Rising costs of fuel and fertiliser will soon affect fresh food aisles but brassica, root vegetables, apples and pears still provide bang for buck
As roast and soup season starts, it is “a good time for brassicas”, says Graham Gee, senior buyer at the Happy Apple in Melbourne – “cauliflower and broccoli”. “You get a good supply of cabbage, kale, silverbeet and leeks too. All the robust veggies.”
While they might not be ultra cheap, he says “a whole cauliflower can go a long way. You can feed a lot of people with them.”
