April 14 In Season at the SA Produce Market

Buying and eating in season produce is good for your nutrition and helps the economy, our seasonal updates are here to lend a hand.

Let us inspire you with just a few of the fresh, locally grown produce now in season at the South Australia Produce Market that you will find at your local fruit and veg store.

Gold Kiwi Fruit

While kiwi fruit don’t grow locally here in South Australia, we’re thrilled to bring you a fresh batch of gold variety kiwi fruits straight from their home in New Zealand. These golden beauties are a real treat — naturally sweeter with a tropical twist that sets them apart from your everyday green kiwis.

Not only do they taste amazing, but they also have a smooth, less fuzzy skin and are loaded with even more vitamin C, making them a perfect healthy snack as we head into the cooler months.

They’re in peak condition and available now — but only for a limited time! Be sure to pick some up this week and enjoy the vibrant taste of sunshine in every bite. 💛

Cauliflower

Cauliflower is currently in plentiful supply, making it the perfect time to enjoy this incredibly versatile veggie. Whether you’re tossing it into a hearty curry, roasting it to golden perfection, or slow cooking it into comforting meals, cauliflower is a kitchen all-rounder that delivers. Thanks to high-quality local crops, our cauliflowers are not only delicious but also super affordable — a great addition to your weekly shop without stretching the budget. As the weather cools down, there’s no better time to incorporate this low-fat, high-nutrition vegetable into your autumn cooking. Looking to switch things up? Try cauliflower mash! It’s a tasty low-carb alternative to potatoes. Just steam and mash your cauliflower with a splash of olive oil, a bit of garlic, salt, and pepper — then sit back and let your tastebuds be pleasantly surprised.

Bravo Apples

Bravo apples are truly a feast for the senses. With their vibrant, deep burgundy skin, they stand out in any fruit bowl or display. Bite into one and you’ll enjoy a perfectly balanced sweet flavour, paired with a satisfying crispness and moderate crunch that’s sure to delight.

These apples aren’t just about looks and taste — they’re also packed with flavonoids, making them a smart choice for your health. And here’s a standout feature: unlike most apples, Bravo’s creamy-white flesh is incredibly slow to brown. That means they’re ideal for adding to grazing boards, cheese platters, or lunchboxes without losing their fresh appearance. Medium in size and excellent for storage, they make a convenient and healthy snack for the whole family. Keep an eye out for these striking “burgundy beauties” at your local fruit and veg shop — they’re as versatile as they are delicious!

Spring Onions

Locally grown spring onions are in great supply at the markets this week, so it’s the perfect time to enjoy their mild, slightly sweet flavour. With a much mellower taste than regular onions, they’re ideal for quick cooking or even no cooking at all — making them a go-to garnish for salads, stir-fries, soups, and more.

One of the easiest and tastiest ways to use spring onions? Mix them with grated cheese and mayonnaise for a classic sandwich filling that’s full of flavour and crunch.

And don’t toss those green tops! Both the crisp white bulb and the lush green stalks are entirely edible and packed with goodness. They add a fresh pop of flavour and colour to your dishes. To keep them fresher for longer, pop your spring onions in the fridge — either wrapped in a damp paper towel or placed upright in a glass of water.
These handy all-rounders are a staple in the kitchen, so stock up while they’re in season!
