One item,
a dozen sections

Open any of 100+ fruits, vegetables, roots, herbs and seeds 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.

It starts before the store

Knowing what to buy, picking it well, and eating it right.

A basket built around your life — that keeps changing

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.

Season

What's actually good right now, where you live

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. You choose your zone yourself; the app never asks for your location. The season row is free.

Picking well is half the promise

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.

Ask

Answers from the catalog first

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.

Built like a tool,
not a trap

Most food apps sell your attention or your data. Pick Right helps you pick better produce — and then gets out of your way.

Genuinely free

The picking guide is free for every item. Pro is for going deeper.

No account

Open the app and go. We don't ask for your email or a profile.

No ads

Nothing sits between you and the answer.

Your location stays yours

You choose your zone yourself — the app never asks where you are.

Cited, not crowd-sourced

Every fact traces to a published source — UC Davis, USDA, and food authorities worldwide.

Grows every month

New items arrive automatically — no reinstall, no update to chase.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Is it really free?

Picking is. Every item opens with how to pick it, the red flags, the varieties and storage — no account, no ads. Pro adds the deeper sections, plus more Scan and Chat.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the app and start. We don't ask for an email, a login, or a profile.

Can it suggest produce for me?

Yes. Pick a persona — like the gym-goer or a parent feeding kids — and Pick Right builds a basket around it, refreshed with every month and season.

What happens to my camera scans?

A scan is processed to give you an answer — not to build a profile. With no accounts, there's nothing to harvest. Full details are in our privacy policy.

Is the Ayurveda part medical advice?

No. Ayurveda context is shared descriptively — how a food was traditionally valued — never as a treatment or health claim. For anything medical, see a doctor.

Is it on iPhone and Android?

It's built for both. Neither store listing is live quite yet — the buttons above light up the day each one is. After that, the catalog keeps growing — new items arrive automatically, no reinstall.
