It’s heating up outside, and Publix has flavorful seasonal fruit to brighten up your table and keep you refreshed.

(Plum)tastic goodness

If you’re looking for a sweet, refreshing snack, pick up a bag of Verry Cherry Plums. This delicious fruit combines the flavor of a cherry with the ease of eating a plum. They won’t stick around forever, though. Their peak season runs from June through the end of July.

Return of the king

When you see King O’ The West in the store, you know it’s officially melon season.

• King O’ The West Honeydew: Known for its smooth, creamy flesh, it has a delicate honeylike flavor when fully ripe.
• King O’ The West Orangedew: A honeydew–cantaloupe hybrid, it combines the best of both worlds with a subtly sweet, cinnamon flavor beneath its yellow-orange rind.

Look for these melons in stores during their peak season, August through October.
