Courgette
Courgettes reach their peak between June and September, when British harvests provide the firmest texture and most delicate flavor. While winter imports from warmer climates ensure year-round availability, they often lack the sweetness of the summer crop. Low in calories, they are a reliable source of vitamin C and potassium.
