Grocery Stores In Canada Are Selling Ugly Produce At Discounted Prices To Spread Awareness About Food Waste
Attractive fruit have had it too good for too long.
It’s no surprise that Canada, like any other first world country, has a history of wasting a ton of food annually.
And a large portion of this food is comprised of fresh produce that is either “misshapen”, “blemished”, or “undersized”.
To spread awareness about these heaps of wasted food, Loblaw-owned grocery stores (Loblaws, Real Canadian Superstore, No Frills) in Ontario and Quebec launched its “Naturally Imperfect” brand of produce.
Then the imperfect fruits and vegetables are sold up to 30% off the regular price of their normal-shaped counterparts.
Take a look at some of the adorable, slightly mutated fruits and veggies you could find in grocery store near you!
