Soaring energy prices and bad weather have led to a salad crisis in the UK as supermarkets ration tomatoes and cucumbers

• The UK's largest supermarket chain put a cap of three sales per customer on salad ingredients like tomatoes and cucumbers.
• High energy costs and bad weather conditions have contributed to the food shortage.
• Britons should eat turnips as store shelves remain low on certain veggies, the UK's environment secretary suggested.

The UK is having a salad crisis right now as high energy costs and bad weather hit certain vegetable growers.

The country's largest supermarket, Tesco, has been rationing certain fruits and vegetables, setting a limit of three sales per customer on salad staples like tomatoes and cucumbers.

Environment Secretary Thérèse Coffey said on Thursday that the shortages could last another month, and even suggested that Brits switch to turnips and other seasonal veggies for the time being.
