Each Summer seems to have it’s own fruit super star. Sometimes it’s Cherries, other summers it’s Figs, and some summers it’s Apricots, Peaches, Plums & Nectarines!
The Starring Fruit is whatever I find the most of, that looks and tastes the best, that’s hopefully also on sale.
This summer I thought it was going to be Cherries, then Figs, but they haven’t been as plentiful in the stores as I hoped, and also without the sale prices I’ve been dreaming of.
So this summer the new stars emerged….Mangos & Jackfruit!
Plentiful, incredibly sweet and juicy and on sale. Perfect!
I’ve been absolutely loving these Kent Mangos in fruit salads and by themselves. We decided to be brave and buy 2 whole Jackfruit ourselves and learned how to cut them open!
It’s easier than you think with a little preparation and now we’re obsessed with them 🙂
Besides one of the sweetest and most fabulous flavors ever, Jackfruit is very filling and so nutritious! A few bites and I’m usually full. Not that I stop at a few bites though! But if you had better will power, you could.
Which fruit is your Summer Super Star?
