September is here, and with it comes the promise of warmer weather and a renewed sense of energy. As the season changes, so should your plate. It's the perfect time to "spring clean" your diet and fill your meals with fresh, vibrant food. At Tooronga Village, you'll find plenty of seasonal produce and high-quality ingredients to help you nourish your body from the inside out. Here’s your guide to making the most of the fresh food offerings this spring.
- Fresh produce from Scicluna's Real Food Merchants
Step into Scicluna's and you’ll find an impressive array of fruit and vegetables. The key to a healthy spring diet is to focus on what’s in season. Think asparagus, strawberries, broad beans, and artichokes. These are at their peak, meaning they're not only more flavourful but also packed with nutrients. Use them to create a vibrant salad, a simple roasted vegetable dish, or a fresh smoothie.
- Protein perfection from Cannings and Farm Fresh Free-Range Chicken
For a balanced meal, you need quality protein. Both Cannings and Farm Fresh Free-Range Chicken offer premium, ethically sourced options. Chicken is a lean and versatile protein, while a variety of other meats and seafood can provide a complete range of amino acids. A simple grilled chicken breast with a side of seasonal greens is a quick, delicious, and healthy weeknight dinner.
- Freshly baked delights from Bakers Delight and Woodfrog Bakery
A healthy meal plan doesn’t mean you have to skip the bread! Freshly baked loaves from Bakers Delight or Woodfrog Bakery can be a delicious source of carbohydrates. Pick wholegrain or sourdough options, which often provide more fibre and are easier to digest. Enjoy a slice of fresh bread with a drizzle of olive oil or as the base for an open-faced sandwich loaded with fresh spring vegetables. By focusing on fresh, whole foods from the amazing selection at Tooronga Village, you can easily create delicious, nourishing meals that align with the season. So, embrace the change, head to the village, and get cooking!
