Here at Foodlum, we want to teach you how to properly store your fresh produce, because no one wants to waste perfectly good food or money. With a little bit of knowledge, you can buy with confidence and know which fruits and veggies need refrigerated storage or are fine on the countertop, and how long produce actually lasts.

As Aussies, we genuinely love our Apples. Locally, we grow over 1.6 billion apples a year and we eat over 200 million kilos of apples a year, only second to Bananas. Prime apple eating time in Australia is the late afternoon, when we’re looking for something nutritious, filling and tasty to get us through till dinner time.
