Embracing “ugly” food, or food that is bruised or imperfect, has been a growing movement over the last couple years in an effort to help stop food waste. Not only does eating ugly food help the environment, but there were also talks earlier this year that ugly fruits and vegetables might even be the healthier choice.
Now Walmart, America’s largest grocery store, is getting in on the trend. In an announcement on their blog earlier this week, Walmart said that this week they were stocking 300 stores in Florida with the “I’m Perfect” apples. The exterior of these apples might be unfavorable, thanks to Mother Nature, but the texture and taste apparently are the same as beautiful apples. The apples will eventually be available in 12 varietals and sold in five-pound bags.
