Fruits & Vegetables That You’ll See On Your Table A LOT More in 2022

Global warming hasn’t been kind to us, and it shows. According to the latest statistics, the overall global temperature is likely to go up by 1.21% by 2022. This figure is higher than the average numbers during the pre-industrial era and this is the eighth successive year that we’ve witnessed this rise.

While the Global temperature levels were relatively cooler last year, thanks to the La Nina from the Pacific lands. Such won’t be the case in 2022 even if a new La Nina is underway. Global warming and its resultant fluctuation in agricultural trends are here to stay and the UK agricultural sector will witness some big transformations as well.

For instance, the usual crops like asparagus, sweet potatoes, and beets will continue to grow and thrive. But this will also be backed by the sudden influx of new exotic fruits namely pomegranates, grapes, and limes among others.

While the production of these fruits wasn’t uncommon in the UK, the volume is likely to go up by a significant extent owing to the global-warming induced heat and the temperate-like climate zone. Several scientists and agricultural researchers have agreed with the fact and have confirmed that the trend is here to stay.

But what does this mean for the general masses as well as the hospitality (especially the restaurant) segment? Well, it simply means that you will probably see a lot newer fruits and vegetables on your plate this year. Depending on how much you enjoy cooking or why you need to cook, you might want to seize this opportunity to create and introduce new recipes that have never been on your plate before.

• Who needs agricultural data?

Even before you want to know what to expect on your plate in 2022, it is crucial for certain segments like agriculture and hospitality, to understand the current and projected agricultural data in the UK. Given that restaurant businesses have suffered a massive hit from the Covid, they might want to leverage this data to create menus that can be whipped up from easy and accessible ingredients.

The same applies to agriculturists who grow crops and depend on them for a living. You would need the latest agricultural statistics for a better insight into the type of crops that will thrive best in the current and upcoming seasons.

The general mass, especially home cooks can expect what to cook and assess how the new and available produce will affect their lifestyle with the available data.

But how do you find agricultural data and how do you know whether the data is accurate? While there are several solutions onboard for the cause, one tool stands out, namely – Agri Food. In the following section, we will learn more about it.

• A brief lowdown on Agri Food

Agri Food is a platform that gives you real-time statistics on agricultural data including (but not limited to) accurate field views, field analytics, information about producing statistics in 11 different countries, and more.

To put it simply, the platform enables agriculture enthusiasts to find more relevant information related to agricultural data and it also helps monetize farming to a degree. When you visit the platform for the first time, you will find an option to access the data catalog. This catalog is highly comprehensive, and it has all the assessments and analytics you require for farming lands in the UK and other nations.

Agri Food comes with a premium suite of features that enables you to identify and assess the real-time produce in the UK fields along with a historic assessment of the same over the years. Because the platform is powered by AI, the information is accurate and highly reliable. A huge chunk of the data is sourced from the satellite images of UK field crops and the images are distinct and devoid of any cloud, further making way for better and more judicious assessment.

To top all that off, you also get clear and distinct images of our land’s surface along with necessary agricultural field metrics like leaf water content among others. Finally, the app also offers free and complete access to the field and produces statistics of the UK along with 11 other regions which are impressive, to say the least. Since this feature is open source one can view and access it.

• What Fruits and Vegetables to expect in 2022?

In the coming days, you can expect plenty of grape-related dishes on your menu because the grape is being grown consistently in UK fields. Thanks to the warm sunny days, the fruits are thriving in an ideal condition which is why you will see a lot more of them in supermarkets. Some of these might be grape-based sour patches and grape candies as well. In fact, a leading supermarket is already busy prepping for their seedless grapes that’ll be launched this summer. Given the otherwise high price of produce, you might expect grape-based items in small to mid-sized eateries as they would be now easier to afford to create meals with.

The next thing to expect on your plate is pomegranate. This is an underrated fruit that has barely been grown in the UK, especially in the Southern parts. However, creating an entirely new historical record, pomegranates are now abundantly grown in Southern UK. Of course, this makes way for a host of new pomegranate-based dishes both sweet and savory. While you can always go old-school and whip up a pomegranate cake, other options would be chicken with a pomegranate sauce or charred pomegranate with bacon.

Other additions to your plate would be orange, lime, lemon. Although some parts of the UK still grow oranges, lime and lemon are not usually common. Owing to the increasingly high temperature, these crops are likely to thrive in the coming months (and even later).

Either way, now that these exotic foods are widely available and accessible across all parts of the UK, you can probably make the most by experimenting with new recipes. Because the produce is now abundantly available, the prices of these exotic fruits are likely to be much cheaper than their imported counterparts.
