How Apeel Works | Learning From Nature

Apeel is a peel.

Apeel keeps produce fresh for longer thanks to the help of a little extra 'peel'. Our plant-based protection slows water loss and oxidation, the primary causes of spoilage.

The anatomy of an orange peel. The cuticle is the outermost layer found in every peel.

Learning from nature - mimicking the cuticle layer.

Made from food to protect your food.

Apeel is composed entirely of purified monoglycerides and diglycerides, edible compounds that can be found in a variety of foods. They are safe to eat as verified by regulatory authorities around the world, including Health Canada, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the World Health Organization (WHO). In fact, they are so safe they can be found in products designed for the most sensitive populations, including infant formula and nutrition shakes for the elderly.

Apeel is made from edible plant oils and composed entirely of mono and diglycerides. Apeel products are non-GMO, include no animal-derived inputs and do not contain wheat, soybean, peanuts, tree nuts (almond nuts, brazil nuts, cashew nuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecan nuts, pine nuts, pistachio nuts or walnuts) sesame seeds, mustard, sulfites, or inputs from milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, or crustacea. We are committed to ensuring the highest standards of purity for our products in accordance with food regulations in your country.

Apeel is colorless, odorless, and tasteless on produce. Just like the cuticle “peel” on the outside of plants, Apeel’s peel is tiny. And even though the ingredient is safe to eat in much higher quantities, the amount of Apeel on the surface of produce is exceptionally low. Even if all of the produce you consumed was treated with Apeel, the contribution of monoglycerides and diglycerides to your daily dietary fat intake would equal less than 1%.

Apeel products are non-GMO, include no animal-derived inputs and do not contain wheat, soybean, corn, peanuts, tree nuts (almond nuts, brazil nuts, cashew nuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecan nuts, pine nuts, pistachio nuts or walnuts) sesame seeds, mustard, sulfites, or inputs from milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, or crustacea. We are committed to ensuring the highest standards of purity for our products in accordance with food regulations in your country.
