December might not be peak tomato season in the UK, but thanks to modern growing methods, you can still enjoy nutrient-rich, flavourful British tomatoes. Here’s why choosing fresh, responsibly grown tomatoes matters even during the winter months.
- Nutritional boost: Tomatoes remain a top source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and lycopene — all essential for immune support during cold and flu season.
- Sustainability: Choosing tomatoes grown locally reduces food miles compared to imported winter produce.
- Consistency: Controlled growing means reliable freshness, flavour, and quality, even when the weather outside is frosty.
- Versatility: Tomatoes can brighten hearty winter dishes such as stews, bakes, and festive platters.
This December, don’t overlook the humble tomato, it’s a small choice that supports local growers and boosts your winter wellbeing.
