Seasonal superfoods you’ll find at Rosewood Market this summer

Fresh, flavorful, and full of nutrients. Summer in South Carolina brings long days, warm sunshine, and a bounty of seasonal produce that’s as nourishing as it is delicious. At Rosewood Market, we believe eating with the seasons is one of the easiest (and tastiest) ways to support your health naturally.

Here are a few of our favorite summer superfoods you’ll find in-store right now — along with simple ideas for enjoying them.

Watermelon

Hydrating and packed with antioxidants like lycopene and vitamin C, watermelon is a summer staple for a reason. It supports skin health, digestion, and recovery after time in the sun.

Try it: Enjoy it cold with a squeeze of lime, blend it into a refreshing smoothie, or cube and freeze it for DIY popsicles.

Peaches

Few things say “summer” quite like a perfectly ripe South Carolina peach. These juicy fruits are rich in vitamin C, potassium, and gut-friendly fiber.

Try it: Slice over yogurt, grill and drizzle with honey, or freeze for smoothies and mocktails.

Blueberries

These small but mighty berries are rich in fiber, vitamin K, and brain-boosting antioxidants. They’re great for your heart, gut, and cognition.

Try it: Toss them on your morning oats, pair with coconut yogurt, or snack by the handful.

Local Tomatoes

In-season tomatoes are a completely different experience—juicy, vibrant, and full of flavor. They’re high in vitamin C, potassium, and lycopene (especially when cooked!).

Try it: Slice into a Caprese salad, roast with garlic and olive oil, or blend into a quick fresh salsa.

Sweet Corn

Fresh-picked corn is rich in fiber and beneficial plant compounds like lutein and zeaxanthin—great for eye health and digestion.

Try it: Grill it, toss it in a summer salad, or blend it into a chilled corn soup.

Cucumbers

With high water content and a refreshing crunch, cucumbers help you stay cool and hydrated. They’re also rich in vitamin K and anti-inflammatory compounds.

Try it: Slice into salads, add to spa water, or use as a dipper for hummus.

Pantry Bonus: Black Beans & Quinoa

Not just produce—some pantry staples are summer heroes too. Quinoa is a complete protein, and black beans are full of fiber and minerals. Together, they make the perfect base for a nourishing summer bowl.

Try it: Build a colorful grain bowl with tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, and a squeeze of lemon.
