The “persimmon guy” saves the super ripe squishy ones for me every fall. He said they can’t sell these and asked me for my persimmon pudding recipe. 📖 This was about 1/3 of what he gave me for $2.50!!! 🧡🍁 Annually, about 1.3 billon tons of food is wasted and up to 30% if that is because of appearance. So next time you’re shopping try going for the less than perfect looking fruit & veggies, it might even save you some money.💰 . . . #uglyfruit #persimmons #farmersmarket #shoplocal #uglyveggies #foodwaste #sustainability #sustainable #nowaste #doyourpart #zerowastehome #Organic #wastenotwantnot #zerowaste #uglyfruit #knowyourfarmer #uglyvegetables #uglyfruitandveg #harvest #bitesizedliving (at Corona, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5WewEFlqJQ/?igshid=yyg9b8gm6m2l
