You might not think of winter vegetables as particularly verdant, but July is “pretty much the month of green”, says Matt Palise, the director of Red Rich Fruits, a fresh produce wholesaler. Brussels sprouts and wombok lead the charge in the best value vegetables.
According to Graham Gee, a senior buyer at the Happy Apple in Melbourne, wombok is “probably the cheapest option in the cabbage family at the moment”. Michael Hsu, the operational manager at Sydney’s Panetta Mercato, credits their low pricing to the warm winter in Victoria.
