09.01.2022 Interesting Banana facts: the Case for Coffs Great fruit choices galore this week, starting with bananas: the warmer weather is bringing on bigger crops and lower prices. After selling around $2.50 for most of winter and spring, they have now dropped to under $2. That alone is a good reason for going big this week. But here are a few other considerations: 95% of Box Divvy bananas are sourced mainly from the Coffs region from Scotts Head to Woolgoolga and some from nort...hern NSW around Murwillumbah. Transport from Coffs (530kms from Sydney) uses about 80% fewer food miles compared with Queensland bananas, most of which are grown in Innesfail, south of Cairns Because of the more humid climate in North Qld, the crop requires a fair amount of ag chemicals fungicides and pesticides mainly to maintain their good looks. That is important, as the major supermarkets only buy Qld bananas and cosmetics are considered more important than flavour and nutrition. By contrast, Coffs bananas use little or no chemicals at all. What’s more: because it’s a little cooler than Qld, it takes an extra 1-2 months to bring the fruit to maturity. That makes the Coffs bananas noticeably sweeter. That said, they may not always win a beauty contest! Lower input and transport cost plus Box Divvy’s low-cost model mean they are consistently 30-40% cheaper than supermarket bananas What’s more: bananas are remarkably healthy. They provide lots of energy, but still have a lower GI (Glycaemic Index) than sweet potatoes and pumpkin. That means blood sugar rises only gradually after eating a banana. They’re also full of vitamin B6 important for the manufacture of red blood cells as well as potassium (good for brain development and maintaining healthy blood pressure) and fibre (including pectin, which can help prevent colon cancer). Did we mention they’re fat-free and cholesterol-free? Little wonder that bananas are Australia’s number one selling fruit!

09.01.2022 Time to try something different. Steve Grima in Horsley Park has a late flush of purple and green cauliflower! They not only look great, but taste sweet. They’re just over $4 each - what a bargain.

02.01.2022 Some great prices this week. Anyone for a little Bruschetta or zucchini pesto??
