With red, blue and green light, HarvestFresh by Beko mimics the 24-hour sun cycle and natural sunlight, as well as times of darkness, to create a natural environment that keeps fruits and vegetables fresher for longer periods of time. As well as boosting the freshness of produce after it has been harvested, the technology has also been proven to preserve Vitamin A and C in the fruits and vegetables that are stored in this way; lab tests were performed on tomatoes and green peppers, and the results of the study revealed preserved levels of both of the kinds of vitamins.
Beko recently unveiled its HarvestFresh technology at IFA in Berlin, offering a simple way for people to get more out of eating a healthy diet.
