Fruit Connection

Shelves of fruit and vegetables of most imaginable shapes and sizes stretch down this long, densely packed shop. Mr Rashad stocks everything you could find in a supermarket and more – 14 types of apple, 7 varieties of onion (or shallot), numerous chillis and boxes of frilly, fancy lettuces, a speciality of this serious greengrocer. The wholesale side of the business means stock is fresh and reliably available – there's a good range of exotic veg and herbs, including fresh horseradish, sugar cane, unusual mushrooms and white asparagus.
