bargain du jour
This time of year fresh local produce is still in its wintry doldrums. But the best buy at the moment is blood oranges. Sure regular navels are ridiculously cheap right now (I snatched some conventionally grown ones for the SE’s morning juice for just under $1 a kilo) but these marbled organic beauties were still a bargain at a mere $3.50/kg.
Even sweeter – they were cheaper than all of their conventional counterparts; one stall was even asking a whopping $5.99/kg.
They are pretty, tangy and have an edgy name. Best cut into quarters and sucked straight off the rind, as an after dinner palate cleanser.
Further more, their juice on the board makes great Rorschach tests.
I see a demented woman who’s well and truly over winter, what about you?
