🥑 National Avocado Day | 31 July

The countdown is on!

Did you know avocados are technically a fruit, and more specifically, a berry?

Native to Central America, avocados have been enjoyed for thousands of years and are now one of Australia's favourite fresh produce staples and we move through thousands of tonnes every year here at Sydney Markets.

Packed with healthy fats, fibre and essential nutrients, they're as versatile as they are delicious.

From smashed avo on toast and smoothies to salads, sushi and guacamole, there's no shortage of ways to enjoy this creamy green powerhouse.

🥑 Let's Avo-Debate!

Meet Brian and Lili Zhai, owners of Chase Market Chatswood.

Since opening their first store in 2020, the Zhai family has grown their business to three locations, building strong local connections through quality fresh produce and genuine service.

Like many independent retailers, they've navigated staffing challenges, supply pressures and the demands of maintaining consistency across multiple sites. Through it all, they've remained focused on serving their community and delivering quality produce every day.

Chase Market joined Freshmark in October 2025, initially seeking support with business costs, including reduced merchant fees. Membership has already delivered savings, helping the business focus on what matters most: serving customers and growing sustainably.

It's businesses like Chase Market that keep local fresh produce retail thriving, and we're proud to support them. 🍎🥦🍊

What’s eating well right now? Here’s what’s moving through Sydney Markets. 🍎

Apples are hard to go past at the moment, especially Kanzi. Keep an eye on Pink Lady too for the last of this season's harvest.

Persimmons are crisp, sweet and perfect as an easy snack, while passionfruit is bringing a welcome tropical hit to the cooler months.

Mandarins are juicy and in good supply, and winter staples like celery and radish are eating well and priced well too.

Buying in season usually means better flavour, better value and produce at its best.

INGREDIENTS
🥒 5 medium zucchini, finely grated
🧂 Table salt
🥚 5 eggs
🧂 Pepper
🥄 3 heaped tbsp self-raising flour
🥄 2 heaped tbsp plain flour
🧀 5 tbsp finely grated pecorino romano, plus extra for sprinkling
🫒 Olive oil, for frying

METHOD
1️⃣ Place the grated zucchini in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and leave for at least 10 minutes.
2️⃣ Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, handful by handful, then place into a clean bowl.
3️⃣ In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, and season with salt and pepper.
4️⃣ Stir in both flours and the pecorino. Add to the zucchini and mix well.
5️⃣ Heat enough olive oil for shallow frying over medium heat.

Squeeze out as much water from the zucchini as possible
Keep fritters a similar size for even cooking
Olive oil or extra virgin olive oil both work well
Cook in batches so they fry evenly

Serves 8 as a side 💛
