Apeel
More time to enjoy, waste less
You can enjoy EAT ME avocados straight away. But you don't have to: you can keep these delicious avocados for longer. Our avocados have been coated with a plant-based, protective layer that extends the shelf life of each ready-to-eat avocado. So you have more time to enjoy the most delicious, ready-to-eat avocados and can contribute to winning the fight against food waste. Apeel protection is plant-based, tasteless and odourless.
So, what is Apeel protection, exactly?
The longer fruit ripens, the more moisture evaporates from the fruit and the more oxygen enters it. As a result, all fruits will spoil sooner or later. Apeel creates a second peel around the fruit. This protection forms a barrier that slows down evaporation and oxidation. In an avocado, this creates a so-called 'microclimate' that extends the ripening process, so that the avocado stays delicious for longer.

Ingredients: plant-based
Apeel uses materials that naturally occur in the peels, seeds, and pulp of all fruits and vegetables to create a protective extra layer. This means that only plant-based substances are used, which are applied on the surface of the produce. And that means you can eat every avocado coated with Apeel just like a regular one. You won’t taste, smell or see it.
You don't even need to wash off the plant-based protective layer. Apeel is 100% safe and environmentally responsible. Even under strict EU regulations, Apeel is permitted in every member country. You can recognise ready-to-eat, EAT ME Apeel avocados thanks to the distinctive, purple sticker with the EAT ME and Apeel logo.

The best way to store ready-to-eat Apeel avocados is in the fridge.
