Guinness World Record Winning Vegetables
Enter a world of monstrous legumes, larger than life fruits and hefty roots. Rivalry between competitors is always fierce with super-sized and often record breaking celery, leek, parsnip and cabbages.
Junior growers who have also caught the bug take part in classes for giant sunflower heads.
Adjudicators and representatives from the Guinness World Records attend the championship each year and we see many world records broken for the heaviest or the longest vegetables. Seven Guinness World Records and one UK/EU records were awarded at the 2025 show.
