Eureka lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C to strengthen the immune system while reducing inflammation. The fruits also provide potassium to balance fluid levels within the body, fibre to regulate the digestive tract, calcium, and phosphorus to protect bones and teeth, and other nutrients including zinc, copper, magnesium, B vitamins, iron and folate.

Eureka Lemons

Eureka lemon originated in 1858 in California from selections made from imported seeds from Sicily and is now the most widely grown lemon variety in Australia.

Eureka lemons are in season from June to September and are available for purchase all year round. They are best stored in the fridge or a cool dry area.

Characterised by medium to thin skin, with greenish-yellow flesh, and high juice and acid levels, Eureka lemons range from seedless to five seeds per fruit.

 

Afourer Mandarins

Afourer mandarins, often referred to as "Moroccan clementines," are a popular citrus fruit known for their exceptional sweetness and easy-to-peel skin.

These popular mandarins originate from Morocco and have vibrant orange skin encasing easy-to-peel segments that are low in seed and filled with sweet juice with an intense honey mandarin flavour.

Packed with vitamin C for enhanced immunity, mandarins are also a source of fibre to regulate the digestive tract, vitamin A to maintain healthy organ functioning, and calcium to build strong bones and teeth.

Afourer mandarins are in season from July to October and are best stored in the fridge or a cool dry area.
