Thanks to its unique microclimate and exceptional soil conditions, Australia's hot, dry summers contribute to the growth of sweeter, juicier, and more aromatic summer fruits. Simultaneously, its convenient location near Asia minimizes transportation costs and time, facilitating better access to regional markets; and helps ensure the highest quality preservation, retaining the delicious flavor from farm to consumer.
The Australian Summer Fruits industry, specializing in stone fruits (soft-fleshed fruits with hard seeds), is committed to providing premium quality fruit, adhering to the strictest quality standards while employing innovative and environmentally friendly farming methods. This means ensuring the product is stored at a temperature of 0°C - 2°C throughout the entire process from harvest, gradually increasing the storage temperature to the optimal level of 8°C - 25°C for natural ripening until it reaches consumers in Vietnam, thus preserving freshness, ripeness, and the best possible quality.
Besides eating them fresh, you can get creative with dishes made from Australian peaches and nectarines.
Australian summer fruits currently available in the Vietnamese market include two main types: peaches and nectarines. Australian peaches are recognizable by their smooth, velvety skin, usually yellow and red, or red and white. The flesh of the peach ranges from white to deep orange, depending on the variety, but is generally grouped into white or yellow varieties. Ripe peaches have a naturally sweet aroma and can be identified by gently pressing the flesh. Both Australian peaches and nectarines can be classified into two main types: pitted (flesh separates from the pit) or attached (flesh adheres to the pit). Additionally, nectarines, also known as 'nectar of the gods', have smooth yellow, orange, or red skin and juicy white or yellow flesh. Yellow nectarines can be sweet and tart, while white nectarines have a mild sweetness when the flesh is firm and crisp. Nectarines have a natural aroma and are very sweet and delicious when ripe. Generally, as Australian summer fruits ripen, the flesh becomes softer and juicier, and the characteristic aroma with subtle sweetness becomes more pronounced over time.

For health-conscious consumers, Australian summer fruits are the perfect combination. They are a natural superfood, have a low glycemic index (GI), and are suitable as a low-calorie snack. The low GI helps replenish energy and satisfy cravings in a healthy way, keeping you feeling full longer. Australian summer fruits not only taste great but also offer potential health benefits, including improved digestive health, heart health, a stronger immune system, and improved allergy symptoms thanks to their adequate potassium content, high levels of natural antioxidants, and essential vitamins (A, C & E), minerals, and fiber. Additionally, they support better iron absorption, aid in healthy weight loss, and enhance skin health for those who regularly consume Australian summer fruits.
