of the fridge, in a cool, dry place. Zucchini, green beans, and Swiss chard, on the other hand, keep well in the vegetable drawer.
Why is it important to use seasonal vegetables in July?
Choosing seasonal vegetables means respecting the rhythms of nature, enjoying foods at their peak freshness and flavor, and making a more sustainable choice for the planet. In July, summer is at its most bountiful: zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, green beans, Swiss chard, and salads are just some of the wonders found at markets. These vegetables are not only tastier but also richer in nutrients because they are harvested at the right point of ripeness.
