June’s best: What’s fresh and in-season at Famous Foods

There’s something so satisfying about the taste of early summer produce like crisp lettuce, juicy local strawberries and the earthiness of new potatoes. At Famous Foods, we’re so proud to offer a wide selection of fresh, in-season produce that’s organic, local and packed with flavour.

Did you know that strawberries are the star of this month? These bright red berries are at their best in June and make for the perfect addition to breakfast bowls, smoothies or a simple dessert with a little cream. We source our strawberries from trusted local farms at our health foods store, so you get that just-picked taste every time.

Radishes are another early summer classic, offering a crisp bite and a peppery punch that pairs deliciously with salads or as a snack with hummus. Slice them thin for a nice crunch in sandwiches or toss them with a little olive oil and sea salt for a quick pickle. Their vibrant colour adds a touch of flair to any plate, plus they’re packed with antioxidants and fibre. You’ll find plenty of fresh radishes ready to brighten up your meal at our grocery store in Vancouver.

If you’re craving leafy greens, you can’t go wrong with our organic lettuces and spinach, ideal for light summer meals and packed with vitamins and minerals. They’re so easy to toss into wraps, sandwiches or even grain bowls, and they make for a great base for colourful salads topped with some seasonal veggies, nuts or your favourite protein. Whether you’re meal prepping for the week or throwing together a quick lunch, greens like these are a must-have in any kitchen.

New potatoes are also making their seasonal entrance. Their delicate skins and creamy texture really shine in potato salads, roasts or simple boiled dishes with herbs and olive oil. Plus, don’t miss out on local rhubarb, asparagus and snap peas, all delicious signs that warmer weather is coming.

As a long-standing grocery store in Vancouver, we take pride in connecting our community to high-quality, organic ingredients that not only support local growers but healthy living. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or the one in charge of weeknight meals, our shelves are stocked with the best nature has to offer this time of year.
