Tyrone Fruit and Veg

Spotting the difference between a vendor who simply stocks produce and one who knows their product comes down to specifics. A knowledgeable operator can tell you why one batch of avocados ripens faster than another, which tomatoes were picked too early and won't develop flavour, and whether potatoes will hold up to your cooking method. They notice problems — soft spots on fruit, wilting vegetables, signs of disease — before they reach your kitchen. They understand seasonality enough to guide you toward what's actually good value that week rather than pushing what's been sitting too long. In Randburg, where many vendors compete for the same residential customer base, experience shows in product rotation, knowledge of supply chains, and honesty about what's genuinely fresh versus what's been sourced to fill gaps.
