Market Report 25th June - 9th July 2013
Midsummer greetings one and all. The summer is in full swing and that means some nice UK produce on the market.
This week Best Buys include: UK Med Aspargus, UK Broccoli, Cauliflower, Courgette, Primo Cabbage, Leek, Spring Green, and P/P Spinach.
Please ask about our Special Offers: when placing your order. or click here.
We would like to remind everyone that we are able to supply an extensive range of both Dried Goods and Dairy.
Vegetables; There is still no improvement on the potato situation, but we are getting closer to the new season, with only a few months left. We should start to see the new crops at the end of August, weather permitting. We are however starting to see the first UK Mids arriving on the market as the French season comes to an end. The price is slightly higher but the quality is a lot better, which bodes well for the coming potato season. Spanish Broccoli has now come to an end, and we are now working UK, with a marked improvement in the quality and price. UK Fresh Peas and Broad Beans are in full swing, they are super tasty with a price to match. UK Courgettes are also starting to appear, so we should be seeing more of them in the near future. As we have reached midsummer the UK Asparagus season is coming to an end, so get in there quickly before it is all gone. Finally there is a good supply of lovely quality UK Marrow which is well worth it for adding a nice fresh taste to your menu.
Fresh Peas are a perfect summer treat when lightly boiled with a knob of butter added. |

Moving onto Fruits; Flat Peaches are now everywhere on the market and the quality is really good; they are sweet, succulent, and delicious. It is not just their shape that makes them a bit different; they have white flesh, are slightly sweeter than regular peaches, and also make a nice addition to salads with their slightly nutty flavour. There are some lovely quality Forelle pears coming in from chilli that are well worth a try if you fancy a change. Golden Kiwi’s are back and they are very nice, so get in there. Gooseberries are also back in season and I can see lovely Gooseberry fools, fruity tarts and jam in your future. Red Gooseberries are also available; these are a slightly sweeter variety and are often used for desserts. Jazz Apples are also back they are a hybrid of Gala and Braeburn and combine the best qualities of both, so are well worth a look if you fancy a different kind of red that is both sweet and crunchy. We are currently only supplying UK Strawberries, because they are great value, lovely tasting, and ready to dollop with cream just in time for Wimbledon. If you do require any Dutch or French Strawberries let us know and we will source them for you. Elderflower is now back on the market, if you fancy making some lovely refreshing elderflower drinks, wine, or even just for an interesting garnish, It won’t be around for long though so don’t wait.

Salads; All our salad leaves are now UK, including UK Radicchio which has just appeared on the market. UK celery has also come back; it is new season so not yet plentiful. Golden Beetroot is no longer available as it has come to the end of the current season. We are seeing some lovely quality Tomatoes across all ranges at the moment, all of them are Dutch and they are in the height of their season and really delicious. Tomberries are also still going strong in either red or yellow, and well worth considering as a nice little salad surprise.
This week the Best Buys include: Iceberg, Cos, Little Gem, UK Water Cress, Spring Onions, and Cherry vine tomatoes.
