About me
Imperfect is a home and office produce delivery service focused on providing affordable fruits and vegetables to consumers. We do this by sourcing "ugly" fruits and vegetables that usually go to waste on farms. These fruits and veggies taste the exact same on the inside but look a little "wonky" on the outside. Customers can choose from a range of different produce boxes, each of which contain an assortment of fruits and vegetables, depending on what is in season. Each week, customers get their order delivered to their door or pick up from one of our pick-up sites across the Bay Area!

DietID_TeamDietitians Yes!! And it lasts for 5 days, but you can freeze it for even longer shelflife
Use that LEMON PEEL!
1. Grate the peel and sprinkle onto a meal or drink!
2. Lemon peels contain 10 times more vitamins than the juice!

Gustiamo An essential ingredient in so many Italian recipes, including pasta with bottarga, one of our favs. :) :)

Brianne Yes! @gustiamo and @imperfectproduce - I freeze my lemon peels and then grate them whenever I need them. It's much easier to grate frozen lemon peels =) #NoFoodWaste

"Lots of tasty and nutritious produce ends up in landfills because it fails to meet retail beauty standards. Now, Whole Foods and Giant Eagle say they're ready to pilot sales of these wonky edibles."
