Why July Matters for Your Plate and Your Body

Seasonal eating isn’t just tradition—it’s smart. You get food that’s fresher, richer in nutrients, and better aligned with what your body actually craves in the heat: hydration, lightness, and vibrant color.

Glow-Up Foods: What’s in Season in July

Here’s what’s peaking this month—and why it matters.

• Tomatoes – Rich in lycopene, great for heart health and glowing skin.
• Corn – Naturally sweet, high in fiber, and excellent grilled or tossed in salads.
• Zucchini & Summer Squash – Low-calorie, high in hydration and vitamin C.
• Cucumbers – Cooling and anti-inflammatory, perfect raw or infused in water.
• Blueberries – High in antioxidants, brain-boosting, and easy to freeze.
• Peaches – Full of vitamins A and C, plus they make any meal feel like a treat.

Every item above shows up in July’s Harvest Glow or Orchard Glow box, harvested and packed within 72 hours of harvest. It’s not just produce—it’s peak-season nutrition you can taste and feel.

How to Eat: Fresh, Fast, and Flavorful

You don’t need fancy techniques or 10-step recipes in July. The food does the work. Here’s how to let it shine:

• Raw & Ready: Slice cucumbers and tomatoes for a simple salad. Add fresh herbs and a splash of vinegar.
• Grilled & Glowing: Toss corn and squash with olive oil and sea salt, then throw them on the grill.
• Sweet & Simple: Chill your peaches and blueberries for dessert—or freeze them for smoothies.

Less cooking, more living.
