Sun-tanned cauliflowers and knobbly spuds - the heatwave veg that's good to eat

British shoppers can expect to see an increase in imperfectly shaped vegetables, such as sun-tanned cauliflowers and knobbly potatoes, due to the repeated heatwaves affecting the country. The unusual appearance of these vegetables is a result of the extreme weather conditions, but they are still safe to eat and nutritious. Despite their irregular shapes, these wonky vegetables are being promoted as a viable and sustainable alternative to perfectly formed produce. The heatwave-affected vegetables are expected to become a more common sight in British supermarkets.
