Why Order Vegetables Online in Manila: Tips for Best Quality
More households in Metro Manila now order vegetables online instead of going to the wet market or the supermarket. Here is why, and how to get the best quality when you do.
1. You save time
A trip to the market or supermarket in Makati, BGC or Ortigas can easily take two hours with traffic, parking and queues. Ordering online takes a few minutes, and the vegetables come to your door.
2. You see the price first
On the Curated Foods order form each item shows its current price and the form adds up an estimated total as you go, including delivery. No surprises at the counter.
3. You get produce handled for restaurants
A supplier that also serves restaurants has to meet chef standards. That means fewer wilted greens and bruised tomatoes than in a crowded supermarket shelf that customers have handled all day.
4. You can find hard-to-get items
Arugula, kale, lollo rosso, asparagus, shiitake, fresh thyme and Hass avocado are often missing from neighbourhood shops. An online vegetable supplier keeps them in its regular range.
Tips for ordering vegetables online
- Plan for the week: order greens and herbs for the first half of the week and sturdier vegetables like carrots, cabbage and potatoes for the second.
- Order by weight sensibly: 250 to 500 grams of salad greens is plenty for two people for a few days.
- Combine orders: delivery is free from ₱5,000, so neighbours and offices often order together.
- Add notes: if you need ripe avocados for tomorrow or green ones for later in the week, say so in the notes.
