August is a produce heavy month! It's high summer and a riot of flavor and color when it comes to fruit and veggies. Here's what's in season in the month of August.
One important thing to note is that seasonality of produce is different between states, countries, and regions. This is primarily a seasonal guide for North America, although there will be overlap with other countries and places in the Northern hemisphere.
