At Nourality, we embrace the healing rhythms of each season—and summer is the perfect time to support your nervous system, boost hydration, and glow from the inside out. One of the simplest, most delicious ways? Seasonal fruits.

Ripe summer fruits are nature’s hydration heroes—made up of about 80% water and rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. They energize the body, calm the nervous system, support respiratory health, and enhance skin radiance when eaten fresh.

Here are a few of our favorite fruits to savor this season:

Apricots

Naturally rich in potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, iron, and beta-carotene, apricots help regulate energy, stamina, and skin health. Choose firm, bright-orange fruits. Let unripe apricots ripen at room temperature for 1–2 days, then refrigerate to preserve freshness. Always rinse before eating.

Strawberries

These heart-shaped gems are packed with vitamin C, potassium, and iron—while being low in calories. Choose fragrant, deep-red berries. Store unwashed with stems intact and rinse gently just before eating. Strawberries can be frozen whole or sliced to enjoy year-round.

Raspberries

A fragile but powerful source of vitamin A, C, and fiber, raspberries support immune and gut health. Look for dry, firm berries and refrigerate them right away. Rinse just before serving.

Watermelon

Cooling and hydrating, watermelon is low in calories and high in vitamin C, potassium, and pectin. Choose a fruit that sounds hollow when tapped. Store whole in a cool place and wrap sliced watermelon in the fridge to enjoy within a day.

Cherries

Deep red cherries are rich in enzymes, vitamins, and minerals that support recovery and hormone balance. Look for firm, glossy fruits with fresh stems. Keep them chilled for peak flavor and rinse gently before eating.

Pineapples

A digestion-supportive powerhouse thanks to bromelain, pineapple is also rich in vitamin C and essential minerals. Choose dark golden-skinned fruit with a sweet aroma and fresh green leaves. Ripen at room temperature, then wrap and refrigerate.

Peaches

Loaded with beta-carotene, potassium, and a touch of vitamin C, peaches support heart and skin health. Opt for firm, fragrant fruit with vibrant color. Ripen at room temp, then refrigerate and enjoy within 5 days.
