Fruit & vegetables currently in season
Posted by kathryn in Vegetables and Fruit
September is one of those months in Sydney where fruit and vegie choices contract. Winter produce is drying up, while the spring fruit and veg just isn’t quite ready. Spring is definitely on its way, as I’ve spotted the first new season asparagus in a couple of shops! It’s pricey but looks beautiful. As the weather warms up more produce will become available.

I bought some new season Australian asparagus from Paddy’s Market a week ago – delicious and cheap
How lovely, I don’t get to Paddy’s very often and asparagus is still a bit exy at my local shops.
hello Kathryn, I discovered your site whilst looking for a year round ‘whats in season for produce’search however I thought that you might be able to give me some info on my own situation regarding dietry practices.
As a nutricionalist you will most likely be horrified with my practices but due to the fact that I recently had a lap band installed (2 yrs ago) and now have a hernia leading to constant intergestion burn and reflux I tend to be living on milk as the main stay of my intake. I eat very little solid food at all now as I need to throw it back up again when I do try. Yes… I do chew it up very well and I do eat only small quantities but it seems that the consumption of solid food is becoming more and more difficult every week.I have a full time job which is quite physical and I do seem to be coping at present but….. I am a realist and know that I can not function like this for much longer without some long term conseqence. Any guidence that you might feel like imparting would be gratefully accepted. PS I used to be 150kg and am now 73kg and still loosing. Thanks and cheers Sherry
Oh I forgot, that job I have is working in a fruit and veg department and that is why I was searching for products seasonal information
cheers
Sherry thanks so much for your comments and reading Limes & Lycopene. I’d strongly recommend you re-visit your doctor and get a referral to see a nutritionist. They will be able to help you with food suggestions, ways of maximising your nutrient intake and strategies for dealing with your situation. Milk is not a bad food, but you’re right that it’s not a good diet long-term. Seek some professional help.
