The supermarket said the offer supports UK growers who are dealing with a sudden surplus of ripe strawberries following a spell of sustained sunshine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Julie Ashfield, chief commercial officer at Aldi UK, said: &#8220;This summer&#8217;s sunshine has helped produce a bumper crop of British strawberries, with a large volume expected to ripen at the same time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a data-ylk=\"slk:READ MORE UK number plate change from September 1 with drivers risking \u00a31,000 fine;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.birminghammail.co.uk\/motoring\/motoring-news\/uk-number-plate-change-september-34482839\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">READ MORE UK number plate change from September 1 with drivers risking \u00a31,000 fine<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;By cutting the price we&#8217;re helping our growers sell more juicy British strawberries, while giving customers even better value on a seasonal favourite.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Aldi is making it even easier for shoppers to pick up great-value, seasonal British strawberries, and support our suppliers who will continue to receive the same contracted price for their fruit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In June it was reported sales of strawberries are up 240% for 9cm pots and the weather has encouraged smaller but earlier, sweeter and more bountiful crops in gardens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Guy Barter, the chief horticulturist adviser for the RHS, said: &#8220;With a changing climate, gardeners are more confident in the potential of a strong crop and seeking out more unusual varieties including wineberries, honeyberries and pink currants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Wild strawberry is a native British plant, while the garden strawberry is a hybrid of two American varieties. The wild berries are small and intensely sweet, and were once the only type eaten in Britain. T<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Experts have said previously that, easy to grow and impossible not to love, strawberries are the fruit of summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you can find a pick-your-own, you&#8217;ll enjoy them at their best, otherwise don&#8217;t be afraid to smell them in the shop as they should be deeply fruity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aldi has confirmed a change for shoppers buying British strawberries in August.
