1. Strawberries

Sweet, juicy, and full of flavor, strawberries are at their best in the spring. Whether tossed in a salad or used in desserts, they bring a natural sweetness to any dish.

2. Asparagus

Nothing says spring like asparagus. With its tender stalks and mild, slightly nutty flavor, asparagus works well in everything from pasta to eggs.

3. Peas

Spring peas make everything better! We love tossing them into pasta and rice dishes for a pop of color and a hint of sweetness.

4. Spring Onions

Milder and sweeter than regular onions, spring onions add a fresh flavor without being overpowering.

5. Fingerling Potatoes

These small, waxy potatoes are creamy and buttery, perfect for roasting, smashing, or adding to salads.

6. Carrots

Spring carrots are extra sweet and tender, making them perfect for roasting, glazing, or eating raw.
