Dave's Market Update
In Veg
"We a have couple of excellent vegetable specials this week. We have an excellent line of brushed Dutch cream potatoes, freshly dug at a bargain price. Great cooking potato, excellent value.
As well our NSW stores have fantastic cup mushrooms, again superb quality, also a bargain. Other attractive vegetable lines are Iceberg lettuce, brussels sprouts and shallots. Broccoli, which jumped in price at the end of last week and into this week looks though it will be back in price this weekend."
In Fruit
"Lots of things happening in the citrus category. Our imported citrus season is over and local Valencias are fast coming to an end, so we now have the first of our Aussie navels in store. They look a bit pale, however I am juicing them at home every day and they are making a very good juice. Our fresh orange juice sold in store is still made from Vals as the navel juice deteriorates very quickly whereas Vals keep well for 5 to 7 days. Also, in this citrus category we have some of the later mandarins underway now, the Daisy variety are particularly good eating this week. Also, lemons are really plentiful and cheap.
