Remarkable Rejects saves imperfect food and delivers them to your doorstep

The Remarkable Rejects food company is saving consumers money and preventing valuable food from going to waste. The founder of Remarkable Rejects realized there was a great business opportunity to sell what is un-sellable to the market. He notes that his customers are happy to sacrifice aesthetics for cost savings. While many of these fruits and vegetables may be supplied to food shelters and food processing companies, a lot goes unused and is left to rot due to the costs and challenges of processing them. Customers are delighted with the novelty of getting a surprise fruit and vegetable delivery and trying new recipes. With many of us still working and cooking at home due to Covid, this is a fantastic option to eat healthy, get groceries delivered to your door, prevent waste, and realize cost savings. 

“Rejects” of past weeks include zucchini that are too big, apples that are too small, and cucumbers that are too curvy to squeeze into standardized packaging.
