It’s all over red (and yellow, and pink) rover for stone fruit. The mangoes have made their final curtain call, and nectarines are ghosting us like a dodgy Tinder date. But don’t worry lovebirds—we're zipping into citrus season and there’s plenty to get juicy over.
🥭 Jaeger’s Top Picks This Week
Let’s get your fruit bowl flirting with the seasons:
Passionfruit – Now's the time to get passionate. Once Easter hits, these wrinkly wonders get snatched up faster than hot cross buns at a church bake sale. Get in before the prices rise like the Lord himself.
Pears – Nashi – The cool, crunchy cousin of the common pear. A refreshing slap in the face—in the best way.
Papple – Half apple, half pear, all sass. It's the fruit equivalent of a mullet: business on the outside, party in your mouth.
Pineapple – Cut it, cube it, or soak it in rum—no judgment here. Sweet as.
Pomegranate – Nature’s little rubies. Pop 'em on salads, yoghurts, or just straight into your gob.
Plums – Sienna Rose & Crimson Blush – Their swan song is playing. One last seductive dance before they're gone. Get amongst it.
