How do you keep fruit fresh
during shipping? ”
Our Storage
SF strives to bring the satisfaction of eating fruits fresh to all and to achieve this, we try to learn as much about the fruits as possible. This means everything from the soil and region the fruits are grown to the temperature they should be kept during import process and storage.
To successfully deliver fruits at farm-fresh state, we rely on cold chain to maintain the optimal temperature for the fruits during shipping. The moment the fruits are harvested, they are packed and transferred to containers that are RFID-marked, indicating the temperature they should be kept at until they reach Singapore.
Once the containers reach Singapore, they are unloaded at the shortest time possible and the fruits are immediately taken to our cold rooms. Our cold rooms are specially designed and sectioned by different temperature and humidity settings, providing environments similar to that of the fruits’ places of origin. The fruits will be temporarily stored at these cold rooms until we ship them to our stores.
The final leg of the journey is just as important. We use our specially designed SF refrigerator trucks, set at optimal temperature and humidity levels, to send our fruits to the stores. From farm to shop, the warmest place our fruits will ever be is in the palms of your hands!

How to pick
Avocados
- Green black or purplish black
- Soft when pressed, with slight bounce back.
- Australian avocados. They are the best for eating raw.
Mangoes
- Don’t judge a mango by its colour! Touch and smell is the best guide.
- Press to see if its soft. If it fragrant, it’s ready to eat.
- Brown doesn’t mean bad. Too pretty isn’t good too because it may have had help chemically.
Grapes
- Look at the stem. If it looks fresh, green with a bit of colour, it’s sweet.
- Avoid bruised grapes and dried, brown stems.
- Try to store grapes on its own, away from other fruits.
