Brisbane Market Report - 46

Brisbane Market Report - 46

Summer has arrived with pallets of stonefruit, mangoes, new season cherries and an abundance of produce for the festive season available but some kitchen favourites are pricey.
This week's best vegetable buys include beans, beetroot, carrot, celery, eggplant, fennel, silverbeet, mushrooms, onions and pumpkin.
Asian vegetables are struggling with quality but are of a reasonable price with snake beans, chinese broccoli, hairy melon and okra plentiful.
Victorian asparagus, Gympie brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, Bundaberg capsicum, leeks, parsnips, snow peas, squash, sweet corn and zucchinis are available but they are firmly priced.
The big surprises are expensive broccoli, which is in short supply, and potatoes and sweet potatoes which have had planting and picking issues in the growing regions.
With the hot conditions sweeping Queensland, it's the perfect time to eat salad with avocados, lettuce, mixed salad leaf, cucumber, eshallots and all herbs plentiful, of top quality and reasonably priced.
Tomatoes will cost you more. Be sure to ripen them up out of the refrigerator to gain their full flavour.
The colour and smells associated with summer are wafting from reasonably priced mangoes, firmly priced new season cherries, peaches and nectarines and expensive new season apricots and plums.
Eating melon is a great way to cool down on a hot day with watermelon and honeydew both firmly priced and rockmelon more value for money.
Other great buys include reasonably priced bananas, kiwifruit, pineapple and pawpaw.
You will pay firm prices for all berries, pears and passionfruit while lemons, limes, lychees and new season grapes from Emerald are expensive.
For those looking for something different for the fruit platter, try dragon fruit, pomegranates from the USA, coconuts and soursop.
