IN FRUIT
There is plenty of opportunities in fruit this week, with the highlights being bananas, seedless melon, strawberries, rockmelons, blueberries, raspberries, imperfect Packham pears, imperfect Corella pears and tangelos. Volumes of bananas shows no signs of easing. Bananas are eating especially well, look for plenty of great opportunities over the coming weeks. For something a little different this week try a tangelo. A tangelo is a cross between a mandarin and a grapefruit. It is a smooth skin, easy peel fruit which is packed full of juice. Quality and taste are both exceptional this week. There is also a plethora of good eating strawberries and blueberries available.
This week sees a well-supplied market across a wide variety of vegetables. Highlights include broccoli, cauliflower, broccolini, red capsicum, green capsicum, all cucumbers varieties, peas, onions, eggplant, beans, Brussels sprouts, basil, squash and gourmet tomatoes. The best option in tomatoes this week are gourmet tomatoes. From Bowen in Far North Queensland the season is well and truly in full swing and the quality doesn’t get any better.
