Strawberries
The arrival of summer means strawberries are back on the menu. Between the early crop available starting in mid-June and the autumn strawberries that grow until mid-October, this little fruit can be enjoyed in season for several weeks. To get the full flavour profile, choose berries that are bright red and firm. Strawberries are fragile, so handle them with care. They can easily be kept for 2 to 5 days in the refrigerator.
