AUSTRALIA’S BEST Highlighting the finest seasonal fruit and vegetables from Australia, the ‘Now! In Season’ horticulture campaign was recently launched across Spinneys and Waitrose stores, to see premium quality produce retail in the outlets. The new initiative is aimed at promoting Australian fresh fruits and vegetables at their peak quality and availability. So this month, you know where to head for your juicy grapes and summer stone fruits such as plums, nectarines, apricots and peaches. From April to June, go for the pears, and from May to July, apples are the top pick. Citrus fruits such as oranges are available from August to October, while Australian vegetables are available throughout the year due to national production.
