🍏 Freshness Matters

Why Our 48-Hour Model Makes a Big Difference

Most supermarket fruit and veggies are 7–14 days old by the time you take them home.
Most of ours are 48 hours from harvest to your kitchen — and the nutritional difference is huge.

Here’s what studies show:

🟢 Within 48 hours of harvest

Produce still holds around 90% of its nutrients, especially vitamins like Vitamin C, folate, and antioxidants.

🔵 After 2 weeks (typical supermarket age)

Nutrient levels drop sharply, especially in delicate items:

• Leafy greens: lose 50–70% of Vitamin C

• Broccoli: loses 40–60%

• Berries: often lose 50%+

• Beans/peas: 40–55% loss

• Tomatoes/capsicum: 15–30% loss

• Root veg: more stable (10–15% loss)

Overall:
👉 48 hours old = ~90% nutrient retention
👉 2 weeks old = ~50–70% nutrient retention

This is why Jointly produce tastes better, lasts longer, and helps kids eat more fresh food — it’s simply fresher and more nutritious when it arrives at your home.

💚 Jointly Nourish Update

Our friends at CCI Rosebud have temporarily closed their pantry for the rest of the year to complete a deep clean and renovation. While that continues, we’ve seen an incredible uptake from both Mt Martha Pantry and Somerville — they took the lot this week!

It’s exciting to see more families choosing fresh fruit and veggies — healthy really is catching on, and that’s great news for everyone involved.

If you know of anyone in your Hub community who’s doing it tough or could use a hand, please let us know. We’re always happy to have part of our 5 % giving allocation directed locally through you.

Thanks to your continued support, we were able to share $346 worth of fresh produce (at cost) with local organisations doing amazing work — including $95 donated directly by our Jointly community. 🙌

Here’s where the produce went this week:

• CCI Back on Track

• Mt Martha Hub

• Somerville families in need via the Somerville hub (St Andrews Anglican Church)

  
  

Each box is more than just food — it’s a reminder that our community is stronger when we look after one another.

Thank you for making Nourish possible 💛
