Market Report 8th - 22nd January 2014
Happy New Year and Welcome to the first market report of 2014. If one of your resolutions is to eat healthier this year then you’ve come to the right place as we have plenty of delicious fruit and vegetables to inspire you.
A fairly slow week for the veg but some good news is that the supply of both Broccoli and Courgette is back to normal and as a result the quality has improved and the price is much more reasonable. Purple Sprouting Broccoli on the other hand is only available in small quantities and consequently is fairly expensive. UK Rhubarb is back and our current stock is from Yorkshire but we do have a Dutch grown variety available as well.
| Crones or Chinese Artichoke has been cultivated in Asia for over a thousand years |
This week Best Buys include:
Broccoli, Cabbage Primo,Cabbage Savoy, Cavolo Nero, Curly Kale & Extra Small New Potatoes
Plenty of good things to tell you about in this week’s fruit section. Fuji Apples and Apricots are both back in full swing. Peaches are also available as are Galia and Cantaloupe Melons both of which have come down in price slightly. The season for Brazilian Grapes has finished and we are now using Cape new season which is also where our Plums are currently from. Both are great quality and highly recommended. Kaki Fruit, Blood Orange, Satsuma & Clementine are all in full swing and looking beautiful, the last two are particularly good value for money at the moment. If you like your fruit to be grown here in the UK we have plenty of Comice and Conference Pears as well as Braeburn, Russet and Cox Apples. Finally, just one piece of bad news, Cherries are available but the quality isn’t great and they are a little expensive.

Recent bad weather in Israel means Basil is in short supply and we apologise if you can’t always get the amount you request but we’re hoping the situation will be back to normal soon. Micro Chocolate Mint, Micro Lemon Balm and Micro Shisu are all unavailable at the moment but we will of course let you know as soon as that changes. Some unusual items that we do have at the moment include Iced Lettuce which gets its name from the way it looks rather than its temperature, Mesclun Salad, Baby Red Frisee, Bulls Blood, Rainbow Chard and Crones which can be pickled, added to salads or stir fries.
