‘Tons of mangoes’ are also coming through, with more stone fruit on the way towards the end of the month
Golden mangoes and juicy strawberries are to be relished this month, with the warmer weather bringing on the fruits, says Michael Hsu, operational manager at Sydney’s Panetta Mercato.
An unexpectedly early start to the strawberry growing season in Victoria has yielded a “glut”, Hsu says. Dean Lamb, owner of Watts Fresh in Kyneton, Victoria, says they are “really good” quality for early fruit. Depending on the size of the strawberries, punnets are between $2 and $4.99 at Watts Fresh. At Perth’s Spudshed they’re $3.99 a punnet.
