The Romans introduced new vegetables: asparagus, cabbages, carrots, celery, garlic, leeks, onions, peas, radishes, turnips, shallots. They introduced many herbs, such as bay, basil, rosemary, thyme and savoury mint and herbs that were used in brewing and for medicinal purposes. They brought new and more productive grains and bread became important in the British diet.

The Romans also introduced new breeds of farm animals and game: white cattle, brown hare, chickens, guinea fowl, pheasants, and rabbits were probably introduced as farmyard animals. The fruit they introduced included apples (as opposed to crab apples), grapes, cherries, mulberries and Pears. Walnuts and sweet chestnuts were also introduced.
