@FDAfood
- “Imperfect” fruits may have blemishes or discoloration but are nutritious and safe to eat. The next time your grocery delivery comes with an “imperfect” fruit, give it a try! Avoid eating fruit with punctured rinds or skin that exposes the inside.
- Don’t let your produce’s long journey to your house end in the trashcan. Before throwing out imperfect fruits & vegetables, think of other ways to use them. Use imperfect fruits and vegetables for smoothies, stir fry’s & soups while you #StayHome https://go.usa.gov/xv6Su
- When grocery shopping, buying just 1 to 2 weeks’ worth of groceries at a time can help to prevent unnecessary demand & temporary food shortages during the #COVID19 pandemic. Find more tips on how to safely grocery shop from FDA’s website. https://go.usa.gov/xv6A2
