WELCOMING AEGEAN PANTRY TO THE MARKETS

WELCOMING AEGEAN PANTRY TO THE MARKETS

A little slice of the Mediterranean has arrived at the Markets with the opening of Aegean Pantry.

Part café, part gourmet grocer, Aegean Pantry is packed with Mediterranean flavours, fresh eats and shelves full of delicious discoveries. Whether you're stopping in for a morning coffee, a leisurely lunch or stocking up your pantry, there's something to tempt every food lover.

The menu features fresh salads, sandwiches and Mediterranean-inspired dishes, while the grocery section is filled with imported oils, specialty ingredients and gourmet products sourced from across the region.

And then there's the gelato. Already proving a hit with visitors, the range includes unique flavours such as lavender white chocolate, alongside a selection of classic favourites.

Aegean Pantry is the latest addition to the growing food scene at Fyshwick Markets, offering visitors another reason to make a day of their visit.

What’s In Season

What’s In Season

FRUIT

APPLES & PEARS
Apples and pears are both eating well, with plenty of great varieties available.

TROPICAL FRUIT
Papaya is our pick this week. It is sweet, full of flavour and a great reminder of summer. Add a squeeze of lime and serve with a banana for a delicious breakfast. Watermelon is also eating well.

GRAPES
We are very late in the Australian grape season, and quality is starting to decline. If you are still craving grapes, shop carefully and look for the freshest bunches.

CITRUS
Citrus season is here! Imperial mandarins are our pick, with Satsuma and Afourer mandarins also available. Australian navel oranges, both organic and conventional, are in season, along with ruby and regular grapefruit, cumquats and pomelos. If you have not tried a pomelo salad, now is the time. Seville oranges are not in season just yet, with supplies expected from early July. Lemons are of good quality, and limes are excellent value.

BERRIES
Blackberries and raspberries are good value at the moment. Blueberries and strawberries are between seasons, with strawberries not lasting particularly well. The Queensland season is starting soon, so quality should improve over the coming weeks.

STONEFRUIT
Australian plums are right at the end of their season. All other stonefruit is currently imported.

EXOTIC FRUIT
Quinces, persimmons, feijoas, cumquats and pomegranates are all available.

VEGETABLES

TOMATOES
Round and Roma tomatoes are both excellent value.

ASPARAGUS
Imported only at present, with the Australian season now finished.

AVOCADOS
Both Hass and Shepherd avocados are available. We are nearing the end of the Shepherd season, but we love this variety. They stay green when cut, even with a few bruises, meaning less waste. Hass quality will continue to improve as Queensland fruit comes into season over the next few weeks.

GOOD VALUE THIS WEEK
Broccoli, broccolini, cauliflower, hydro eggplants, lettuce, cos lettuce and new season ginger. It is also a fantastic time of year for root vegetables, including turnips, parsnips, swedes and Jerusalem artichokes.

POTATOES & PUMPKIN
Pumpkins are at their best right now. We have been enjoying organic Jap pumpkin, along with the colourful range of decorative gourds available.

FLOWERS
There is plenty of colour around the Markets, with poppies, dahlias, proteas, wax flower and stock all in season, alongside a beautiful selection of natives.
