Nutrition | An Apple A Day

An apple a day keeps the doctor away... 

We may long for the mangoes and peaches that we have enjoyed all summer, but during winter, there are so many other fruit and veggies to enjoy. Eating produce that is in season is the way to go – not only does fresh produce taste better, but the nutrient quality is better due to being picked in season when ripe (as opposed to picked early and stored in cool rooms), and it is more likely to be produced locally, reducing ‘food mileage’ and supporting our local farmers. 

During the winter months, apples, oranges, mandarins, grapefruit, bananas and pears, as well as spinach, potatoes, cauliflower, cabbage and beetroot are all great seasonal choices. Try fruit fresh, stewed on your porridge, or have a glass of freshly squeezed juice to get your day going. As for the veggies, roast root vegetables, sauté your spinach & cabbage, and be creative with big pots of soup.
