Why should you rely on fruit and vegetable processing?

The sustainable processing of fruit, vegetables and legumes has many advantages. They are very important for consumers, growers and producers of ready-to-eat products. The most important of these include:

• extended shelf life – fresh fruits and vegetables can spoil quickly, and processing extends their shelf life,
• year-round access – processed fruits and vegetables are available in shops at any time regardless of the harvest season,
• less waste – processing makes use of valuable natural resources and also produces food from items that have defects that disqualify them for individual sale,
• preservation of nutritional value – pasteurisation, drying or cooking preserves a certain amount of their nutritional value for longer,
• access to a variety of products – not everyone has access to fresh fruits and vegetables that grow in distant countries. Processing makes it possible to enjoy them anywhere and at any time of year,
• making meal preparation easier – ready-made purees or juices help to produce a tasty meal more quickly,
• support for local agriculture and food industry – processors and farmers benefit from their harvests, and Greenyard Logistics Poland mainly supports local growers,
• the possibility of longer storage – you can store your preserves for longer without worrying about their quality,
• easier transport and distribution – processed products packed in hermetically sealed packaging or pasteurised can be made available to customers faster and easier.
