Review: Perfectly Imperfect Produce

By Jenny Steadman February 21, 2018

Product was provided to me for review. Opinions are strictly my own. 

Have you ever noticed how uniform the produce is at your grocery store? Items are usually the same size, color, shiny and unblemished. We tend to shop and eat with our eyes which is why sellers put out only the best. But, this is not how nature grows food. 40% of food grown in the United States is thrown away simply because it doesn't look perfect, even though it has the same taste and health benefits.

Cleveland-based Perfectly Imperfect Produce has taken this matter into their own hands by selling this imperfect produce and delivering it right to your door! Last week I received a small subscription box full of beautiful produce! 

Prior to delivery, I received an email with what to expect and some recipes. The produce is fresh, gorgeous and an amazing deal for food that would otherwise be thrown away. For $15 plus shipping ($5 in Cuyahoga County, $10 in bordering counties), you too can have a box of beautiful fruits and vegetables delivered right to your door every Friday. Sign up for a weekly, bi-weekly subscription or just a one time trial!
