Spring is finally here! Embrace the blossoming season with this produce guide, aimed to help you make the most of September’s in-season fruits and vegetables.

Tangy citrus fruits are in abundance this month, including lemons, blood and navel oranges, mandarins and tangelos. Strawberries are also in season this September, so add a punnet or two to your shopping basket!

Green is the colour when it comes to in-season vegetables. Leafy and stemmed greens like asparagus, spinach, leeks, green beans and more, plus chillies, cauliflower and mushrooms are the vegetables to look out for the next time you’re shopping.

Although the heat hasn’t reached summer-like temperatures, the warmer weather calls for fresh spring salads, lighter dinners and tangy or berry-ful desserts.

Here’s what is in-season in Australia this September.
