Fresh produce

What is worth buying this week

Avocados are at their best, the mangoes have arrived, and there is a reason the limes are cheap.

DEMO CONTENT. Produce is a moving target, and the honest answer to "what should I buy" changes every week. Here is what is worth your money right now.

Avocados

Hass avocados are at their best and priced accordingly. Buy them a shade firmer than you want them and give them two days on the counter; the fridge stops them ripening and starts them going grey.

Mangoes

The first good mangoes are in. Smell the stem end — if it smells like a mango, it is one. If it smells like nothing, it will taste like nothing.

Limes

Cheap this week, which is worth knowing if you were planning anything that needs a dozen of them.
