Happy Seasonal Sunday!
This week, we’re spotlighting a hidden seasonal gem—Gooseberries! These tiny, jewel-like fruits are in season now through midsummer in the U.S. and bring a refreshing balance of tartness and subtle sweetness to your plant-based kitchen.
Why You’ll Love Them:
- Vitamin C–Rich: Great for skin + immunity
- Tart + Sweet: Like nature’s sour candy
- Antioxidant Powerhouse
- Juicy with a gentle crunch
How to Enjoy:
- Snack on them fresh (if you like tangy!)
- Add to oatmeal or chia pudding
- Cook into a compote for toast or yogurt
- Bake into pies and crumbles
- Infuse into sparkling water or mocktails
Where to Find Them:
Check out farmers’ markets, Whole Foods, Sprouts or online at Melissa’s Produce, Instacart and Farmbox Direct. Occasionally, you’ll find them at Costco or Trader Joe’s, depending on your location.
Gooseberries are only here for a short while—don’t miss their zesty charm while they last!
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
