Brisbane Produce Market Report - 04

It smells like Christmas on the Brisbane Produce Market trading floor this week with an abundance of traditional celebratory fresh produce ready for the festive season.

Christmas coloured capsicums are the best bargain vegetable on offer and can be teamed with value-for-money Asian vegetables, beans, beetroot, cabbage, carrot, celery, eggplant, snow peas, silverbeet, onions, potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The heat in the Victorian cropping areas has taken its toll on asparagus firming its price.

Expect to pay firm prices for brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, fennel, leeks, squash, sweet corn, zucchini and mushrooms.  Parsnips are in short supply and will cost you more.

Pumpkin is still firmly priced but is expected to become cheaper in the lead up to Christmas.

It's the perfect weather for impressing with salads, with tomatoes, lettuce, mixed salad leaf, cucumbers, eshallots and most herbs of good quality and affordable.

The heat has affected supplies of coriander. Avocados are firmly priced.

The colour and smells of Christmas are teasing the nostrils with plentiful supplies of reasonably priced peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums. 

Cherries are also plentiful but range in price from firm to cheap according to their quality.

More Queensland mangoes are on the shelves, dropping them to a reasonable price, as are all melons and bananas a great buy this week.

Expect to pay firm prices on heat and storm affected strawberries.  Blueberries are firming in price while apples, raspberries, lemons, navel orangs, grapes, figs, kiwifruit, pineapples, passionfruit and pawpaw are firmly priced.

Look for bargain valencia oranges and limes, which have dropped sharply in price.
