Jan 13 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.
Summerlove Apples
What an appropriate name for a beautiful apple. Summerlove apples have a tart taste initially, much like a Granny Smith, but then have a sweet aftertaste similar to a Pink Lady. The new season of these delicious apples have arrived this week but beware they only have a very short season of approximately 3-4 weeks…… yes weeks. These apples have a wonderful crisp, crunch with a white flesh and shiny red skin which is aesthetically pleasing. If you would like to tantalise your taste buds with Summerlove, be sure to look out for these beauties at your local fruit and veg store but be quick as they won’t be around for long!
Cherries

Whether you enjoy them fresh, in pies, or as a topping for your favourite desserts, cherries add a burst of flavour and color to any dish. These vibrant red gems are also rich in antioxidants and vitamins, making them a healthy snack choice. Keep your Summer festivities going, these cherries are waiting for you at your local fruit & veg shop!
