Produce Market Report December 15, 2015

GOOD BUYS FOR THE WEEK

Onions: While demand

Avocados: One of the

best bargain-priced items
of the season are our
avocados from Mexico.
Best buys for this week
are 32s, 36s and 40s #1.

Mangos: Continued
abundance of sweet,
juicy mangoes from Peru
at great prices.

Watermelons: Who
would have thought
perfectly sweet seedless
watermelons would be
on sale at Christmas?
Try ordering some from
our recent shipment from
Florida!

Clementines:

has improved, pricing on all

three colors has not. Red
onion pricing remains firm
but pricing on yellow and
white onions remains soft.

Idaho Potatoes: Supply

remains plentiful on all
sizes. Larger sizes are not
commanding their typical
premium price and are thus
a great buy. Supplies are
still exceeding demand on
these potatoes, allowing
pricing to remain relatively
consistent. All reports are
indicating an eventual
increase in prices this
season though, due to a
decrease in supply.

Baby Spinach: Baby

spinach and clipped
spinach supplies are all
looking great, although
there are some thick stems.

Clementines from
Morocco and Spain
continue to arrive at
outstanding prices.

Satsuma Mandarins:
California is still sending
delightful Satsumas
which are a great
substitution for
tangerines, that are
currently experiencing s
shortage in the market.
