Israel, the land flowing with milk and honey, is wasting millions of tons of its food every year. In fact, according to Leket Israel, the country’s leading food rescue organization, over one third of all the food that it produces gets thrown away.

An Israeli startup is looking to put a dent in this statistic by providing bakeries, delis and other food establishments with a platform to specifically sell the food products remaining at the end of the day, which would otherwise be trashed.

SpareEat’s app lets Israelis purchase “surprise bags” of pastries, sandwiches, produce and more at heavily discounted prices, helping food businesses prevent food waste while still turning a profit.

Unlike other food-saving apps, it does not specify what the user will receive in each bag that they buy. Instead, it gives descriptions of the possible options they could receive, as food establishments cannot guarantee which products will remain in stock at the end of the day.
