Winter is a flourish with fresh fruits and vegetables. Australia’s highly regarded Navel Oranges  are in abundance and add a zesty punch of vitamin C. Also coming into season are mandarins, tangerines, tangelos and grapefruit varieties. Warm up with roasted sweet potatoes or be spoilt for choice with the range of winter greens now available (perfect for winter time broths and soups).

Buying fresh seasonal produce not only tastes better – But it’s also better for you

Nothing can beat locally grown, fresh seasonal produce. Not only does in-season produce taste better and last longer, it’s also more likely to have a higher nutritional value than produce grown out of season. Look out for the following in-season lines that will start to become available at your nearest supermarket or fresh fruiterer.
