McMahon’s Fruit and Veg

This is one of our favourite stalls at the Adelaide Central Market. Not only do they offer a wide selection of fresh quality fruit and vegetables, they also offer taste samples, and good information on their products.

For example today we tasted their sample pieces of fig. It was absolutely delicious, and naturally we bought some. We then asked what variety of fig we were eating. The manager gave us some more samples and a run down on the type of fig which was a White Adriatic Fig. 

Doing a bit of reserach I see this is a very popular fig in USA as well as in Australia. It is notable for its green exterior, very red interior and sweet flavour.
