This month marks the start of summer! This is especially evident in the amount of fruit that is in season in the Netherlands in June. While only two types of fruit were in season in May, in June there are no less than ten. So plenty of choice for a tasty fruit salad or refreshing smoothie. June also has some new seasonal vegetables in store for you. In this article, we list June's seasonal fruit and vegetables for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Enjoy seasonal fruit from the Netherlands in June<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Crisp for the seasonal produce<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While in previous months vegetables were mainly available from Dutch soil; this month many different types of fruit are also growing in the Netherlands. Delicious summer fruits such as berries, raspberries, apricots, nectarines and peaches are in season this month. Enjoy them extra, as there are only a few months when many different types of fruit can grow on Dutch soil or in unheated greenhouses in the Netherlands. I have looked up the best ideas for using and storing June's seasonal fruit for you, so you can make the most of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, when we took the photos for this article at the end of May, not all seasonal fruits and vegetables from the list were available yet. Therefore, the photos also show some produce from Europe. We suspect this also has to do with the cold weather this spring. Hopefully, these products will be on sale from the Netherlands soon, as they normally grow here!<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of seasonal fruit and vegetables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Supermarkets are full of fruit and vegetables. Why bother to pay attention to which fruit or vegetables are currently in season in the Netherlands? For one thing, it is better for the environment. Fruit or vegetables that have a longer transport route or are grown in heated greenhouses generally have a greater environmental impact. But did you also know that seasonal fruit and vegetables are better for your health? Because the transport route is shorter, the fruits or vegetables are riper before they are harvested. As a result, fewer nutrients are lost. Seasonal fruits and vegetables also contain more nutrients because they are stored for less time. Moreover, fewer pesticides are often used as they are less susceptible to diseases. Finally, it is usually a lot cheaper to buy seasonal fruit and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fruit or vegetables from the Netherlands are not always the most sustainable choice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you are convinced of the benefits of seasonal fruits and vegetables, you can pay attention to them when you go shopping. Because the country of origin is indicated on the packaging, you may choose to buy fruit or vegetables from the Netherlands. Unfortunately, this is not always the most sustainable choice. This is because you cannot tell in the supermarket whether the fruit or vegetable was grown in a heated greenhouse. For example, a head of lettuce from the Netherlands may be the most sustainable choice in July; while in January the head of lettuce from Spain is more sustainable because it grows in the open air. Pretty confusing isn't it? To make it easier for you, we have figured out for you which fruits and vegetables grow in full Dutch soil or in unheated greenhouses in the Netherlands. For June, these are the following fruits and vegetables:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
