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.

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

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