punnets

Small fruit baskets

Punnets are small, shallow containers used for selling soft fruits and vegetables—strawberries, raspberries, cherry tomatoes.

The word is primarily British; Americans would more likely say *carton* or *container*.

I picked up a punnet of blueberries at the farmers' market.
