Your spring fruit & veggies guide

LUTHO PASIYA

SPRING has sprung! And that means it’s time to adjust your menus to add some lovely spring produce and introduce new flavours to your plate with some of the freshest and most flavoursome fruits and vegetables.

As the days are getting longer and temperatures rising, the spring season is always very exciting as most of your favourite spring fruit and veggies have started to show up in supermarkets and this time, it’s not the more expensive imported food. A bonus is that some of

the winter produce is still available too. So adjust your shopping trolley accordingly and embrace seasonal shopping; it’s good for both your wellbeing and your bank account. Spring is September-October-November. As the season progresses, there will be more of these fruits and vegetables available in stores. Remember, fruits and vegetables taste so much healthier when picked fresh and produce is cheaper and richer than out-of-season ingredients.
