Stone fruit season has commenced in Perth, Western Australia and while we are still getting some from other states, we are at the beginning of the start of our wonderful season for those beloved stone fruit that so many of us like.

By picking your own, as you do with strawberries you will, of course, get the best fruit and to the ripeness that you require for whatever you are making with the fruit - if anything!

Stone fruits are also known as drupes and are fruits that have a pit and hence the word, stone fruit in their name. They are enveloped around with a fleshy outer area. Stone fruits are generally low in calories, with about an average of just 70
calories per cup of chopped fruit making them a good snack for anyone who is worried about weight. They also contain less than one gram of fat and are full of essential vitamins and minerals.

In general, they are a healthy food or snack for anyone to eat as long as you do not eat too many, which I know is very easy to do!
