July 28 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.

Yellow Tomatoes

Have you spotted these golden gems at your local fruit & veg shop? Yellow tomatoes are in season now — and they’re as sweet and mellow as they are beautiful! 🌞

With their lower acidity and vibrant colour, they’re perfect for brightening up everything from fresh salads and bruschetta to pastas and platters. Whether you’re slicing, roasting, or snacking straight from the punnet, these tomatoes are a delicious twist on a classic favourite.

🎯 Grown locally and picked at peak ripeness, now’s the time to enjoy them while they’re at their freshest!

🛒 Find them at your local independent greengrocer this week.

Baby Spinach

Baby spinach is in season all year round — and here’s your friendly reminder to keep enjoying it! 🥬
If you’re not a fan of the stronger, bitter flavour of mature spinach, baby spinach might be your go-to! It’s milder, slightly sweeter, and incredibly versatile — perfect for tossing into salads, smoothies, stir-fries, or sandwiches.
Packed with iron and known to support gut health, it’s also a natural immune booster — just what we need as flu season approaches!

Add a handful to your plate this week and enjoy the fresh, nutritious benefits of this leafy green favourite. 🌿💪

Blood Oranges

These striking citrus gems are known for their deep reddish-purple flesh and bold, tangy-sweet flavour — with hints of berry in every bite! Their vibrant colour comes from anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that also bring a nutritional punch.

Pictured here are the Red Beloved blood oranges — beautifully seedless (yes, seedless!) and bursting with juicy goodness. 🍊❤️

Packed with vitamin C, blood oranges make a refreshing and healthy snack on their own, or shine in juices, salads, desserts, and even homemade marmalade.

Keep an eye out for these seasonal stunners at your local fruit and veg shop — they won’t be around forever!

Heirloom Tomatoes

You’ll often spot clefts, curves, and scarring on these tomatoes — a natural marking known as catfacing. While it may look unusual, it’s completely safe to eat and usually caused by cool temperatures during pollination. Heirloom tomatoes come in an incredible range of colours — from red, pink, orange, yellow, and green to deep purples, nearly black, and even beautifully streaked or striped varieties! 🌈🍅
Known for their thin, tender skin and rich, juicy flesh, they’re a flavour-packed choice for a classic tomato salad with mozzarella, basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Simple, stunning, and utterly delicious.
