A brilliant idea, executed with clever marketing. Hope it catches on in OZ.

I wish they sold the fruit and veg like that here as I would buy them.
Thanks BZB :-*

Yes, it's a brilliant idea.  I have been saying for years that the various food marketing authorities are their own worst enemies because they always 'pushed' the perfect fruit / vegetable - emphasising looks, not taste - and anything that didn't meet their imagined perfect standard was unacceptable.  I hope one of the big chains here catch on to this wonderful initiative.  Our farmers certainly need this sort of support as well.

I just shared that on Facebook. As if there isn't enough waste without throwing away fresh fruit and verges because they look different.  Perfect world mentality!

Great minds think alike  ;D ;D  I've shared it, too.  Can you just imagine the "Big 2" doing this and claiming, "Look what wonderful things we're doing now!"  lol

There's a store that I often pop into on my way home when I have a casual day's work at school.  They have a set of shelves near the exit door with marked down, "imperfect" stock . ... it's my first port of call . . . ;)

That video popped up on my Facebook feed last night too -  great idea! I often wonder what happens to all the ugly food...the stuff I grow in the garden looks nothing like those perfect carrots etc.

I love it. I don't know why the ugly fruit and veg aren't donated to food charities that do soup kitchens etc.

A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.
