Summer vegetables represent a vibrant array of produce harvested during the warmest months of the year. Common varieties include zucchini, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, and green beans, often used in Mediterranean, Asian, and American cuisines. These vegetables are celebrated for their versatility, appearing in everything from fresh salads to grilled sides and hearty stews. Nutritionally, they are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, which support immune health, digestion, and hydration. Their high water content makes them naturally refreshing during hot weather. Most summer vegetables are low in calories, fat, and sodium, making them an excellent choice for maintaining a balanced diet. However, preparation methods like frying or heavy sauces can add excess calories or saturated fats. Incorporating these seasonal delights into your summer meals is a delicious way to enhance both flavor and nutrition.
