What’s In Season
What’s In Season
FRUIT
APPLES & PEARS: New season Galas, Sassy and Granny Smith apples are in. Williams and Clapp’s pears are also arriving and eating beautifully.
MANGOES: We’re nearing the end of mango season. Honey Golds aren’t the cheapest right now, but they’re still tasting fantastic - savour them while you can.
TROPICAL FRUIT: Watermelons are great value and eating well. Sapo melons are available, and Mini Lees are in store and proving very popular.
CHERRIES: Late season cherries are still around and holding up well.
GRAPES: Australian grapes continue to impress. Thompson Seedless are our pick this week, and Candy Crunch has some very loyal fans.
CITRUS: Lemons are better value this week. Finger limes are available, and limes are particularly juicy and full of flavour.
BERRIES: Berries are starting to look forward to the cooler weather. Raspberries are decent value this week, while blueberries aren’t quite at their best.
STONEFRUIT: We’re in the final stretch for stonefruit. Peaches are past their peak, but plums are a standout late-summer choice. Yellow nectarines are just past their best but still eating well.
EXOTIC: Prickly pear and Australian mangosteen are in, along with the first of the autumn exotics - Australian pomegranates, nashi pears and custard apples have started to arrive.
VEGETABLES
TOMATOES: All varieties are looking good this week. Heirlooms are still eating beautifully.
ASPARAGUS: Imported only now, as the Australian season has wrapped up.
AVOCADO: Hass avocados are eating well - great texture and flavour.
GOOD VALUE / RECOMMENDED: Carrots, green capsicum, cauliflower and corn are all great value this week.
FLOWERS: Cooler weather is much kinder to cut flowers. Lovely natives are around at the moment - long-lasting banksias and proteas - and freesias are having a particularly good run.
