Every fruit and vegetable, known inside and out — how to pick a good one, what the red flags are, how to keep it fresh, and how to get the most out of eating it.
Open any fruit, vegetable, root, herb or seed and read it section by section. It starts in the aisle — how to pick a good one, the red flags — and follows the food home. A section appears only when there's something true to put in it.
The solid sections are free on every item, no account needed. Pro is for going deeper.

Knowing what to buy, picking it well, and eating it right.
Point the camera and get the pick-or-pass cues for that exact item, standing right there. Every answer teaches you the cue to trust next time. Your first five scans are free.
Pick a way of living — the gym, feeding kids, night shifts — and the app builds you a basket. Not a fixed list: it changes with every month and every season, and it includes seeds worth folding into a daily routine. So the basket you shop from in month three looks nothing like the one you started with.
The home screen opens on what's in season in your part of the world — what's at its peak, what's arriving, what's on its way out — and crowns one of them today's pick, its picking cue right underneath. Zones cover the US, India, the UK & Europe, Australia & New Zealand, and Mexico. Pick yours, or let your approximate location pick it — never stored. The season row is free.
Apples in the US (South): harvest July–November, at their peak in September.The other half happens at home: storage that keeps food fresh longer, the nutrients worth knowing about, what to pair things with so more of them actually absorb, and taste notes that tell you what to cook. Even the myths you've heard get measured against the science.
Ask a produce question and the answer comes from the app's own cited catalog wherever it can — the same sourced answer every time. AI only fields what the catalog can't. That ordering is the point: answers are honest, not invented.
The produce guide is. Every item opens with the verdict, how to pick it, the red flags, the varieties and storage — no account, no ads. You can also try the rest: five scans, five AI answers, and one persona deck for 24 hours from when you open it, without handing over a card. When those 24 hours end, any scans and answers you haven't used end with them. Pro opens every section and For you, and gives you scans and AI answers every day.
No. Open the app and start. We don't ask for an email, a login, or a profile.
No. You pick your shopping zone yourself. There is an optional "Use my location" row that reads an approximate location — on that tap, and again each time you open the app once you've allowed it — to keep your zone matched to where you shop. Never in the background, never stored, never shared; turning location off for Pick Right in your phone's settings stops it entirely. Skip the row and location is never requested at all.
Yes. Scan names the item in your photo and shows you its picking cues, so you can tell a ripe one yourself. It can name the wrong item in bad light, with several items in the frame, or with something we don't cover yet. If it does, tap a "Not this?" choice when one is offered, or scan again closer with a single item. Chat can be wrong too when it uses AI: those answers are marked "AI answer", and answers from our own guide are marked "Grounded in Pick Right's catalog".
Pro stays on until the end of the period you've paid for, and the free scans and answers don't come back after it ends. Deleting the app doesn't cancel it.
