What's fresh this summer? A guide to seasonal produce at Rosewood Market.

Summer is one of the best times of year to shop local produce. Farmers markets and grocery shelves are bursting with colorful fruits and vegetables at their peak flavor, making it easier than ever to eat seasonally.

At Rosewood Market, we're celebrating the abundance of summer produce with fresh ingredients that are perfect for grilling, meal prepping, entertaining, and everyday wellness.

Watermelon

Nothing says summer quite like watermelon. Made up of more than 90% water, it's a refreshing way to stay hydrated during South Carolina's hottest months. Enjoy it sliced, blended into smoothies, tossed into salads, or paired with fresh mint and feta.

Tomatoes

Summer tomatoes are in a league of their own. Whether you're making sandwiches, salads, salsa, or pasta dishes, locally grown tomatoes offer unbeatable flavor and nutrition. They're also a great source of vitamin C and lycopene, an antioxidant that supports overall health.

Peaches

Sweet, juicy, and packed with flavor, peaches are a summer staple. Enjoy them fresh, grilled, blended into smoothies, or baked into seasonal desserts. Peaches provide vitamins A and C along with fiber to support digestive health.

Berries

Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries are loaded with antioxidants and make an easy addition to yogurt, oatmeal, salads, or smoothies. Stock up while they're in season and freeze extras for later.

Zucchini + Summer Squash

Versatile and easy to prepare, zucchini and yellow squash can be grilled, roasted, spiralized, or added to stir-fries. They're rich in nutrients while remaining light enough for warm-weather meals.

Cucumbers

Cool, crisp, and hydrating, cucumbers are ideal for salads, infused water, and healthy snacks. Their high water content makes them especially appealing during the summer months.

Bell Peppers

Colorful bell peppers add crunch, flavor, and vitamin C to any meal. Slice them for snacking, toss them into salads, or throw them on the grill alongside your favorite proteins.

Choosing seasonal produce isn't just good for your taste buds—it often means fresher ingredients, better flavor, and support for local growers. Next time you're shopping at Rosewood Market, take a look around the produce department and discover what's at its peak this summer.
