The power to rescue fruits and vegetables.

In today's world, food waste is a growing concern. While tons of perfectly good food are discarded daily, millions of people around the world face hunger and food insecurity. This discrepancy is what makes Equal Food 's mission so vital.

Our mission is to promote the concept of zero waste. One of the ways we accomplish this mission is by rescuing imperfect fruits and vegetables.

The concept that leads us to Imperfect Fruit and Vegetable Baskets

Ultimately, what does "rescuing" imperfect fruits and vegetables mean? Simply put, these are products that may have minor visual imperfections, such as an unusual shape, uneven size, or surface blemishes, but are still perfectly edible and tasty, in order to be included in our fruit and vegetable baskets. However, these foods are often rejected due to beauty standards imposed by the market, thus creating an obstacle to our zero-waste mission.

This rescue involves giving these foods a second chance. In other words, it's the practice of collecting, acquiring, and delivering these products, which would otherwise be discarded, directly into the hands of consumers. This approach not only promotes zero waste but also offers a range of benefits to consumers (both in terms of their wallets and their health).

Benefits of rescuing imperfect fruits and vegetables:

Zero waste: the most obvious benefit is the direct reduction of food waste. By rescuing imperfect products, we avoid discarding tons of perfectly good food, moving step by step towards zero waste.

Positive environmental impact: zero waste means less pressure on the natural resources used to grow, harvest and transport food, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint.

Financial savings: These imperfect fruit and vegetable baskets are generally more affordable, allowing consumers to save a little more while making healthy foods more accessible.

Social inclusion: the practice of food rescue also helps create opportunities for local farmers, improving their earnings and sustainable practices. In other words, zero waste is also a plus for the environment.

Inspiration in the kitchen: using these fruit and vegetable baskets in recipes can stimulate culinary creativity. Often, these foods can be transformed into delicious and unique dishes.
