Ingredient Spotlights

One ingredient a month, picked for what it does to a photograph as much as a plate.

• 

  Blood Orange

  winter (AU) / summer (US) — High in vitamin C and anthocyanins — the pigment behind the color.

• 

  Purple Cabbage

  autumn (AU) / spring (US) — Same family as broccoli, with more anthocyanins and a longer fridge life.

• 

  Heirloom Tomato

  summer (AU) / winter (US) — Higher in lycopene than a standard round tomato of the same weight.

• 

  Yellow Peach

  summer (AU) / winter (US) — Mostly water and fibre — a genuinely light dessert stand-in, skin on.

• 

  English Peas

  spring (AU) / fall (US) — A rare vegetable that pairs real fibre with real protein, gram for gram.
