Aug 25 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.

Ruby Red Grapefruit

Say hello to the Ruby Red Grapefruit!

This stunning citrus is one of the most popular red grapefruit varieties — and it’s easy to see why. Its vibrant ruby colour comes from lycopene, a powerful antioxidant, and it’s packed with vitamins C and A to help keep your immune system strong. 💪✨

Unlike traditional grapefruit, the Ruby Red is naturally sweeter with less bitterness — plus, it’s seedless, which makes it super easy to enjoy.

Perfect on its own for a fresh, low-calorie start to your day, or sliced into salads for a burst of colour, sweetness, and zing! 🌈🥗

Spinach

No wonder Popeye loved his spinach! 🌱 This leafy green is a true superfood, packed with essential nutrients and antioxidants that make it a must-have in any healthy diet.

Spinach is loaded with vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid, iron, calcium, and plenty of fibre to support digestion and overall wellbeing. 🙌 Best of all, it’s incredibly versatile — toss it into salads, blend it into smoothies, stir it into soups, or add it to frittatas and curries. However, you enjoy it, spinach is one of the easiest (and tastiest) ways to give your meals a powerful nutrient boost! 🥗🥤🍳

KP Mango

These Aussie favourites are bursting with juicy sweetness, making them one of the most loved mango varieties in the country. More than just a fruit, KP Mangoes are a true sign that the warmer months are on their way — sunshine in every bite!

Versatile and delicious, KP Mangoes can be enjoyed in so many ways:

👉 Slice them up for a refreshing snack.

👉 Toss them into vibrant salads for a pop of colour and flavour.

👉 Blend them into smoothies for a tropical boost.

👉 Or add them to desserts for that perfect summer finish.

Whether you’re topping up your fruit bowl, planning a picnic, or adding a splash of sweetness to family dinners, KP Mangoes are the ultimate way to bring a taste of summer into your week. So next time you’re writing your shopping list, make sure KP Mangoes are right at the top — you won’t want to miss out on this seasonal favourite! 🛒🙌
