Eating in season means you're more likely to be eating Australian-grown produce, which is greener and healthier (not as many preservative sprays used/cold storage/synthetic ripening etc). Even better would be to buy locally grown, spray free produce (check your local area for road-side or farm-based stores - they're more likely to have quality, spray-free produce). And even better would be to buy locally grown, organic produce, but in our case at least, cash is an issue.
I thought it might be helpful to provide a list each month of the fruit and veges that are currently in season (in Australia).
Admittedly, I'm really not very good at cooking by season - it's hard enough figuring out what to cook as it is - but I'm really trying to make the best use of seasonal fruit and veges as possible. I've got a delicious, comforting, sweet and yum dessert recipe I'll post a bit later on, that might help you out when looking for in-season options this winter.Fruit
