Winter is grinding on but generally fruit and veg supply has been pretty good.
- This week however we have seen a few lines shorten in supply forcing prices up. Beans, broccoli, broccolini, Tuscan Kale have all seen slight price rises.
- Jap and butternut pumpkin have jumped in price as supply of old season Victorian stock have dried up. Grey pumpkin however still represents great value.
- Still there is plenty of great value veg lines available at the moment.
- Large Zucchini, small sweet potatoes and curly Kale are all great value at the moment and you will find them stacked high and well signed when you enter the shop.
- Brussel sprouts have been the unsung hero being well priced and great quality. If you like Brussel sprouts have you tried Kalettes? Kalettes are a cross between Kale and Brussel sprouts and they are delicious roasted or pan fried!
- Citrus lines are super abundant and great value, make sure you try the Dekapon Mandarins (Sumo) and the Dolce black skinned navel oranges. Also, just a reminder to get in and get your Seville oranges if you haven’t made your marmalade. Sevilles will finish up in about a week.
- Apples and pears are also great quality and excellent value. Why not try something new like our Cosmic Crisp apples or sweet Honey Pears (Winter Nellis).
- Watch our socials for great specials throughout the week.
Cheers, Dean
