What's behind the price
UK produce moves through the wholesale markets — New Covent Garden and the regional markets — fed by British growers in season and by Spanish, Dutch and other imports out of season. That's why a case rate on english onion can shift week to week.
The yearlong trend has been easing (down about 20% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
Per case or per kilo?
Produce is sold by the case, with a per-kilo rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.
Buying by the case rather than per kg lowers the unit cost; keep in a dry, ventilated store to maximise shelf life.
