Mis-shaped Vegetables. Well done Asda !!

Post by Richard »

After all the recent discussion about so many vegetables being thrown away because they aren't perfectly shaped enough for Supermarket shelves, at least Asda are doing something about it - and saving the customer a bit of money as well !

Article in the Guardian

Some people want to grow their own vegetables, they'd show off to the neighbours whatever the shape was.

The answer is in the taste and how they are grown !

I think Tescos & possibly Sainsburys have been doing this for a while with value packs of e.g. carrots. But you have to be careful to look them over and not store them too long as they may be half carrots or blemished.

I believe Sainsbury's are selling random egg sizes in boxes.
I also hear that some customers sneakily swap them around to get the bigger eggs !!!

All in the game !

I bought some mis-shaped carrots in Morrisons a while ago. About time too.
