Aug 18 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.

Asparagus

Fresh, locally grown asparagus has just arrived at the market — and it’s as delicious as it is nutritious. Packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, asparagus is known for its many health benefits (yes… even that quirky side effect we all know about! 😉).

When cooked well — roasted, grilled, steamed or sautéed — asparagus develops a sweet, earthy flavour with that perfect tender-crisp bite. Try it simply with garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper for an easy, tasty addition to any meal.
Support local, eat fresh, and get creative with asparagus this season! 💚

Broccoli

South Australian broccoli is back in abundance, and it’s looking fresher than ever! 🥦 Whether you love it steamed, tossed in a stir-fry, roasted until crispy, or shaved raw into a salad, this versatile veg never disappoints.
Packed with antioxidants and nutrients while being low in calories, broccoli is a simple (and tasty) way to give your immunity a boost this winter. 🥗✨

Support local growers and grab a bunch of fresh SA broccoli on your next shop — your body (and your tastebuds) will thank you!

Mashing Potatoes

As the chilly nights of winter continue, we all turn to hearty, soul-warming meals — and creamy mashed potato is always a favourite side. There’s nothing quite like a big spoonful of fluffy, buttery mash to complete your dinner plate.
Mitolo Family Farms make it simple with their convenient 1.5kg bags of mashing potatoes, easy to spot in their bright orange bags. Grown with care, these potatoes cook down beautifully to create a smooth, velvety mash that pairs perfectly with roasts, casseroles, or any winter warmer meal.

Not only are they delicious, but they’re also packed with nutritional benefits, providing lasting energy and keeping you feeling full and satisfied.

Tangello

Supplies of South Australian–grown citrus are thriving at the markets this week, and tangelos are a real standout. A unique hybrid of a tangerine and a pomelo (an ancestral grapefruit variety), tangelos bring together the best of both fruits.

Their flavour is the perfect balance of tart and sweet, with a refreshing medium acidity that makes them a delight to eat fresh. Plus, with their easy-to-peel skin and minimal seeds, tangelos are a fuss-free snack — perfect for popping into kids’ lunch boxes or enjoying on the go.

Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, tangelos are as nutritious as they are delicious. Be sure to grab a bag of these seasonal gems next time you’re shopping at your local fruit and veg store! 🌟
