Reading
Read the text and then complete sentences 1-6.

Eating vegetables is good for you.’ ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away.’ ‘Try to eat five
portions a day.’ All these sayings are very well known. However, fruit and vegetables that
travel hundreds of miles before they reach the supermarket shelves lose many of their
valuable vitamins and minerals.
That’s the main reason farmers’ markets are now so popular, with around 750 of them
operating in the UK alone. After the farmer picks his produce, he drives with it to the market
to set up his stall. There’s no produce that travels more than 30 miles. That means the fruit
and vegetables you buy are fresh from the ground that morning. How many supermarkets
can beat that
If you enjoy eating a few strawberries in the middle of winter, or you’d like to buy a
pineapple for dessert, maybe you should think again. Produce that is not grown in season
contains fewer nutrients and doesn’t have much flavour either! And it’s the same with fruit
coming from overseas. They have less nutritional value because the farmers harvest them
before they are ripe; otherwise they would become too soft to travel.
At a farmers’ market, on the other hand, only seasonal produce is on sale, grown by local
farmers. Don’t expect to exotic produce or a full range of fruit and vegetables all year round.
Do expect to buy quality, fresh and tasty food that is second to none!

1 The fruit and vegetables you buy in the supermarket may be short of ………………………………………
2 There are ...................................................................... in the UK.

4 Fruit that you buy out of season ……………………………………………………………………………………………………….
5 Farmers overseas pick their fruit unripe because they don’t want it to

6 You cannot buy .........................................................................................at farmers’ markets all year.
