Welcome to Fruit and Veg Underground, Brisbane's source for exotic fruit and vegetables grown on North Queensland farms. We started this to bring the authentic tastes of home to Brisbane's diverse multicultural communities.

Where Our Produce Comes From

We buy direct from a small number of North Queensland growers, where the tropical climate suits crops that will not grow further south. That keeps the chain from farm to your door short: true horn plantains, pumpkin leaves (ugu), cassava, breadfruit, shallots and rare tropical fruit you will not find in a supermarket.

Serving Brisbane's Diverse Community

Food connects people to their heritage. Whether you are cooking West African stews, Pacific Island staples like taro and breadfruit, Indian or Southeast Asian dishes, or chasing the heat of a Carolina Reaper, we stock the real ingredient rather than the nearest substitute.

Brisbane Delivery

Our own van runs every Wednesday across Brisbane, Logan and Ipswich, and we send by courier to the rest of Queensland, New South Wales, the ACT and Victoria. Pickup is available from Narangba. See our delivery areas for postcodes and costs.

Why Buy From Us

• Direct from the farm - a shorter supply chain than imported stock
• Genuinely seasonal - we list what North Queensland is actually picking, so the range shifts through the year
• Picked at the right stage - green plantains for frying, riper fruit for sweet dishes, and we tell you which you are getting
• Authentic varieties - true horn plantains, not cooking bananas
• We know the produce - how to choose it, store it and cook it
• Queensland local - Narangba based, buying from Queensland growers
