Market Report 1st Oct - 15th Oct 2013

Welcome to our latest Market Report. Have you missed us? Of course you have. Sorry we’ve been away for so long but we’re back with all the very latest information.





Vegetables; Plenty to tell you about in this week’s edition so let’s dive straight in. A variety of weird and wonderful Squashes are readily available in the market including Stripetti, Turban, Spaghetti, Crown Prince, Onion, Table Gold and Green Kabocha. With Halloween just around the corner we have plenty of UK grown Pumpkins which are perfect for cooking or carving. New arrivals include Piccolo Parsnip and fresh Almonds plus we also have some beautiful wet Garlic which is quite expensive but well worth the money in our humble opinion. Green and orange Cauliflowers that keep their vibrant colour even after cooking are also starting to make an appearance but if you would like them in large numbers please allow 24 hours’ notice as there is a limited supply at the moment.



Just some of the Squashes available at the moment



This week  Best Buys include: Broccoli, Cauliflower, Green Courgette, Spring Green, Parsnip, King Edwards Potatoes and washed Mids.


Moving onto Fruits; A variety of delicious home grown and exotic fruits to get through so let’s start with British Comice Pears which are now available, as are UK Conference Pears and having tried one just this morning I can thoroughly recommend them.
UK Rhubarb on the other hand has now finished and we are solely stocking Dutch which is slightly more money but the quality is far superior. Speaking of things that have finished New Zealand Kiwi is no longer available but we do now have the first of the European season which is both better quality and value for money.
Moving on, Turkish Lemons are back but remember; because of the way they’re grown you should cut them end-to-end to get the most juice out of them.
This time of year is great for UK Apples and we have plenty of Cox and Russets available as well as some early season Windsor. We should also have some Royal Gala from next week but unfortunately both Worcester and Discovery have come to an end.
A quick reminder that our Watermelons will soon be exclusively Brazilian and Spanish Sharon fruit is available again.
Last but by no means least, Cobnuts are back in full swing and are perhaps best used as a crunchy topping to autumnal salads.   

 

 

Spanish Sharon fruit is available again.




This week the Best Buys include: Cox Apples, Blackberries, Blueberries, Figs, Watermelon, Galia, Honeydew, Williams Pears and Raspberries.


Salads; We’re starting to see new season Tomatoes, Peppers and Cucumbers arrive from Spain and we have begun using them alongside the Dutch produce that is still available. They are a tad more expensive at the moment but the quality is excellent.  
If brightly coloured veg is your thing we have plenty to choose from including Rainbow Radish and Rainbow Carrots. The carrots are available in both normal size and baby.
Borlotti Beans in their distinctive red and white pods are also a popular choice at this time of year.


This week the Best Buys include: Cos Lettuce, Little Gem, Corn Salad, Celery, Watercress and Cherry Vine Tomatoes.
