Geography. Where our foods come from.

We went on a research trip to Tesco. We wanted to know what different fruits and vegetables they sold and where in the world they came from.
We found that Tesco are reducing their air miles by stocking lots of local produce such as strawberries, mushrooms, cabbages, carrots, swedes, lettuces and tomatoes. To increase the amount of choice for their customers, however, they also stocked grapes, peaches and courgettes from Spain. As well as:
Produce                                         Country of origin
Lemons, Figs                                Turkey
Oranges                                          South Africa
Limes                                              Brazil
Kiwi                                                 New Zealand
Bananas, coconuts                    Ivory Coast
Sweet potatoes                           U.S.A.
Blueberries                                 Argentina

Then we had a fruit tasting session.
We tried different fruits from around the world - they were nice!

Thank you Tesco - we had a lovely morning!
Here is a short video clip from the BBC that tells us about where in the world some of our food comes from.
