Market Report 9th July - 23rd July 2013
Greetings readers, I hope you have all been enjoying the sun, we are very veg heavy this issue, because UK produce is appearing everywhere and the value is great.
Vegetables; The past week there has been a problem with French Spinach the quality was extremely poor so we were not stocking it, but you will be pleased to know that it is back and much improved. We are seeing the first of the UK Carrots appearing on the market, the quality is much better and they are good value. It is a similar story with the UK Courgettes, they are new season and the quality is really good with a price to match. UK Globe Artichokes are back, and they are beautiful, very tasty and great value (are you seeing a theme yet?). UK Marrow is also abundant and well worth your time. Yellow and Green Round Courgettes are still available and the quality is pretty darn good, they are just waiting for you to stuff them. We are now only working Cornish Mids, as the quality and value is fantastic, it is a real pleasure to see some great quality potatoes after all the trouble we have had this year, let’s hope that it is a sign of things to come. There are also some lovely quality UK Scraper Mids on the market at a good price, so if you like your potatoes dirty, get in there. UK Stick beans are back, the quality is lovely and they are better value, but be warned still a little pricey. Fresh Borlotti beans are in full swing, and we are seeing some nice Yellow beans coming in, although the supply for the yellow is short. Corn on the cob is plentiful and perfect for any barbecues you may have planned. Purple Sprouting Broccoli is coming back onto the market but the supply is short. UK Savoy and Primo Cabbage are also readily available on the market and as with all the other UK veg the quality and price are great. Rainbow chard is also in good supply, it’s lovely but a bit pricey. UK Asparagus is coming to an end, there is some left but it will not last long so get in there whilst you can as we will be moving over to Peruvian and Mexican, meaning the supply will be a bit short and the price high for a while until the season is further along. UK Parsnips have also finished and we are now working new season Spanish, they are a bit more expensive but the quality is much better.
Globe Artichoke is the bud of a large member of the thistle family. |

This week Best Buys include: Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower, Courgettes, Primo, Savoy, Spring Greens, P/P Spinach
Moving onto Fruits; Rather excitingly the first of the UK Cherries are popping up, and the quality is gorgeous, they are very sweet and tasty, but they are not cheap, although I am sure the price will drop soon. In the mean time Spanish Cherries are everywhere and they are all delicious, so you do have other options. You can’t move on the market right now without seeing Flat Peaches, and they are delicious, if you have not tried them before now is the time, trust me you do not want to miss out on this lovely summer treat. UK Strawberries and UK Raspberries are in full swing, tasty, and good value. White Currants are also very plentiful at the moment although no sign of the black on the horizon but watch this space. Finally UK Rhubarb is coming to an end, by the end of the week it should be finished, so order now if you fancy a last minute crumble.

Cherries are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium and contain boron. |
This week the Best Buys include: Blueberries, Cherries, Water Melon, Nectarine, Peaches, Strawberries and Raspberries.
Salads; All our Salad leaves are still UK, and as it is the season for them they are great quality and value. Bunched UK Candy and Golden Beetroot are in full swing and very nice they are to. Cherry Vine Tomatoes are lovely at the moment, and we are seeing some really nice Heritage Tomatoes, either Dutch or Italian well worth it to add some lovely flavours and colours to your summer salads.
This week the Best Buys include: Iceberg, Lollo Rosso & Biondi, UK Water Cress, Corn Salad, Spring Onions, and Cherry vine tomatoes.
