Businesses in the fruit and vegetables category sell fresh produce for customers to eat at home or use in cooking. Their range commonly includes whole and loose fruit, salad vegetables, root vegetables, leafy greens, potatoes, onions and seasonal produce. Many also stock herbs, chillies, mushrooms and items such as garlic or ginger. Products may be sourced from UK growers, imported, or supplied from both, depending on the season and availability. Customers may find produce sold by weight or in pre-packed portions, alongside selected prepared items such as washed salad leaves, chopped vegetables, fruit portions or juices. Some businesses supply restaurants, caterers and other food businesses as well as household customers, offering larger quantities or regular deliveries. Stock and varieties change through the year, and businesses may provide information about origin, storage and suitability for particular uses, such as eating raw, roasting or cooking.
