Nothing beats the sweet aroma of fresh strawberries. With supplies increasing you'll find strawberries at a better price. For the best flavour and longer freshness, wash strawberries just before eating and hull (remove the stalk) afterwards.
Citrus season is still going strong and the flavour is fantastic. Enjoy the rich raspberry-red flesh and sweet taste of blood oranges while they last, premium-quality Navel and Cara Cara.
Australian apples are plentiful and delivering fresh, crunchy bites full of natural sweetness. Varieties like Pink Lady, Jazz, Kanzi, Fuji, Bravo, Granny Smith and Royal Gala bring a delicious mix of sweet and tart flavours to your favourite recipes
Luscious early-season Kensington Pride mangoes from the Northern Territory have arrived. If your mangoes are still firm, let them ripen at room temperature until the flesh near the stem gives slightly to gentle pressure.
Mandarins are a good buy this week. Look out for Dekopon mandarins. They are large mandarins, resemble a large tangelo in shape; with a thick, wrinkly rind, this fruit is easy to peel, seedless and ultra-flavoursome and juicy. Developed in Japan in the 1970s, they are a hybrid of Kiyomi (a cross between a satsuma and an orange) and Ponkan. Dekopons are grown in the Riverland of South Australia, the NSW Riverina and Sunraysia.
Don’t miss out on the last of the season’s quince—they’re nearly gone. Enjoy them roasted with cinnamon and vanilla.
