Brisbane Market Report - 05

Heat in the growing regions has pushed up the price of some vegetables but there is plenty of fresh produce arriving daily at the Brisbane Produce Market to keep healthy eating affordable.

Cabbage and onions are cheap. 

Look for value-for-money beetroot, carrots, celery, eggplant, fennel, leeks, snow peas, silverbeet, squash, sweet corn and potatoes, along with mixed quality capsicums.

Heat has shortened supplies of Asian vegetables, beans and zucchini, which have all firmed in price.  Broccoli is still firmly priced but is expected to become cheaper in the days ahead.

Expect to pay firm prices on brussels sprouts, cauliflower, leeks, hard to find parsnips, mushrooms, sweet potatoes and pumpkin.

Avocados are expensive in the salad line but there are ample supplies of reasonably priced tomatoes, lettuce, salad mix, cucumber, eshallots and herbs to make eating colourful.

They might be expensive but lychees are now on your fruiterer's shelves heralding the festive season but remember to keep them covered and away from the dehydrating refrigerator fan.

Team them with reasonably priced stonefruit, cherries and mangoes, although the most popular, perfectly balanced acidity variety, the kensington pride, is in shorter supply.

For something a little different, add dragonfruit and blackberries to your festive recipes, although they are firmly priced. Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, is a colourful, edible cactus.

Bananas, limes, valencia oranges, all melons, pineapples and pawpaw are reasonably priced.

It will cost you more this week to enjoy good quality apples, all berries, navel oranges, Italian kiwifruit and passionfruit.  Pears are expensive.
