Morrisons is launching an extra large box of fruit and veg to help customers access food more easily and to eat healthily during the lockdown.
The 11kg box will feature a collection of fruit and veg favourites. Each box contains 135 portions of fruit & veg – meaning a family can easily eat their 5-a-day during the course of a week.
The boxes are priced at £22 – which includes next-day delivery to your doorstep – meaning that those people who are vulnerable, elderly or self-isolating do not need to leave their home.
A typical boxes’ salad items will include; peppers, tomatoes, lettuce and cucumber. Whilst vegetables may include; carrots, baking potatoes, onions,spinach, green beans and mushrooms. And fruits could include; apples, bananas, grapes, satsumas, lemons and pineapple.
Liz Taylor, Morrisons Fruit & Veg Director said: “Our fruit and veg box contains a wide variety of affordable and good quality fruit and veg. A family can simply order one box – and get all of the vegetables they need for healthy meals for the week. They can be ordered alongside other food boxes such as our Meat Box and Fish Box – that we’ve recently launched to play our full part in feeding the nation.”
