Blood Oranges

Blood oranges are a unique citrus variety, known for their vibrant ruby-red flesh and sweet, tangy flavour with subtle berry notes. Their distinctive colour comes from anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants, while their high vitamin C content makes them a delicious and nutritious seasonal choice. They are perfect for enjoying fresh or adding to juices, salads, desserts and marmalade, blood oranges are a versatile winter favourite. For a delicious way to enjoy them, try Madeleines with Blood Orange Syrup & Mascarpone by Callum Hann which was a crowd favourite at the Citrus Season Launch at the Adelaide Central Market.

Eggplant

 

Eggplants are a great addition to any meal this winter. While often used as a meat alternative in plant-based dishes, they’re a delicious option for everyone. Although commonly thought of as a vegetable, eggplants are technically a fruit because they grow from a flowering plant and contain seeds. Rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals, eggplants may help support heart health, blood sugar control and weight management. They can be enjoyed roasted, grilled, stuffed, baked or added to pasta dishes. Pick up this nutritious and seasonal favourite at your local fruit and vegetable store.

Packed with vitamins A and C, fibre and potassium, they’re a low-calorie, nutrient-rich choice. Plus, their vibrant mix of colours provides a wider range of beneficial plant pigments and antioxidants than red tomatoes alone.

Did you know that Pink Lady apples were created by cross-pollinating Lady Williams and Golden Delicious apples, resulting in their signature crunch and flavour.

They’re ideal for lunchboxes, on-the-go snacking or a quick pick-me-up throughout the day. Look out for Pink Lady Mini Apples at your local fruit and vegetable store.
