Food storage app
Pairish is a product- app ecosystem that reinvents food waste as an exciting new resource by cataloging groceries to pickle and food prepping, ultimately keeping food out of the landfill.
Designing to optimize
User Behavior
The Smoothish line works to the same effect: chop up blemished or aging fruits, add smoothie boost power and blend. The app allows you to track 'best used by' dates and even suggests an appropriate date to shift produce over to the freezer.
The Picklish line offers an easy solution to round up leftover vegetables. If users know they'll be unable to finish their produce, they can simply add the vegetables to a mason jar with vinegar and a Picklish packet to create a tasty pickled snack.
