Why the number moves

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 lettuce iceberg can shift week to week.

Across the year the trend has been up. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Seasonality in the UK

In season from British growers June to October, with Spanish imports filling the winter and spring.

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.

Choose heavy, tightly packed heads by the case; avoid any browning at the core and keep chilled to preserve the crunch.
