Morrisons has launched seasonal veg boxes that are a fraction of the price of a typical delivered veg box.

The supermarket giant is offering an all-British supermarket vegetable box that costs a fiver, compared to delivered veg boxes costing more than double.

Available in store and online, the boxes are designed to make eating fresh food more affordable, with the £5 box containing enough fresh British veg to feed a family of four for five days.

For online shoppers, there is also a wonky veg box available, which costs £3 for delivery with their shopping.

What's inside the box?

It includes eight different seasonal vegetables such as carrots, onions, potatoes, cauliflower, and courgettes.

The wonky veg box has similar amounts of produce that may be mis-shapen and may come from overseas.

Morrisons British Veg Box is sourced from more than 60 trusted British growers in Cornwall, Lincolnshire, Suffolk and Yorkshire, who work closely with the supermarket’s buyers.

Morrisons is the only supermarket that handpicks, scrubs and packs its vegetables at four sites around the country.

How much does it cost?

The Morrisons vegetable box range includes a British Veg Box for £5, a Wonky Veg Box for £3 and an Organic Veg Box for £8.

The British Veg Box is the cheapest of its kind on the market, with the equivalent loose vegetables averaging £6.14 at the "big four" supermarkets.

The launch follows a successful online trial earlier this year where the veg boxes sold at a rate of 2,000 in a week.

Andy Todd, vegetable buyer at Morrisons, said: "We’ve listened to our customers who told us they want even more affordable veg.

"They are a great way for our customers to buy British or eat seasonally or feed the family for the week."

When is it available?

The British Veg Box is available at Morrisons stores nationwide from September 28.

All veg boxes can be delivered to customers’ homes via an online shopping service from October 2.
