We live in a highly advanced age where almost everything we require to go about our daily lives is available either at a press of a smartphone button or a few miles away at some multi-aisled supermarket. Right from home basics, kitchen appliances, and food to clothes, medicines, and services. Moving in on that list for Indian consumers is pre-sliced fruits. Yep, we’ll soon have access to pre-peeled and sliced fruits at a supermarket near us, courtesy German company FOOD freshly, which deals in fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.

The company recently shook hands with exotic fruits importer IG International and will launch sliced fruits under the name of FOOD freshly India that will be packaged to remain fresh for 10 days. And under the collaborative umbrella, IG International will look after fruit procurement and marketing while FOOD freshly will help in provide technology, equipment, and R&D.
