The Australian summer brings forth a delectable array of fresh produce, tantalising taste buds with nature’s vibrant hues and rich flavours.
Here’s a closer look at five exquisite foods that take centre stage during this sun-kissed season:
- Mangoes: Mangoes, the crown jewel of Australian summers, are much-loved for their juicy, tropical sweetness. These golden orbs are not only delightful to eat on their own but also add a burst of flavour to salads, salsas, and desserts. High in vitamins A and C, mangoes are a nutritious delight, making them a staple fruit for the season.
- Berries: Summer offers us a wide assortment of sun-kissed berries – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. These small, colourful fruits are powerhouses of antioxidants and vitamins. Whether enjoyed fresh, in smoothies, on top of yogurt, or baked into pies, berries bring a delightful healthy sweetness to summer dishes.
- Stone fruits: Peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, and cherries, are the epitome of summer indulgence. Stone fruits are not only delicious but also rich in dietary fibre, vitamins, and minerals, making them a wholesome choice for the season. With their succulent flesh and aromatic sweetness, they are perfect for snacking or incorporating into salads and desserts.
- Watermelon: Watermelon, with its crisp, juicy flesh and high-water content, is the ultimate thirst quencher on a hot summer day. This iconic fruit is not only incredibly refreshing but also low in calories, making it a guilt-free treat. Its natural sweetness makes it a hit with all age groups. Enjoy it as a slice of fresh fruit or transform it into refreshing beverages and sorbets.
