This is the first Australian seasonal fruit and vegetable guide I have found which is wonderfully comprehensive and accurate. It goes into detail, adding varieties which are specific to the different seasons, for example it clarifies the right oranges, pears and apples to eat in the summer months - fruits which we otherwise simplistically classify as 'winter fruits'.
Based mainly around the Victorian geographical lines, it may not be relevant for northern Australians but for anyone below the Queensland border - this guide is for you.
Seasonal eating recognises the nutrient requirements necessary for the specific season, it supports a better farming system based on sustainable methods and local supply chains and it respects our mother earth and her intrinsic rhythms inspiring a spiritual connection to food which offers holistic benefit beyond nutritional needs.
Enjoy this guide, keeping it on hand to refer to periodically and in no time you'll be effortlessly eating in tune to the season.
