Dave's Market Update
In FRUIT
“The most exciting news this week is the big drop in Mandarins. These new season Imperial mandos from QLD are around half last week’s price and now eating well.
Lemons which are a staple for Easter are really well supplied, inexpensive and of course a necessity for the Easter seafood meals.
Chestnuts have come back in price, try them for an Easter. Imperfect Fuyu are plentiful and fantastic eating grapes abound. The new season Kiwi Gold are delicious and not expensive.
For avocados, I think stick with the Shepards at this stage. There are quite a few Hass now in the market, they are still a bit immature and I don’t think you will enjoy eating them."

Not a lot happening on this front. We do have very good line of 1 kg prepack small, washed potatoes that are great value. Telegraph cucumbers are the best cucumber option. Most vegetables are a similar price to last week.”

Dave's Pick of the Week - Imperial Mandarins
“It has been an early start to the Queensland Imperial Mandarin season. The crop this year looks to be particularly good. The first mandarins of the year are the Imperial variety from Central Queensland around the Gayndah district.
