The best way to think of Apeel’s plant-based protection is that it’s an extra “peel” made by adding another layer of what naturally exists on the fruits and veggies already.

Apeel has two plant-based coating products: Edipeel and Organipeel.

Edipeel is for conventional produce, and is made of purified mono- and diglycerides that have been derived from plant oils to mimic the natural protection already existing on fruits and vegetables. One ingredient only - that’s the full list!

Organipeel is our OMRI Listed product for organic produce. Organic producers typically have more limited tools for keeping produce fresh compared to their conventional counterparts, and because of this, we developed a product that uses citric acid to defend against microorganisms that can impact the quality of produce. The same mono- and diglycerides used in Edipeel act as a medium to distribute the citric acid onto the surface of produce.

By simply applying a microscopic amount to produce (usually after it has been picked), Apeel creates a breathable layer that slows spoilage.
