Seasonal Fruits: June

June, it starts to get warmer, we sweat more, we are more thirsty and less hungry. Basically, our body’s needs change, so we recommend always choosing seasonal foods as a mainstay of our diet. Nature is wise and so are our bodies, so we believe that listening to both of them is the best thing a body can do to take care of its wellbeing.
