A proper diet is one of the pillars of a healthy life. Eating fruits and vegetables is a part of this but to maximize the health benefits of these food items, they need to be at their freshest. This is why proper storage is crucial — it keeps the nutrients intact and also avoids spoilage.
Beko recently launched its HarvestFresh refrigerator series. It is a new line of refrigerators that the company claims would help preserve the freshness of produce. It does this through the use of three colors, green, blue and red, to mimic the 24-hour sun cycle and natural sunlight. This combination simulates the day light cycle—including times of darkness—to recreate a natural living environment for fruits and vegetables. This technology helps maintain vitamin A and vitamin C levels in fruits and vegetables much longer.
This preserves vitamins A and C for up to five additional days, as verified and approved by leading Total Quality Assurance provider Intertek Laboratories.
“Consumers’ preference for natural and healthy food is no longer just a growing trend. It is a way of life. HarvestFresh is part of our commitment to doing all we can to help make their lives easier and healthier,” said Gurhan Gunal, Country Manager of Beko Pilipinas Corporation.
During the first four hours of the 24-hour HarvestFresh cycle, the crisper lights will shine blue, mimicking dawn and the first light of the day. This is followed by two hours of green light replicating midday, and a further six hours of red light imitating the more muted tones of dusk. The drawers then turn dark for 12 hours to represent nighttime.
HarvestFresh not only preserves vitamin content, but also helps keep fruit and vegetables fresher and thus, reduces the number of times you have to go out and shop for food. This is very important in these times, particularly as the public has been urged to stay at home if they can.
