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 pomelos can shift week to week.

The yearlong trend has been easing (up about 129% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Seasonality in the UK

Imported, with best availability in winter.

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.

The thick pith means low edible yield, so factor that into per-piece costing; choose heavy fruit for juicier flesh.
