Six food delivery services to try in the UAE

Get the family’s fruit and veg delivered straight to your door

Wherever you live in the UAE, you can get all your fruit and veg delivered straight to your door.

We can get most things in the UAE with the click of a button, or more specifically, the opening of an app.

Groceries are no exception – and let’s face it, much as we love walking up and down the supermarket aisles, when you have a little one in tow it’s not quite as easy, nor pleasurable.

Much better to order all your organic necessities from the comfort of your sofa, desk or while you’re sitting in the car waiting for the school bell to ring at pick up.

And who knows, you might even be able to get your kids to eat their five a day – happy shopping.

Farmbox
A short supply chain means your delicious produce arrives on your doorstep literally the day after it’s been harvested and air shipped meaning it’s still fresh and full of nutrients. As an added bonus delivery is free all across Dubai, so without having to battle a small protesting child into a car seat or navigate the sweetie aisle at the supermarket (you know what we’re talking about mums and dads), you can get all the good stuff without the hassle.

Green Heart Organic Grocery
Locally grown and harvested fresh fruit and veggies – all organic of course – delivered to your door. Greenheart offers fresh produce, grown from heirloom seeds in carefully monitored soil and as well as fruit and veg, you can also add organic free-range eggs and raw honey to your shopping list, too. Delivery is free for all orders over AED 100.

Kibsons
Fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy and pantry items, plus a load more besides… that’s what you can order from Kibsons. The online grocer now delivers the pre-packed, super fresh lunch-box ingredients – along with a step-by-step recipe card – right to your door so all you have to do is unpack them and turn them into something delicious and nutritious. Plus non-meat eating children and vegan families are also catered for.

NRTC Fresh
NRTC Fresh offers up a wide range of locally grown and imported fruit and vegetables, with free delivery on spend of more than Dhs80. While next-day delivery is standard, it’s also possible to get your order on the same day if it’s placed before 2pm. Prices are very reasonable, with red onions coming in at Dhs2 per kilogram and strawberries available for Dhs4.50 per pack. And for the lazier vegetable eaters among us, there are lots of pre-cut options ranging from julienned peppers to peeled potatoes and shredded carrots. All of the produce goes through “strict and frequent” quality checks at every step of the process, with NRTC Fresh promising customers “quality and freshness”. It really might end up being the apple of your eye.

Vegberry
We’re all searching for the freshest, healthiest food to feed our families and, because of early school starts, jobs and hectic schedules, when that quality produce is delivered to your door, that’s an added bonus. If your order comes to more than Dhs79 (and with so many delicious products on offer, it will), you get your delivery absolutely free. The kind folk at Vegberry even have their own lab where they check for any nasties like pesticides and nitrates as well as PH, vitamins and Brix before sending out your order to you. and did we mention that your box gets delivered on the same day you order it? That’s dinner tonight sorted.
