Fresh Fruits for Delivery or Pickup
The Instacart buying guide to fresh fruit
Fresh fruit is an important part of nearly any diet. You can juice your fruits for a fresh, nutrient-packed beverage, blend them up in a smoothie, sprinkle them over oatmeal, add them to salads, eat them raw, and more. Get all the fresh fruit you need through Instacart, and save yourself the trip to the store. Your busy schedule doesn't always include time for frequent trips to the store to make sure you always have fresh produce on hand. With Instacart, you can enjoy same-day delivery of many of your favorite fresh fruit items.
What to look for in fresh fruit
The best fruit is plump and firm with a sweet fragrance. Any signs of bruising or damage indicate that the fruit will spoil more quickly. The smaller a piece of fruit is, the sweeter it will typically be. Heavier fruit usually indicates more juice. When you're shopping through Instacart, you can include directions for your shopper to help them find the best fruit for your needs.
You might aim for unripe fruit if you're not planning to eat it right away, or opt for bananas that are slightly overripe if you're planning to bake with them. It's easy to let your Instacart shopper know exactly what you want.
Organic vs. conventional fruit
Organic farmers use natural fertilizers and no chemical pesticides. However, organic fruit may still have trace amounts of pesticide residue because these chemicals can become airborne and travel from other surrounding farms. Organic farmers may use mulching for weeds, plant rotation to improve soil quality, and predatory insects or insect traps for pest control.
Some fruits carry higher levels of pesticides than others. The fruits that tend to have more residual pesticides are strawberries, nectarines, apples, grapes, peaches, cherries, pears, and tomatoes. You may get slightly more benefits from buying these particular fruits from an organic source.
You can find fresh fruits for everything from school lunches to homemade pies and pastries by shopping through Instacart. Simply download the app or visit the website and start filling your cart with delicious groceries!
