Welcome to another What’s in Season blog, and this edition we have a special and exciting focus… cherries!
In this month's "What's in Season" spotlight, we turn our attention to a vegetable with one of the most distinctive shapes and characteristics in the plant kingdom, and one of the shortest growing seasons of the year: asparagus. At Market, our love for asparagus is undeniable. As it graces our stalls in spring, we can’t help but feel excited. With its incredible crunch and distinct flavour, asparagus proves itself as an exceptional addition to any dish.
As Canberra’s winter drifts away and the first signs of spring emerge, one of nature's sweetest offerings makes its way to Market - honey. Our honeybees are wiggling their wings and waking up after a long winter, quickly getting to work to gather pollen from all the beautiful new spring blooms. At Market, we have a variety of incredible local beekeepers like Isabella 1822 and Martin’s Honey producing delicious honey for you to enjoy.
Welcome to the vibrant world of oranges. As the last month of winter unfolds, the Market is brimming with a delightful variety of fresh in-season oranges from our amazing fruit producers.
We're truly fortunate to experience Christmas in the summer here in Australia, basking in the warmth of the sun. However, there's an undeniable charm to a snug, traditional winter Christmas that captures our hearts. Even with the frosty temperatures in July, it presents a wonderful opportunity to create amazing memories with a delightful Christmas in July gathering at home. Or you can just enjoy the comforting deliciousness of a roasted chestnut or two.
Pumpkins and potatoes are essential ingredients found in kitchens across the globe. Their reliable texture and incredible versatility, coupled with their abundant nutritional benefits, have made them incredibly popular choices for incorporating vegetables into meals effortlessly.
As the chilly breeze creeps into Canberra and the trees transform into beautiful hues of orange and brown, there's nothing quite like sinking your teeth into a juicy, luscious persimmon to uplift your spirits and warm you up from within. And lucky for you, our May What's in Season feature is all about this exotic fruit that is sure to invigorate your taste buds.
From the crisp crunch of a freshly picked sweet Gala, to the juicy tang of a Granny Smith, there's nothing quite like biting into a locally grown apple. Apples are a classic snack loved by all throughout history. Their perfect pocket-sized dimensions make them ideal for snacking on anywhere, as they can easily be taken with you anywhere you go.
Corn is the third largest plant-based food source in the world and grown on nearly all continents. Its light and sweet flavour make it a versatile and delicious option to a range of dishes. There are endless possibilities to enjoy corn, whether you prefer to BBQ, boil, or dry it to create your own homemade popcorn or ground flour.
