I tried out imperfect produce too...
After seeing the post by @iseeyouvee regarding Imperfect Produce, I had to check it out myself!

I love making bit soups or stews so this sounded like a great idea to me. Who cares how a vegetable looks when it is chopped up and soaked in stock?!
It comes in a very minimalist box that is left at the door with all of the fruits and vegetables sitting at the bottom.

Inside:
I pulled out everything and was quite pleased with what I saw considering that the delivery is only around $20 (food and delivery cost included).
This looked like a perfect mix to make a soup so I took these from the new vegetables:
- Sweet Potatoes
- Regular Potatoes
- Carrots
- Red/Yellow Peppers
And combined with other things I had laying around:
- Ground Beef
- Vegetable and Beef Stock
- Garlic
- Onions
- Spices
- Butter
- Somewhat cut up spaghetti noodles (only added at the very end so it isn't too soft)
- Celery
So it started out looking like this:
And a few hours later, it looks like this:
Delicious and the whole thing lasted me almost two weeks!
I would definitely recommend checking out Imperfect Produce if it is in you area. A great, cheap way to add some healthy fruits and vegetables to your diet.
Thanks for stopping by!
I'm so glad you tried and enjoyed this.
For sure - thanks again for sharing! It will definitely be a part of my food purchasing plans going forward...
I must try this. You are right that it doesn't matter what the vegetable looked like once you chop it up.
