It may be hot as blazes outside, but there's a cool, colorful oasis of delights awaiting you at your favorite grocery store. Hold on. The grocery store? That's right, you heard it here first. This time of year, the produce department is positively bursting with colors and aromas announcing the arrival of the bounty of the season. As you enter the "garden," the light scent of strawberries greets you. Then comes the heady aroma of ripe peaches and nectarines, followed by sweet watermelon and cantaloupe. And don't miss out on the intoxicating smell of sweet corn, bell peppers, and fresh herbs. Open your eyes to the rainbow of colors -- red radishes, purple cabbage, orange carrots, and a huge variety of green "greens." How can you possibly leave the produce section without a cart overflowing with goodness? This time of year, you can't, it's as simple as that. So feast your eyes, follow your nose, and treat your taste buds to something new every time you visit.
Don't miss:
Orange broccoli
Purple cauliflower
Multi-colored mini bell peppers
Purple fingerling potatoes
Heirloom tomatoes
Individual size watermelon
Green, red, and purple grapes
The list goes on!
