How to store fresh fruit & vegetables

Fresh produce does not all require the same storage conditions. Some products perform better refrigerated, while others may be better kept in a cool, dry or ventilated location.

Storage requirements can also differ according to ripeness, packaging and the particular fruit or vegetable.

• Use highly perishable fruit and vegetables first.
• Check produce regularly and remove damaged items where appropriate.
• Avoid unnecessary excess moisture where it may accelerate deterioration.
• Rotate older produce forward before newly purchased stock.
• Follow product-specific storage guidance where available.

Fresh produce for restaurants, catering & hospitality

Fresh fruit and vegetables are essential ingredients for restaurants, cafés, hotels, workplace kitchens, event caterers and other professional food businesses.

They can support breakfast service, salads, garnishes, soups, side dishes, desserts, buffets and complete menu preparation.

• Restaurants and cafés
• Hotels and guest accommodation
• Event caterers and pop-ups
• Workplace food service
• Professional kitchens
• Buffets and entertaining

Nicol Retailer also provides broader foodservice options through Catering & Bulk Food and its professional foodservice offering.

Seasonal fruit & vegetable shopping

Fresh produce availability can vary during the year, and individual varieties may be more plentiful at different times or sourced from different growing regions.

A flexible meal plan makes it easier to adapt to current availability. Where a specific fruit or vegetable is unavailable, consider whether another variety can perform a similar role in the recipe.
