PROBLEM

Fruits and vegetables are often contaminated with pesticides (70%), posing a health risk to consumers. The peel, which contains 30% of the nutritional properties, is often discarded to avoid pesticides, reducing the nutritional value of the food.

It effectively removes viruses, pesticides, and bacteria, ensuring you enjoy healthy produce without discarding peels or other natural parts. Designed with sustainability in mind, it uses just 1.5 liters of water per week. Ideal for kitchen countertops or co-working spaces where access to a tap may be limited, this washer is perfect for convenient and eco-friendly snacking.

VALUE DELIVERED
