“Tossing vegetables for cosmetic reasons is bad for farmers and the planet, and yet we waste nearly half of all food,” says Jordan Figueiredo, the founder of the Ugly Fruit and Veg Campaign. Stores shun mishappen tomatoes,bruised apples and other funny-looking produce, thinking consumers won’t bite, but they’re just as tasty and nutritious as perfect versions. The good news: More supermarkets like Fairprice are selling these fruits and veggies – at a steep discount. Save cash and the environment? How delicious.
