If you’re living in Berkeley this summer, you’re probably buying groceries for yourself–even if you’re a co-oper. Take advantage of the great produce selection around you and buy the best ingredients for your meals. Buy what’s in the peak of its season, when the produce is fresh and at its natural best. The best part about it? It’s cheaper!
KQED has a nifty month-by-month guide to seasonal food that you can use all year round. What looks good for June? Feed your sweet tooth with berries and melons, and grace your summer salads with carrots, beets, lettuces and corn.
Berkeley Bowl has a jaw-dropping selection of produce (there’s a reason why first season “Top Chef” visited weekly), and Yasai Market on College Avenue is overflowing with fresh good stuff. You can also catch farmers’ markets on Saturdays at Center Street and MLK Jr. Way, or you can visit the all-organic market on Thursdays at Shattuck Avenue and Rose Street.
