25 Jan 2021 --- Greens have suddenly become extremely popular among UK consumers because of COVID-19 lockdown and the ever-increasing trend toward plant-based and vegan eating. Famously despised by children down the ages, greens are making a comeback having finally shaken off their “loathsome image,” notes retailer Tesco. Greens such as cabbage, spinach and even sprouts have become “very trendy” as homebound, lockdown UK consumers, with more time on their hands, return to scratch cooking. And the growing popularity of plant-based events such as Meat Free Mondays and Veganuary have also contributed to encouraging the consumption of vegetables.
