What's in season?

We support the movement towards buying fruit and vegetables that are in season locally - it's usually cheaper when in season, being in season locally means fewer food miles and if it's grown and picked when it's supposed to be then the flavour and quality is usually better too, plus you're supporting local farmers and remaining proudly SA. This chart from Natural Nutrition is a useful resource to know what's in season when. In April, I'm looking forward to buying Jerusalem artichokes, Fuji apples, avocados and pomegranates.

I have yet to master cooking artichokes but I will be trying this recipe from Jamie Oliver for sauteed Jerusalam artichokes with garlic and bay leaves, as soon as I spot some in the local greengrocer.
