Home Delivery: MONDAY TO SATURDAY
In summer, your body craves light, refreshing, and nutritious food. And this is precisely when nature gifts us an abundance of flavorful fruits and vegetables packed with vitamins and health benefits. At San Crispín, we make it easy to eat well with a wide selection of seasonal organic fruits, vegetables, and fresh products—mostly sourced from small Menorcan producers who work in harmony with the land and its natural rhythms.
1. Must-have local fruits this July
Watermelon and melon: sweet, hydrating, and rich in potassium—perfect for hot days. Enjoy them as is, in natural juices, or as refreshing desserts.
Peaches and nectarines: juicy and aromatic, ideal paired with yogurt, in salads, or on their own.
Apricots and plums: antioxidant-rich and easy to digest, great for mid-morning snacks or healthy breakfasts.
Figs (late July): a Menorcan classic, rich in fiber and iron, with a naturally sweet flavor. Delicious with cheese, nuts, or on coca pastries.
All our fruits arrive with minimal handling and without unnecessary packaging, ensuring freshness, quality, and respect for the environment. And with figs as the seasonal star, you can prepare one of Menorca’s most emblematic summer dishes: oliaigua with figs. This simple and tasty recipe blends tomato, pepper, onion, garlic, olive oil, and water, served over stale bread and topped with fresh figs. It’s a rustic, refreshing, and nutritious meal—ideal for the hottest days.
2. Vegetables and fresh produce for better eating
Summer vegetables don’t just complement your diet—they can be the main event in many fresh, light, and tasty dishes:
Aubergines and red peppers: great for escalivada, stuffed bakes, or grilled over the coals.
Zucchini and cucumber: hydrating and versatile—cucumber (raw or marinated) adds freshness to any salad, while zucchini works well in cold soups or quick stir-fries.
Ramellet tomatoes: authentic in flavor and essential in Menorcan cuisine. Ideal for gazpacho, salads, or pa amb oli (bread with tomato).
Spring onions and garlic: mild and aromatic, perfect for light sautés or combined with tomato and pepper in traditional dishes.
Lettuce, escarole, and arugula: paired with fruit, seeds, or soft cheese, they make complete salads rich in fiber and micronutrients.
Yogurts and brossats made with Menorcan milk: locally made and perfect with fruit, granola, or honey—great for breakfasts and snacks.
Tender local cheeses: rich in calcium and nutrients, with a creamy texture and mild taste. Enjoy them on their own, sliced, or as part of a meal.
With these ingredients, why not make a Menorcan-style gazpacho? Blend ripe tomato, red pepper, cucumber, spring onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, and a splash of wine vinegar. Chill it and serve with oil crackers or xeixa bread croutons. For extra nutrition, add chopped hard-boiled egg or shaved aged cheese.
You can also prepare natural fruit smoothies, legume salads with fresh veggies, or grilled vegetables seasoned with local herbs. These options are healthy, easy to prepare, and perfect for all ages.
