Or, five minutes of conversation with a farmer, any farmer, or your sous chef friend who grows his own…herbs.
Epicurious didn’t really need to slap us with a map of the country and it’s month-to-month produce barometer, as this whole system we have of scanning prices and frequenting farmer’s markets has done us right. Most of us know when to buy a peach, what it should smell, look, and taste like, and after a few rounds of bad choices, you almost have a degree in fruit-picking. Or you could simpy join a CSA farm share.
Pennsylvania’s June guide is woefully fruitless, however, with asparagus, lettuce, and summer squash rounding out the season’s stars. Lettuce, you ask? Isn’t that one leafy green that should always be good to go? It turns out that lettuce is even better in the summer. So you can stop drowning that stuff in Annie’s Natural Cucumber Yogurt Dressing.
