Imperfect Food

Hate waste. Love imperfect.

Fruit and vegetables that have been discarded, simply because they don’t look perfect, account for a serious share of the global food waste problem. Most of the time, misshaped produce is already separated out during the harvest and doesn’t even make it to the market, only because it does not meet our aesthetic expectations. Too bent, too straight, too knobbly, too smooth – there are numerous reasons why so many perfectly edible apples, carrots and the like end up in the bin. However, these less attractive products taste just as delicious and, once you’ve chopped them up and added them to your delicious meal, it doesn’t even matter what they’ve looked like before anyway.

Extra arms, extra ears, extra flavour

​​​​Who cares about lumps, bumps and irregular shapes? It’s the flavour that counts, isn’t it?

It all starts while shopping

You’d love to open a sack of potatoes and find a heart-shaped one, wouldn’t you? And yet, many food items don’t even make it to the supermarket simply for such cosmetic reasons. The ones that do, like the crooked cucumber or the dented apple, often remain on the shelf. This doesn’t affect the flavour, though, and if an odd appearance doesn’t matter to you, you can buy imperfect fruit and vegetables at weekly markets, farm shops or even directly from the producer. Besides, more and more shops are opening in many towns and cities, selling ‘unpackaged’ food or rescued ‘imperfect’ produce, fresh from the farmers, often at much lower prices. This not only saves you money but also cuts down on packaging waste. If you prefer convenience, you can also have fruit and vegetable boxes delivered directly to your home.

Beauty’s only skin deep…

Groceries are valuable, even if they wouldn’t necessarily win a beauty contest. These tips will help you see that cosmetic imperfections aren’t important at all and that, in the end, it’s the flavour that matters most.

Salad & Sauces

Small flaws? Chop them up, that’s all!

Fruit and vegetables are rejected because of flaws that are often purely cosmetic, usually caused by the weather, among other things. When chopped up and added to a salad or a pasta sauce, however, these natural blemishes go completely unnoticed.

Juices & Smoothies

Ugly fruit juice? Never heard of it!

Optical flaws have no influence on flavour and quality. Dented apples and old, piled up carrots are still good to make a delicious and healthy smoothie or for squeezing juice from them. Add a dash of lemon, honey and ginger, and you have a healthy treat.

Eat the greens

It doesn’t have to be bright green…

Even if the leaves might look damaged or wilted, the vegetable itself is still of perfect quality. Did you know: you can press great juices not only from fruit but also from the green leaves of kohlrabi, radishes, beetroot or carrots.

Jam & Stewed Fruit

Don’t throw away bruised fruit, cook it!

Plums, apricots and peaches are often bruised in transit. But, as long as the skin’s still intact, you can easily boil them down into jams, chutneys or compotes, meaning they’ll last even longer.

Soups & Cakes

Quirky shapes make for fantastic bakes

Whether lumpy, bumpy, bent or slightly damaged – irregularly shaped vegetables are perfect for soups, sauces and salads. Overripe bananas or carrots give your smoothies a deliciously sweet, creamy texture or star in banana bread and healthy carrot cake.

Túl sok értékes élelmiszer végzi a szemetesben

A világszerte előállított élelmiszerek egyharmada hulladékként végzi. Hogy még szemléletesebbek legyünk: körülbelül Kína méretű területen olyan élelmiszereket termesztenek, amelyeket soha nem fogyasztunk el. Ennek számos oka lehet: a rosszul megválasztott betakarítási időpont, az éghajlati viszonyok, a nem megfelelő tárolóhely vagy a nem megfelelő szállítás, hogy csak néhányat említsünk. Továbbá az almának vagy a sárgarépának például meg kell felelnie bizonyos esztétikai normáknak az alak, szín vagy méret tekintetében. A gyökérzöldségek, a gumósok és az olajos termések után a zöldség-gyümölcs kategória felelős a legtöbb olyan élelmiszerért, amely nem jut el az üzletekbe a betakarítás után.

A legfontosabb úgyis az íz

Semmi sem tökéletes, ahogy szokták mondani… a késztermék azonban az!

Végső soron a tápanyagok – mint például a vitaminok és ásványi anyagok – számítanak, és természetesen az íz. Az alábbiakban láthatja, hogy milyen tökéletes és ízletes lehet egy étel még akkor is, ha az furcsa alakú gyümölcsökből és zöldségekből készült.

A Braun neve egybeforrt a tartós termékekkel és a fenntartható dizájnnal. Emellett az élelmiszer-hulladék elleni küzdelemből is szeretnénk kivenni a részünket. Lehet, hogy az út során megtett apró lépések nem mindig tökéletesek – akárcsak a gyümölcs és a zöldség –, de mindegyik közelebb visz minket a megoldáshoz.
