Going to the market to buy fresh fruit and vegetables is not always possible – combine working hours with market hours or be reduced to having to buy from the supermarket by falling back on the quality of large retailers. Often, online solutions for receiving fruit and vegetables at home involve subscriptions or ordering boxes containing ingredients that are difficult to use, with little variety and in huge quantities.
