As we always say at Rawfood Sri Lanka, the freshest, best tasting fruit is the one that is eaten right after being picked from its branch. Much to everyone’s dismay, this is not the way we typically get to enjoy our fruits. Many people ask us how our fruits still taste so sweet and fresh even when purchased through our online-store, so we thought we would let you in on our little secret.
Our fruits are left on the tree longer, in order to maximize sweetness and flavor. The longer a fruit hangs on the tree, the more sugar it produces.
We harvest only once a week on Sunday and then the fruits will get packed for you on mondays to reach you the same day or on the next morning at the least.
Therefore you can have a fresh start into the week. When you order during the week the fruit is still hanging in the tree waiting for us to personally pick it for you 😉
Once the fruit is handpicked, all sugar production subsides. We have the advantage of tree-ripening, because all of our fruits are sold locally. Fruits that are shipped long distances have to be picked earlier, so they will not bruise and blemish. While these fruits still might look pretty, they are usually not near as sweet because of being harvested prematurely.
