The cultivated version of the dandelion comes into its own in the cooler months as its bitter taste and serrated leaves complement the chicories that are coming into season. Dandelion is rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, minerals calcium, iron, and potassium, antioxidants, and health-promoting phytochemicals!

This slightly scruffy looking violet garlic is considered by many to be the best flavoured garlic of all. Similar to Lautrec, the Cadours garlic comes from a region in Haute-Garonne in France and is protected by both AOC and AOP status. It is packed in 6kg trays for much of the season but now there are some very attractive 1kg strings available too.

Good news for fig lovers!
Weโ€™re being told the Provence fig season should keep going for another three weeks, possibly right through to the end of October.

Theyโ€™re looking fantastic and eating beautifully, so make the most of them while theyโ€™re here!

And finally, one of our autumn favourites is back! Delica squash from Italy is hugely popular year after year and sales are already starting to build.

We get these directly from our friends at Lorenzini, based between Verona and Bologna. Rich, sweet and packed with flavour โ€“ autumn really wouldnโ€™t be the same without them!

With Mirabelle coming to an end, there is a short-term replacement available. Chypre plum is a very colourful, round plum, roughly the same size as Mirabelle, that has loads of colour and a good flavour. There is a single harvest so when itโ€™s gone, itโ€™s gone - about 2 weeks.

One of the sweetest autumnal family of fruits that runs into the winter is the Persimmon. This week saw the first arrivals of both the Persimmon, which is hard and is eaten when still firm, and the Kaki, which turns softer and softer as it ripens. They are both sweet, but the softer Kaki probably just edges it for all-round satisfaction. They will be at their peak from the end of October and into November.

It is the beginning of the season for this delicious leaf. As the morning temperatures start to dip, the cress leaves grow larger and the flavour becomes more pronounced, giving us a (small currently), daily supply of watercress from the รŽle-de-France. While volumes are low, the bunches are packed in 6s, so itโ€™s a great time to try it!

The original and tastiest beetroot is the Crapaudine, with its distinctive long shape and earthy taste, and it has been around for more than 1000 years. It is difficult and labourious to cultivate, but the result is a gnarled root that tastes great! Deep in colour, the root comes to life when roasted with sweet and nutty overtones. We can supply them raw or already roasted.

As the stone fruit season comes to a close in Europe, the citrus season begins to take shape. Lemons are coming up from Spain and Italy and more interesting edibles are arriving from South Africa. Tarocco orange has a lovely red blush inside the fruit and the Orri clementine is one of the best eating varieties.

In theory the warm summer months will come to an end and products like chicory will become a staple of the fresh market. The early one is the specially selected, small chicory from Cybรจle. It is stunning to look at, packed beautifully by hand and could suit retailers wanting to offer a smaller product for customers to try catering to chefs that want to try a smaller dish.

Fabien Vassout is a local Parisian grower whom our buyer in France, Robin, has worked with for over 30 years! The teamโ€™s attention to detail; trimming the trees twice a year- results in beautiful, unblemished fruit that graces the top retailers on both sides of the Channel. While their range is on the market for 6 months, some varieties only last several weeks, so enjoy them as they mature.
