I couldn't stress how important it is these days to consume healthy and fresh foods like fruits and vegetables to increase wellness and immunity grade of our family.  It's certainly isn't just a trend but a way of life that has got many of us shifted to since the pandemic.

However, did you know that fruits and vegetables start to lose vitamin content from the moment they are harvested up to the time they are consumed?  These vitamins are key for boosting the immune system, promoting a healthier heart, supporting healthy cognitive brain function and providing natural antioxidants to protect the body from disease.

Good thing I learned from a recent online event I attended that there's a new technology that could help fruits and vegetables stored in the refrigerator stay as nutritious as the day we bought them - HarvestFresh in Beko fridges.

Inspired by nature, powered by light, HarvestFresh is the innovative technology developed for Beko fridges. HarvestFresh uses three colors—green, blue and red—to mimic the 24-hour sun cycle and natural sunlight.

 

Recently launched in the Philippines, HarvestFresh will be available in select  Beko Refrigerator models. Beko, Europe's Europe's No. 1 Appliance Brand, provides technology solutions that helps empower consumers to live healthier. Their whitegoods include refrigerators, cookers, washing machines, ovens and vacuum cleaners.

Total Quality Assurance provider Intertek Laboratories has independently verified that Beko HarvestFresh preserves vitamins A and C, which are two key contributors to a healthy lifestyle, for up to five more days.

 

During the first four hours of the HarvestFresh cycle, the crisper lights will shine blue, mimicking dawn and the first light of day. This is followed by two hours of green light replicating midday and a six hours of red light imitating the more muted tones of dusk. The drawers will then turn dark for 12 hours to represent nighttime.

"We believe in creating technology that responds to the needs of consumers. With HarvestFresh, we are helping them eat healthy and vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables," said Gurhan Gunal, Country Manager of Beko Pilipinas Corporation.

 

HarvestFresh and Beko's other technologies are consistent with its mission of empowering the new generations to live healthier and providing accessible wellbeing for their consumers.
