Dave's Market Update - 17.01.17

Fresh Aussie Fruit - Dave's Market Update 17.01.17

IN FRUIT
Another great fruit week coming up. Tassie cherries are fantastic with some of the best varieties starting this week. My pick of the week is Aussie limes and I just can’t imagine why anyone would want to buy an imported expensive lemon when these Aussie limes are at their best, particularly this week look at the imperfect pick limes. Rockmelons, especially the larger sizes are a great flavour and good buying. Plums are good value, the black ambers particularly, but for me a little more money to buy an Amber Jewel is worth the effort. Honeygolds are the best mango this week and again our imperfect Honeygolds represent incredible value. Papaya and blueberries are both plentiful as is seedless watermelon. Grapes are in a bit of a gap as Queensland supplies dry up and the southern fruit is not ready yet. This rarely happens, it is far more common for the two areas to overlap leading to cheap prices but not this year. Best eating fruit for me this week is yellow peaches. They are great.

IN VEGETABLE
As was the case last week there are not a lot of vegetables available. The good news is that Lebanese cucumbers are very good value, there is lots of baby fennel, imperfect eggplants are fantastic and cheap, and beans are far better quality than last week. This week those fantastic snake beans are well underway and butternut remains really good value. Most vegetables are not really dear but not cheap either.
