January 5 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.

Rockmelon

Nothing says summer like melons – and it is great to see the supply of Riverland grown Rockmelons on the market floor making their way to local fruit and veg stores across Adelaide. Like most fruits, rockmelon has high water content, at almost 90% which means it is a great fruit to eat to help you keep hydrated throughout summer.

Strawberries

There are some amazing looking large, red, sweet South Australian grown strawberries stocking the shelves of your local fruit and veg store this week. Add them to fruit salads, include them on your cheese platter or just grab a punnet to eat on the go.

Plums

There is nothing better than a delicious, full flavoured plum with a crisp and tangy skin. Right now you’ll fund the best plums that SA has to offer. These are a prefect replacement for other stone fruit varieties that are wrapping up their SA season.

Apricots

It is South Australian stone fruit season and you will now find apricots in your local fruit and veg store. Apricots are a great source of many antioxidants, including beta carotene and vitamins A, C, and E. Apricots are also very low in sugar – they have less sugar than berries making them a great choice when you’re looking to switch up your fruit routine, while still snacking on something tasty and healthy.
