Essential Benefits of Eating Healthy Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables in Australia

By including regular healthy portions of fresh Australian seasonal fruits and vegetables in your daily diet, you will benefit from significant increases in your intake of all the essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. When you consume these active and empowering nutrients on a daily basis, your body will be more energised, with greater strength, flexibility and endurance. At the same time, you will enjoy greater mental focus and clarity. 

If you live in Sydney and surrounding regions, you can get vital nutrients from eating strawberries in spring, summer and autumn and enjoy flavourful mandarins, melons, kiwifruit and apricots during all seasons of the year. Residents of Melbourne can get fresh berries of varied types in spring and summer, figs in summer or autumn and grapefruit and bananas throughout the entire year. If your home is in Brisbane, you can enjoy meals and snacks that include blueberries during spring, summer and autumn and breadfruit in autumn and winter. You can also enjoy eating fresh dates and dragonfruit throughout all seasons of the year.

Other advantages of including fresh seasonal Australian produce in your daily diet include the following:

• Supplying Nutritional Needs. – Your body needs greater supplies of different nutrients during different seasons of the year. When you eat citrus fruits, berries, tomatoes, potatoes, broccoli and spinach during autumn and winter months, you will stay healthier during cold, stormy weather due to the high content of Vitamins C, E and A. Your body will be prepared to resist colds, flu, sore throats and fever, and you will enjoy better energy levels and avoid fatigue. Summertime fruits like plums, apricots or peaches and vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes and squash are high in beta-carotenes and other carotenoids, safeguarding you from sun damage while providing natural sugars for summer energy.   

• Eliminating Contaminates. – Fresh fruits and vegetables that are shipped to your location from other countries may be contaminated with pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Different countries have differing regulations for use of these contaminates in growing produce. Also, some countries do not require regular testing of soil quality in agricultural areas. Toxic metals and other harmful substances may be present in farmland soil and water supplies. Some countries also allow fresh produce to be sprayed with preservative agents before transport to distant markets.    

• Supporting Eco-Friendly Eating Habits. – By choosing to eat seasonal fruits and vegetables that are native to or easily cultivated in your own locale, you are helping to decrease the demand for importing fresh produce. While supporting local farmers and produce distributors, you are also helping to reduce the need and cost of importing, refrigerating, hot house operations and use of preservatives on fresh foods before transport.   

When you supply your stores and markets with fresh, healthy produce from Fruitique Wholesale located in Alexandria, NSW, you will provide your merchants and their customers with only top quality, freshly harvested Australian fruits and vegetables. Our experts will assist you in selecting top-tier fresh seasonal produce to enhance the health and lifestyles of shoppers countrywide while you contribute to the global movement for nurturing pure foods and the natural environment. 

Some fresh fruit enthusiasts think that purées and frozen fruits are tasty, cool and refreshing, but lack the full nutritional value of fresh fruits for meals and snacks. Most natural foods nutritionists agree that freezing can alter the nutritional contents of fruits somewhat. However, sometimes these changes caused by freezing can actually increase the health effects of the nutrients found in fruits.

For example, frozen blueberries have been found to contain more Vitamin C than fresh blueberries. Since minerals such as iron and the fibre content in many fruits are extremely hearty, neither heating nor freezing will affect their nutritional values. Many nutrition experts advise eating as much fruit as possible, in any form that you prefer, since their studies have shown that there is very little difference in the overall nutrient counts of most fresh and frozen fruits.

Major Health Benefits of Purées and Frozen Fruits Consumed During Meals or as Snacks

Purées and frozen fruits eaten during a meal or enjoyed as between-meal snacks are refreshing and revitalising, especially during the hot, humid days of summer. Many people enjoy their favourite fruits served fresh from the freezer or as a smooth, delightful purée. Some interesting facts concerning the health benefits of purées and frozen fruits when consumed as part of your daily diet include the following:

• Frozen Berries Can Lose Nutrients. – Just as fresh berries do, frozen berries will deteriorate somewhat in nutritional content when stored in a freezer that is opened frequently for storing and removing foods. For this reason, it is best to freeze fruits in a deep freezer or at the back of your refrigerator freezer, away from the door. When buying frozen fruits, it is good to look for ones that have been frozen using an “individually quick frozen” (IQF) or similar process to ensure getting excellent quality fruit.      

• Purées and Frozen Fruits Contain Antioxidants. – Fresh, frozen and puréed fruits contain health-enhancing antioxidants that strengthen your immune system while protecting your body’s cells from free radical damage. Many nutritionists report that by including healthy amounts of frozen fruits and fruit purées in your daily diet, you will reduce your risk of developing such serious health conditions as high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack, diabetes, high cholesterol and loss of bone density.   

• Heating Purées Reduces Nutrients. – Fruit purées that are prepared in a blender or food processor and served cold, cool or at room temperature will retain their high nutritional counts. However, cooked or heated fruit purées will lose their natural levels of Vitamin C and fibre. Although hot vegetable purées are more common than fruit purées that are served heated, it is good to remember that if you do want to try a hot fruit purée, it will lack the nutritional content that it would offer if served unheated.

Storing fruits and vegetables properly to maintain their freshness longer is simple and fast. Different types of produce need different storage methods, which fall into three easy categories: freezing, refrigerating or storing at relatively cool room temperature in a dry place. In general, all preparations of fruits and veggies should be performed right before you plan to use them for meals. In other words, the less fuss, the better, until preparing your favorite salads or cooked dishes. It is always best to wait to wash or rinse the surfaces of most types of produce until you are ready to prepare them for serving. However, lettuce leaves and other greens are exceptions to this rule since they will last best when rinsed well before storing.        

Ideal Storage Methods to Keep Fruits and Vegetables from Losing Their Freshness

Recommended storage methods for maintaining the garden freshness of fruits and vegetables for a longer period of time include the following:

• Freezing. – Storing fresh fruits and vegetables in your home freezer is a convenient and easy method of preserving produce at its ideal maturity and height of nutritional value. Most fruits can be successfully stored by freezing, and the majority of veggies will save longer when frozen as well. However, most produce experts do not recommend freezing eggplant, lettuce, Belgian endive, potatoes (unless already mashed), sweet potatoes, sprouts, radishes or artichokes. If you happen to forget and freeze any of these items of produce, thaw and use them as soon as possible for best culinary results and enjoyment.

• Refrigerating. – Nearly all fruits and vegetables can be stored in your fridge. To keep apples fresh longer, be sure to refrigerate them since they will soften as much as ten times more rapidly when kept at room temperature. All types of fresh berries should be stored in the refrigerator. However, rhubarb can be kept in the fridge or freezer with good results. Asparagus needs to be refrigerated after wrapping in moist paper towel or pastry paper, and it will often stay fresher when you place the stalks in a glass of cold water. You can also protect the natural moisture and freshness of produce by storing these items in the crisper drawer of your fridge. 

• Storing at Room Temperature. – Such items of produce as bananas, lemons, limes, tomatoes and potatoes should be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place in your kitchen or adjoining pantry. Potatoes require very good ventilation for maintaining freshness. Both mushrooms and eggplant keep best when stored at cool room temperature, and eggplant should be used for meal preparation within a couple of days after you purchased it for optimal freshness.
