Add quality South Australian Truss tomatoes to your shopping list this week. To maximize flavour, store tomatoes at room temperature until they ripen to a rich red colour.
Apricots are a sweet and tangy treat right now. Choose ones with a golden-orange hue, avoiding any that feel overly firm or have green patches. Store them in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate if ripe to extend freshness. These beauties are perfect for snacking, baking into tarts, or making a simple apricot compote for breakfast or desserts.
Flavoursome new-season plums from the North Coast are here, offering yellow and red-fleshed varieties. Choose firm plums that yield slightly to gentle pressure, and store at room temperature until ripe. Enjoy the fresh, sliced into salads, or poached for a delightful dessert.
Mild-tasting zucchinis are this week’s bargain, with prices dropping as supplies come in from several growing regions. Look for firm, smooth-skinned zucchinis, and store them in the fridge for up to a week.
Although asparagus is past its peak season, it’s still available and ideal for light, spring-inspired dishes. Prices are rising, so choose spears with tightly closed tips and vibrant colour. Enjoy it steamed, grilled, or added to pasta or salads for a touch of elegance.
Quick to cook, versatile, and packed with nutrients, Asian leafy greens are a fantastic addition to your meals this week. Add them to stir-fries, soups, or salads for flavour and health benefits.
