Seasonal Update

As the seasons shift in Melbourne, so does the best produce on offer at your favourite local shop in Ripponlea. Here’s your quick, easy guide to what’s tasting best, what’s great value, and what to skip in the coming weeks at Victoria Fruit Palace.

Fruit – Best Buys


Apples, pears, persimmons, quinces, and pomegranates are at their peak, with grapes in their final weeks. Citrus is starting to come in—mandarins ramping up, navels slowly appearing, and lemons and limes reliable as ever.

Skip: berries (pricey), stone fruit (finished), melons (declining).

Vegetables – What’s Good


Great value on pumpkin, sweet potato, carrots, potatoes, onions, and greens like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and spinach.

Limit: tomatoes, zucchini.
Caution: capsicum (rising prices), eggplant (dropping quality).
