When is celery in season in UK?
Vegetables no longer have 'seasons' in the UK - since most of them are imported, or grown in hot-houses - they're available all year round. Another answer: The UK imports about 60% of its vegetables and 90% of its fruit which means that 40% (nearly half) of UK vegetables are still grown in the United Kingdom and are all harvested during the appropriate season. A large amount of celery is grown in the UK and it is normally harvested in July/August until the first frost in Oct/Nov.
Does the UK make its own food?
Yes it does. It makes a lot of its own food and also imports food that cannot be grown or produced in the United Kingdom.
Are the UK's food miles high?
Yes, the UK's food miles are relatively high, as a significant portion of food consumed is imported from distant countries. This transportation contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact. Efforts to reduce food miles include promoting local produce and seasonal eating, which can also support local economies and sustainability. However, the overall trend still shows a reliance on imported food, keeping food miles considerable.
How long does it take to get the gooseberry's to the UK?
The time it takes to get gooseberries to the UK depends on the source and method of transport. If imported from abroad, it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on shipping logistics and customs clearance. Locally sourced gooseberries are typically available during their growing season, which is usually from June to August in the UK.
