Go Organic Tonight

Choosing organic food means better tasting food and avoiding nasty pesticides, additives and residues. It also supports organic farming, which means:

  • healthier soils
  • less contamination of our air, waterways and wildlife
  • a more sustainable future for our planet.

Supporting Australian farmers

Coles supports Australian farmers who are investing in organic farming. You'll Love Coles Organic™ essentials such as meat, milk and eggs are sourced from Australian farms and we are continually increasing the level of Australian-made organic food across the entire range.

Sensational spring continues with...

Asparagus

High in potassium and low in sodium, asparagus is a great diuretic. It's also rich in folic acid, which helps keep arteries healthy. Steam lightly to lock in the flavour.

Capsicum

A fruit masquerading as a vegetable, capsicums are high in vitamins A and C. Add their zesty crunch to spring salads or try roasting until meltingly sweet.

Cherry tomatoes

These little red beauties contain lycopene, which neutralises nasty free radicals. Sweet, acidic and juicy all at once, A salad just isn't a salad without them.

Fresh herbs

Add zing to your spring cooking with tasty fresh herbs, such as basil and potassium-rich parsley. Best added towards the end of cooking or as a garnish.

Mangoes

Lusciously sweet fleshed, mangoes are a great source of fibre and potassium. Our Aussie mangoes are available from late September and at their peak in October.

Pineapples

Underneath that spiky exterior is a tangy heart of juice-laden flesh. It contains bromelain - an anti-inflammatory that can aid joint problems.

Sugar snap peas

True to their name, sugar snap peas are sweet and crunchy. Packed with protein and folate, they're best eaten raw or very lightly cooked - pods and all!

Watermelon

A refreshing snack any time of the day, watermelon is 92% water and natural sugars. The redder the flesh, the better it is for you. Once cut, store in the fridge.
