CHERRIES

South Australian grown cherries are well and truly here at the South Australian Produce Market, signaling the approach of Christmas. At the 2024 cherry auction held on Friday, 22 November, Donna Mercurio was crowned Cherry Queen. These premium cherries are now available, offering a sweet taste of the festive season.

BABY SPINACH

If you find regular spinach a bit too bitter, baby spinach is your go to! Offering a milder, sweeter flavor. Packed with nutrients, it’s an excellent choice for supporting your immune system as flu season approaches. Additionally, it’s a rich source of iron and can help promote digestive health.

BABY CUCUMBERS

Known for their crisp texture and subtly sweet flavour, these cucumbers are a versatile snack. Their compact size makes them ideal for dipping, adding to salads, or packing in lunchboxes. They’re a popular choice for platters and dips due to their crunch and convenience. Rich in vitamin C, fibre, and folate, look for cucumbers that are firm and free from blemishes to get the full health benefits.

TRUSS TOMATOES

Truss tomatoes are the perfect choice for a rich, flavourful taste. With their vibrant red colour. For the best experience, keep them at room temperature—avoid refrigerating them, and enjoy their full flavor when paired with fresh basil, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, goat cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil.
