TRUFFLE SEASON IS UNDERWAY

Coming from Southern Queensland in 2kg boxes for $100. Supply very inconsistent and available by the box only
DRAGON FRUIT (WHITE FLESH)
Quite a lot in the Market and the quality is excellent.
BORLOTTI BEANS
Looking good again this week. They're not cheap but there seems to be a fair few in the Market.
BERGAMOT
Not very common and super expensive at $175 for a 5kg / box only. Available Monday to Friday only.
LEBANESE ZUCCHINI
A few more in the Market this week. Quality is very good and the price won't break the bank.
