The story of Best Fruit Now
It started out as a labour of love for Philadelphia fruit wholesaler Tom Kovacevich, who wanted to educate people about the fruit they were buying. So, in 2008, he started his Best Fruit Now blog to do just that.
“So much of what is offered in stores is grown to LOOK good, but not necessarily to TASTE good,” says Tom. “I wanted people to know that they could do better.”
This is more than just a matter of what is “in season” in a generic way. There are good years and bad for fruit varieties. Because Tom is trying everything that passes through his market, he can say for sure what is worth buying. One particular variety of pear, for example, might be good this month, while another expected hit might be disappointing.
This information is useful enough when you read it at home, but much more valuable when you are out and about, fruit shopping at the store. It’s the sort of knowledge has mobile app written all over it. And so, the Best Fruit Now app was born. We hope that you find it worthwhile.
