Seasonal fruit and vegetables means those which are ripe and ready to harvest at certain times of the year. Some people in the UK are currently struggling to get their hands on cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and lettuces. Supermarkets say it's because of bad weather in Spain and Morocco where we get lots of our salad items in the winter. MP for North Devon, Selaine Saxby, suggested in the House of Commons that we should be "eating more seasonally and supporting our British farmers" to avoid problems like this in the future. Our favourite foods might normally be available in supermarkets all year round, but that doesn't mean they're grown in the UK all year round. Changes in the weather and climate throughout the year affects what farmers can grow naturally. For example some fruit and veg need warmer weather to successfully grow, so can't be grown when it's winter here. We have to rely on imports from other countries - usually with warmer climates - to get certain items all year round. Environment Secretary Therese Coffey has suggested turnips could be a suitable alternative while other vegetables remain in short supply. Let's take a look at what we can grow here in the UK and what time of year we can eat it!
