Market Update for Sunday 21 April 2024

By Brett,

In Vegetable and Salad lines:

  • Most Vegetable and Salad lines are good but prices are firm due to light supply.

The best seasonal vegetable and salad items are:

  • Pumpkin
  • Sweet Potato
  • Brushed (Dirty) Potatoes
  • Broccoli
  • Zucchini
  • Lebanese Cucumber
  • Avocados
  • Mushrooms
  • Baby Cos Lettuce
  • Salad Mix, Baby Spinach and Rocket

In Fruit,

  • Seedless Watermelon, Pineapples, Rockmelons and Honeydew melons are nice. We have stopped Papaya due to quality issues.
  • Valencia Oranges, Limes and Lemons are good. Imperial Mandarins and Ruby Grapefruit have started too. Navel Oranges will start soon.
  • New season Pink Lady, Gala, Jazz and Granny Smith Apples have started. Store apples covered in the fridge to keep them crisp.
  • Packham and Nashi Pears have started too. Williams Pears have finished.
  • Bananas are good.
  • Australian Red Seedless Grapes are very good. We have finished Green Grapes.
  • Australian Kiwifruit have started. NZ Kiwi Gold are available too.

  • Strawberries are good but expensive. Blueberries are unavailable.
  • Passionfruit are nice and we have added Pomegranate to our list too.
