British Tomato Fortnight runs from 1st to 14th June and is the perfect opportunity to celebrate one of the UK’s most versatile and delicious ingredients. Whether enjoyed fresh in salads, roasted in pasta dishes, or blended into soups and sauces, British tomatoes are packed with flavour and nutritional benefits.
At R & L Holt, we’re proud to stock quality fresh produce and encourage customers to make the most of seasonal ingredients whenever possible. British tomatoes are at their absolute best during the summer months, offering superior taste, freshness and supporting local growers.
Tomatoes are naturally rich in vitamins A and C, potassium and antioxidants such as lycopene, which has been linked to various health benefits. They are incredibly versatile too. From classic tomato and basil salads to homemade pasta sauces and BBQ side dishes, there are endless ways to enjoy them.
Supporting British growers also helps reduce food miles, making seasonal shopping a more environmentally conscious choice. By choosing British tomatoes during Tomato Fortnight, you’re helping local farmers while enjoying produce at its freshest.
Why not challenge yourself to add tomatoes to more meals this fortnight? Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, this humble ingredient can transform a dish with colour, flavour and nutrition.
