September 14 In Season at the SA Produce Market

There’s plenty of fresh South Australian produce moving through the SA Produce Market this week, with great local supply across a range of fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Here are four of our picks to look out for at your local independent fruit and veg store this week.

BOK CHOY

Fresh, crisp and full of goodness! Bok choy, also known as Chinese cabbage, is a popular Asian vegetable loved for its mild, slightly sweet flavour and tender, crunchy texture. Naturally low in calories and packed with nutrients including vitamins C and K, calcium and potassium, it’s a delicious and easy way to add extra goodness to your meals. Perfect for stir-fries, soups and noodle dishes, bok choy cooks quickly while keeping its satisfying crunch, making it a versatile favourite for any kitchen!

 

CARROTS

Grown all year round, this week we’re shining a spotlight on South Australian grown carrots! Naturally sweet, crunchy and packed with essential nutrients, carrots are a great source of vitamin A, supporting healthy vision, skin and immune function. They’re also incredibly versatile, so enjoy them fresh as a snack, roasted, steamed, blended into soups and smoothies, or added to your favourite sweet and savoury dishes. A simple, delicious and nutritious staple for every kitchen!

 

GRAFFITI EGGPLANT

Graffiti eggplants may stand out with their striking purple and white colouring, but they’re just as delicious and versatile as the traditional varieties. With their smaller, teardrop shape and tender texture, they’re perfect for adding a colourful twist to your favourite recipes. Roast, grill, bake or sauté them for a delicious addition to salads, curries, pasta dishes and more. A beautiful vegetable that looks as good as it tastes!

 

BABY SPINACH

Grown all year round, baby spinach is a fresh and delicious leafy green that deserves a spot on your plate! Its soft texture and mild, slightly sweet flavour make it a great alternative to regular spinach, especially if you prefer something less bitter. Naturally packed with essential nutrients, including iron and vitamins, baby spinach is an easy way to add more greens to your meals. Enjoy it fresh in salads, tossed through pasta and stir fries, added to wraps and sandwiches, or sprinkled over pizzas!
