Citrus

Conveniently storming into season, just when we need a good Vitamin C boost, local citrus loves the winter-time.

Starting with Mandarins, a perennial lunchbox favourite. While the humble “Imperial” variety is a usual pick for most, we would encourage you to branch out. There are all sorts of new and alternative varieties emerging over the season, with different flavours and different characteristics. Some are super sweet, some more tangy. Some have seeds, and some are seedless. Some are big and juicy, others are more compact and perfect for on-the-go. Ask our staff for a recommendation.

Oranges are of course one of the main events. Starting with the local Navel orange season, with the best stock coming from Mildura and across the Riverland. We also get fabulous Blood oranges, and super sweet Cara Cara Ruby oranges. And not to be forgotten, the all-too-short Seville orange season usually occurs towards the back-end of the winter, so keep and eye out jam-makers.
