In Season – September

Once upon a time I did a weekly seasonal update highlighting a fruit or vegetable that represented outstanding value for money and the very best of local produce. Rather than do this every week, I’m hoping to start on a once a month project. What follows is a list of fruit, vegetables, even seafood and types of meat that represents outstanding value for money. Quite simply, there’s a lot of it around at this time of year.

Likewise, if you attempt to grow vegetables in a garden of your own, these are the sorts of produce that should be thriving right about now. If you are in colder climates in the south of the country, some items will take another couple of weeks to reach your markets, so look out for them.

If you are looking for suitable recipes for some of these items, type in the ingredient in the search box to the right of this post. Up will come all the recipes for that ingredient, as well as any items that have been featured in Best Buys. (Ignore them, unless you want to compare prices.)
