Market Update
 
Fruit
 
Last updated: Sunday, 5th September, 2010.

All produce we source is Australian grown unless otherwise indicated. We only buy imported produce when there is no available Australian substitute. We never buy imported Oranges or Grapes. Any imported products are labelled on the website.

Apples - We are buying an excellent Victorian brand of Pink Ladys at the moment - crisp, juicy and a beautiful flavour. Galas and Braeburns have come to the end of their run - so are no longer available. Sundowners are excellent value and quality. Granny Smiths are excellent.

Avocados - Hass variety is excellent quality.

Bananas - Excellent quality and value.

Berries - QLD strawberries are coming towards the end of their season. Western Australian strawberries are now in season and their quality is excellent.

Grapes - Out of season - any grapes available now are imported from the USA.

Kiwifruit - Fruit is coming out New Zealand - sensational eating and great value - best time of year for Kiwifruit.

Lemons and Limes - Their price is slightly above average - still excellent quality.

Mandarines - Imperials have finished. We are buying the Empress variety - which is a type of low-seeded Murcott.

Oranges - Navels are coming towards the end of the season - quality still very good. Tangelos have finished.

Passionfruit - Excellent quality right now, reasonable value.

Pears - Packams and Corellas are in season - delicious in taste and texture.

Pineapples - Excellent quality - the best time of year for sweet, topless Pineapples - although only a few weeks to go in their season.

Rockmelons - New season fruit from the Ord River region is entering the Market - quality and price will improve over the coming weeks.

Watermelon (seedless) - Quality is excellent - value is reasonable.
 
Vegetables
 
The high market prices for any vegetables over the last couple of weeks have improved.

Cucumbers and Sweetcorn remain scarce and expensive.

Broccolli, Cauliflower, Beans, Snowpeas, Carrots, Potatoes and Lettuces are excellent value and quality this week.
