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 redcurrants can shift week to week.

It's held pretty steady across the year (up about 14% 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

A short British summer season, roughly late June to August.

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.

Sold by the piece or punnet; very perishable, so order close to use and choose plump, glossy berries still on their strigs.
