Rescuing Ugly Vegetables: Are They Less Nutritious? | Zero Waste Kitchen - Part 6 | Full Episode

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but most of us would not eat that apple if it was ugly.
When bruised or mushy, ugly fruits and vegetables are discarded at the processing stage of the supply chain before even making it to the supermarket.
But does this mean that they aren’t as nutritious or taste as good?
Foodies Shu Hao and Joe are both guilty of judging produce by their looks. To get them to see the beauty in the ugly, host Chef Isaac Henry leads them to Mobile Kaybie, a van that goes around different neighbourhoods in Singapore to distribute rescued produce for free!
The trio also heads to a laboratory to check if blemished produce are just as safe and nutritious to eat as perfect looking ones. Then, they learn how to showcase the culinary possibilities made with ugly produce at an eatery.
How will Shu Hao and Joe cope when tasked to cook with as many ugly fruits and vegetables as possible in our zero waste cook-off?

Thanks to videos like these, I'm buying more so-called "ugly food" as long as they aren't slimy, squishy or smelly

Canadian grocery chains are now selling " Imperfect " veggies and fruits for 30%-50% off, and making money instead of throwing them away, I juice them or make jams , or throw the fruits into my carrot cake mix. I'm always thinking of the starving people in 3rd world and developing countries , what a sin that we throw away otherwise good food while the less fortunate starve..

In the UK we call the ugly looking vegetables wonky brand and I always get these why in gods name does a piece of fruit or vegetables have to look perfect to eat a misshaped carrot tastes the same as a perfectly shaped one unless you are a food snob and the ugly ones are cheaper wake up people and I never go by best by dates I check my food we need more shows like this I love watching them god bless all ❤

Food for Thought:
You see I look at a human for comparison. Humans also got some one leg long one leg short, one eye big one eye small. Perhaps due to genetic you have this problem. Likewise sometimes I think the fruit got some genetic era, if not why shouldn't the apple be roughly round instead of having a dent. Does it mean the taste wrong? No, humans also don't have something wrong, your left ear lower than the right ear you may have a pleasant disposition. So....... My own theory, and you know what not that I don't eat mishapped fruits, if it's cheaper you jolly well eat.
