Given a choice between a perfectly shaped, bright red apple and a misshapen, dull red apple, which one would you pick? In all probability, you would pick the prettiest apple to eat, most of us would. But what happens to the ugly duckling or the Wonky apple? The flavor and nutritional value of these wonky apple are equal to the pretty red apple, it just looks different. Although there is nothing wrong with the misshapen, dull wonky red apple, it will probably end up tossed in the garbage. An all-to- often occurrence that literally creates a mountain of food waste at local landfills. Many fresh, nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables end up as food waste just because they have a minor blemish that makes them less eye-appealing than their pretty counterparts. The good-looking fruits and vegetables are always chosen first, leaving the blemished ones to sit and languish and ultimately end up in the landfill. As the piles of food waste decompose in the landfills around the country, they release heat-trapping methane gas into the atmosphere.
