Hello and welcome to the latest market report. Apologies for the delay between this issue and the last but our head buyer has been away due to the birth of his second child. However, all the latest news and information can always be found at www.sheringhams.com

Clockwise from top left: White Broccoli, Cow Heart Tomatoes, Baby Kiwi & Honey Pomello

Vegetables

Since the last report we’ve seen Wild Garlic arrive in the market and while it’s still a little expensive the quality is great. Fresh Wet Garlic is also back in season.

Beautiful Jersey Ware and New Potatoes are also here and we expect the price to come down over the coming weeks.

Baby Savoy Cabbages and Baby Cauliflowers are available but 24hrs notice when ordering is advised to ensure you’re not disappointed.

Purple Broccoli is in full swing and we also have White Stem Broccoli which looks great but is quite expensive at the moment.

The unusually named Cow Heart Tomatoes are here as are a variety of Mushrooms including Pied Bleu, Chanterelle and Trompette.

Fresh Broad Beans and Peas are available but sadly, Chervil and Parsley Root are not but we do hope to see them again soon.

Best Buys include: Broccoli, Green Courgettes, Savoy Cabbage, Leeks & Parsnips

Salads

UK Watercress is back in season and will be with us soon.

We also have a selection of Cress and Micro Cress which look great make a tasty addition to any salad. They include Red Mustard Frills, Bulls Blood, Mizuna, Red Chard and Mesculin.

Best Buys include: Round Lettuce, Raddichio, Baby Gem, Watercress & Roquette

Fruits

Watermelons are finally back to normal, the quality is good we have plenty in stock and the price is coming down.

UK Rhubarb is in full swing as are Golden Plums, both taste great and are good value for money.

New season Egyptian Oranges have arrived and don’t forget we have Blood Oranges too.

English Cox and Braeburn Apples will be coming to an end in the next few weeks so be sure to get your order in while stocks last.

Satsuma and Clementine are also finishing soon and we will be moving to Nadercott which will be slightly more expensive to start but the quality is far better.

Cherries are still around but a drop in supply has seen the price increase slightly.

Finally, if you fancy something a little more exotic, and let’s be honest we all do from time to time, why not try some Baby Kiwi, Honey Pomello or the appropriately named but delicious tasting Ugli Fruit.

Best Buys include: Blueberries, Figs, Extra Sweet Mangoes, Comice Pears, Red Plums & Rhubarb

We would like to remind everyone that we are able to supply an extensive range of Dried Goods and Dairy.

We ask that all customers try to return as many boxes as they can as we are trying to strengthen our environmental policy and recycle as much as possible.
