Seasonal Food Guide

The government tells us that we should be eating 5 serves of veggies and 2 serves of fruit each day. Produce that is in season locally is cheaper, tastes better and has more nutrients. Fruits and veggies start to lose nutrients immediately after they are harvested, so the best produce is that which is the freshest.

Luckily the Seasonal Food Guide Australia website (seasonalfoodguide.com) can tell us when different fruit and veggies are in season. Buying locally grown produce not only supports your local farmers, it also guarantees you the freshest produce, which imported and interstate produce can't compete with.

For those of us living in NSW, now is the best time to eat cherries, mandarins, oranges, peaches, plums and strawberries.
