Online grocery shopping has grown exponentially in popularity over the past year. Now more than ever, it is common to select and purchase foods and drinks from the grocery store with the click of a mouse. As convenient and mindful of the current health situation as this option is, there are some foods that are better off purchased in person than they are on the web. Here are some foods to avoid when online shopping.

Fresh Fruits

Picking out fresh fruits is an intensely personal process, with people having preferences for certain appearances and points of ripeness when choosing articles like bananas and mangos. Unfortunately, simply selecting fresh fruit online does not allow you to judge the product yourself, and it ends up being really risky.

Fresh Vegetables

Much of the same that can be said about fruit applies to vegetables as well. No one wants to place an order for a bundle of fresh spinach and have it delivered to your car or arrive at your home half-wilted and inedible.

Sushi

The quality of grocery store sushi is often underrated, but the truth of the matter is that ordering it from a grocery store online is not the greatest idea. This is yet another product that you should inspect yourself before buying in order to be sure of its quality and freshness, and not entrust it to someone else.
