Tomato

What is Tomato?

Standard round tomatoes are everyday salad tomatoes with a balanced sweet-acid flavour, the kitchen workhorse variety.

Used across British kitchens sliced in salads and sandwiches, grilled at breakfast, and roasted or chopped into sauces. The all-purpose default tomato.

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 tomato 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

UK-grown peaks from early summer to autumn; imported from Spain, the Netherlands and Morocco to cover the rest of the year.

Per case or per kilo?
