STRAWBERRIES

South Australian picked strawberries are now in season! Fresh from the Adelaide Hills our growers are picking some large sweet fruit this week. It will still be a few weeks before we are flushed with locally grown, but the start of the season looks promising and tasty!

COS LETTUCE

For a fresh twist on your salads or sandwich fillings this week, consider adding some locally grown Cos Lettuce from South Australia. Known for its firm, crunchy texture and distinct, slightly peppery taste, it’s the perfect addition to brighten up your meals. Whether you choose the larger heads or the more delicate baby varieties, it’s a refreshing choice that won’t disappoint.

CHERRY TOMATOES

If you’re a fan of adding a touch of sweetness to your salads, keep an eye out for fresh, locally grown cherry tomatoes this week. While all types of tomatoes are hitting their stride for summer, these little gems we spotted in the market’s growers shed this morning really caught our eye. Enjoy them as a snack, toss them into your salad, or mix them into your pasta for a burst of flavour!

WALNUTS

Walnuts from the Riverland are now in season, offering their distinctive, rich flavor and satisfying crunch. These versatile nuts are perfect for adding to salads, baked treats, or desserts. Beyond their delicious taste, walnuts are packed with nutrition, boasting a wealth of healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They’re especially high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are known for supporting heart health and boosting brain function.
