This cheeky strawberry might just make it to our uniquely-shaped produce hall of fame. It's an affirming reminder that curves are beautiful, on people and on veggies! Huge thanks to the very talented @heyheysu for this delightful illustration. We hope it brings as much of a smile to your day as it brought to ours. ❤️🍓⁠

Warmer weather means picnic season! Since cheese is a picnic all-star, we're sharing storage tips to help you keep your favorite cheeses fresh for longer. ⁠
⁠
🧀 Wrap your cheese in wax or parchment paper, not plastic wrap, so it can breathe. Waxed wraps like @abeego work well, too!⁠
🧀 Keep your cheese in a drawer or area in your fridge where the temperature is cold and stable. ⁠
🧀 Don't put cheese near highly aromatic foods, as it may absorb their flavors over time.⁠
🧀 As a general rule, harder cheeses will last longer than soft cheeses, so plan accordingly.⁠
⁠
Save this post to help keep your cheese picnic-ready all season long! ⁠

How can these little kiwis create such a big stir?

How can these little kiwis create such a big stir? Our golden kiwis are palm-sized balls of sunshine that are just a bit smaller than what grocery stores prefer. We think that just makes them sweeter. ⁠
⁠
As an added bonus, unlike regular kiwis, their skins aren’t fuzzy, making the whole fruit delicious! We may be a bit biased, but they're pretty close to a perfect summer snack. Have you ever tried a golden kiwi before?

Bravo to @black.forest.lops for giving new meaning to the terms "sustainable fashion" and "pet project." 🐰

At Imperfect Foods, Pride is about celebrating the

At Imperfect Foods, Pride is about celebrating the power of acceptance, love, and diversity. Our history as a company has taught us that building a kinder and more inclusive world doesn't happen on Instagram; it happens through hard work and collaboration. ⁠
⁠
One way we celebrate Pride year-round is by supporting @ourhousepdx and their program Esther's Pantry with regular food donations. They run Oregon's first LGBTQ+ Affirming shopping-style food pantry, which provides food and personal care items to people impacted by HIV. They are a beautiful model of how building a better food system is inseparable from building a more tolerant and kind world. ⁠
⁠
What does Pride mean to you? How are you celebrating it this year? 🏳️‍🌈

Sustainable eating means being intentional about t

Sustainable eating means being intentional about the impact of our food. It takes a surprising amount of time, water, and energy to grow even the most humble vegetable or herb. ⁠
⁠
At Imperfect Foods, we are building a food system that respects and values all that energy. This means minimizing visible impacts like food waste and packaging in landfills, but also less visible impacts, like energy use and water consumption. ⁠
⁠
Together we can recreate a food system that values everything we grow and produce, which will have positive ripple effects both seen and unseen. Every food choice you make is powerful!
