The problem though, is remembering all of them when standing in the produce aisle of the grocery store with a fruit or vegetable in your hand. That's what Harvest is all about. Harvest features an elegant and efficient collection of intelligent tips and techniques for purchasing the best quality fruits and vegetables.

In addition, Harvest also offers instructions on how to best store and keep your perfect produce. Storing has it's own plethora of unobvious tips and tricks! For instance, did you know that garlic is best stored out of the refrigerator, and that corn loses half its sugar content in one day out of refrigeration? Harvest also features pesticide residue levels for each item. To help your budget, you can selectively buy organic based on items which have the highest levels of chemical residue (even after washing and peeling). Furthermore, also included is a full list of pesticide levels from worst to best, so you can see the big picture of how pesticides play out across all produce. During a time where junk foods and soda are more affordable than fruits and vegetables, Harvest aims to boost produce purchasing by helping you skillfully select items and spend money most efficiently. Youll have the knowledge to choose produce with the absolute best quality and maximize freshness and shelf life through optimal storage.
