Imperfect Produce (May 10, 2019)

We received our first box of organic fruits and vegetables from Imperfect Produce on Friday.  The company rescues some of the 20 billion pounds of fruit and veggies that go to waste on farms every year, oftentimes because the produce is too small, slightly blemished, or misshapen enough to be rejected by standard grocery stores.  So far, Imperfect Produce has saved 40 million pounds of food, donated 2.2 million (to food banks?), resulting in saving 1.2 billion gallons of water and 110 million pounds of carbon dioxide.  We're trying. On Mondays, we select what will be delivered on Fridays, and can skip weeks if we want to.

What do you think?  I had the broccoli at lunch and it was fresh and delicious.
