Your guide to autumn fruit and vegies
As the leaves change colour and the air turns crisp, autumn brings us delicious fruit and veg that have ripened over the summer and are at their best to enjoy. Including fruit and vegies in our daily diet is one of the most important things we can do to improve our long-term health. They are packed full of fibre, vitamins and minerals that are essential for our bodies to grow, develop and function properly.
Choosing local and seasonal produce has the added benefits of being less expensive than imported fruit and vegies, supports Australian farmers and the economy, tastes better and is more nutritious.
