A punnet is a term used in Britain, Australia and New Zealand for a basket used for displaying and collecting fruits or flowers. Farmers' markets sometimes sell fruits and berries in plastic punnets. Decorative punnets are often made of felt and seen in flower and craft arrangements.
A punnet may also be a small cube-shaped clear plastic lidded container with holes, rather than a simulated woven basket.
In recent years, the plastic punnet is being replaced by the molded fibre and microflute products so as to encourage the use of renewable resources.
