"South Africa is not only a stunning country, it also produces some the most of beautiful fruit. Juicy, sweet and delicious, they make perfect ingredients for bringing some sunshine into my cooking during the winter."Sophie Michell, television chef and author

All of us are conscious about getting our 5 portions of fruit and veg a day but fitting this into a busy routine is not always as simple as it sounds. Of course, it is really easy to grab a South African apple, for example, out of the fruit bowl to snack on during the day, but why stop there? South African fruit is so versatile and they make great additions to both sweet and savoury dishes. Why not try the South African fruit challenge and include a different South African fruit in each meal of the day?
