Market Report 4th June - 18th June 2013
Greetings the summer is well and truly here and we seem to be getting some good weather at last, which means lots of exciting produce for your pleasure.
Vegetables; So obviously we have been having a lot of problems with potatoes and as we all know that situation is not getting any better, do not despair there are now a few options. Jersey Royal New and Ware Potatoes have come down in price and the quality is lovely, so they are well worth considering as an alternative. Also we are now seeing the first of the Cornish New Potatoes arriving on the market at a similar price so you have choices. The supply of Cauliflower is short at the moment, which has meant a price increase. This is due to the end of the UK season, and short supply of new French and German. Also available, is lovely quality Wild Asparagus; it is well worth a try if you fancy something a little different from the usual Asparagus. Fresh Marrow is still available on the market, and is a perfectly refreshing treat for your summer menu. We are also seeing some beautiful quality UK Primo Cabbage available, so you could pop a bit of that with your jerseys and wild asparagus, and Fresh Borlotti beans are back on the market with their lovely vibrant colours. Finally great quality nutritious fresh Wheat Grass and also Fresh Wet Almonds are back in season but the supply is rather short so give us 24 hours notice.
Wild asparagus grows on cliffs and sand dunes and has a more bitter taste than the cultivated vegetable. |

This week Best Buys include: UK Med Aspargus, Courgette, Spring Green, Parsnips, P/P Spinach, Jersey Mids/Wares.
Moving onto Fruits; Any regular readers of the market report will know how excited I am about the next piece of news... Those little slices of heaven known as Flat Peaches are back!! They are still a little pricey as they are new, but expect the price to go down and the quality to improve over the next few weeks. The price of Limes has gone down, which is good news for all you cocktail lovers out there. Sticking with cocktails, we are seeing the first of the UK Mint on the market, that should start to increase in quantity over the coming weeks. Thai Yellow Mango is back on the market and is reasonably priced; these lovely mangos are very sweet and are fantastic as snack fruits or great for cooking with. We are now only working new crop Spanish Plums; they are nice quality and better value than before. Sticking with Spain, we are now supplying Spanish Watermelons; again they are better value, and markedly better quality. We are seeing some lovely quality UK Raspberries at the moment, they are nice and large and really tasty, trust me I sampled one this morning and it was great. Also UK strawberries are very nice and sweet and just starting to arrive on the market.
Raspberries contain more vitamin C than oranges, are high in fibre, low in calories and a good source of folic acid. |
This week the Best Buys include: Apricots, Blueberries, Water Melon, Large Pineapple, and Raspberries.
Salads; We are now working lovely new crop UK Iceberg, Lollo Rosso & Biondie, Little Gem, Cos, and Oakleaf salad at very good value. There are also still plenty of lovely Heritage Tomatoes on the market which are perfect for spicing up your salad. Baby Candy and Baby Golden Beetroot are back in season, and finally the Wild Garlic season is coming to an end, so get in there quickly if you want to add some garlic leaves to your salad
This week the Best Buys include: Iceberg, Cos, Little Gem, Corn Salad, Spring Onions, Inca and Cherry vine tomatoes.
