Why do raspberries from Chile have the same grade as raspberries from the UK?
Generally, transport (unless done by aeroplane) contributes only a rather small fraction to our food’s environmental impact and sometimes, good growing conditions can balance out the transportation impact (for example, growing raspberries outdoors in natural conditions in a warm country may be better than in artificially warmed conditions in a cold country). Therefore, we currently do not consider the origin of the ingredients in this tool and use averages instead.
