With the rise in living prices and the epidemic, people have more demands for fresh food purchases. For people who rarely go to supermarkets, mass merchandisers or traditional wet markets to buy fresh ingredients in person in the past, not understanding the market makes it easy to accidentally buy expensive food. Today I will share a free app called “Fresh Fruits and Vegetables in Season” developed by a Taiwanese team. You can check the price information of seasonal vegetables, fruits, fish and meat.
Seasonal Fresh Fruits and Vegetables App: Quickly check the reference prices of vegetables, fruits, meat, seafood, and eggs
If you don’t usually cook in person, rarely go shopping for ingredients, or are engaged in related catering businesses, you should be aware of the price trends of vegetables, fruits, seafood, eggs and other ingredients on the market. If you have recently started to have more opportunities to buy in person, but you are worried about accidentally buying ingredients that have recently increased, then it is recommended to check out this “Fresh Fruits and Vegetables in Season” App developed by a Taiwanese team.
The Seasonal Fresh Fruits and Vegetables App will compile the complete wholesale and retail prices of all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables for your reference. It will also compile the average price of the item in the past week and the price changes in the past three years, so that even a novice buyer can become an expert in understanding the market.
The interface of the Fresh Fruits and Vegetables App is quite simple, with various food items arranged in order. Users can also set it to display the “average wholesale price” of the market in the past week, or the “rough estimated retail price” calculated based on 2.5 times the average wholesale price for users’ reference. The rising and falling trends are also sorted next to the reference price of each item. When using it, you can quickly understand the recent price trend of the item.
According to the instructions in the app, the “average wholesale price” is calculated based on the average price of the market in the past week, and is compared with historical prices to determine whether the current price is cheap or expensive. It is divided into four numerical color grades, dark red (relatively cheap), light red (average), light blue (average more expensive), dark blue (relatively expensive). The arrows on the right represent the changes in rise and fall in the past three days, one arrow (more than 5%), two arrows (more than 15%), three arrows (more than 25%). If the arrow points upward, it means that the price has become expensive, and the items will be sorted backward in the list so that everyone can buy relatively cheap ingredients first.
If you want to search for a specific item, just click the search button and enter the content you want to search for. Taking “Spinach” as an example, we will also sort out common aliases on the market. At the same time, the average price of the item in the past seven days and the average monthly price in the past three years are also clear at a glance.
In addition to vegetables and fruits, seafood, fish, meat and eggs can be quickly queried on this app. According to usage habits, users can also adjust the display sorting settings of the seasonal fruits and vegetables App.
If you are going to traditional markets, supermarkets, mass merchandisers, or online shopping platforms to buy fresh fruits and vegetables recently, and you are worried about accidentally buying expensive ingredients or buying ingredients that have recently increased in price, you can use the “Fresh Fruits and Vegetables in Season” App to check first before making a purchase. Of course, you can also use this app’s price trend reference to select items that are relatively cheap and have fallen in price recently. With this app, you can avoid the tragedy of novice buyers accidentally buying too expensive ingredients because they don’t understand the market conditions.
