Routines don’t have to be boring—and neither d

Routines don’t have to be boring—and neither do dishes! This fall we’re inviting you to let loose and find your groove in the kitchen. Because we see you—you lick the last of the peanut butter off the lid. You turn up Harry Styles and do a little dance when you hack a snack from yesterday’s leftovers. You let out a satisfied sigh when the cold spaghetti still tastes good, even if your toddler painted the wall with some of it. You’ve got a groove, and all those grooves add up.

Next time you’re bringing that sense of fun to dish duty, multitask by entering our #imperfectgroove video contest for a chance to win $350 in Imperfect Foods credit! Because cooking is more fun when it’s free 😎

How it works:
🧹 Choose your favorite song
🧼 Show us your kitchen groove (if you need a little inspo, see the hashtag #imperfectgroove)
🧽 Post your video to Instagram and/or TikTok using #imperfectgroove before tomorrow, 10/5
What’s your favorite “making cleaning fun” tune?

What does a breakdancing sweet potato say? Pump up

What does a breakdancing sweet potato say? Pump up the yams 🍠

This fall we’re celebrating your kitchen groove—the ups and downs and wins and fails of feeding yourself and other humans. You hunt for recipe inspo, change your mind five times, stare into space, get your ingredients lined up, forget the butter. You do your best to prioritize the fresh tomatoes and use up the eggs that have been in the fridge the longest. Even if it doesn’t always feel like it, you’re making it look groovy!

So show us your #imperfectgroove—no breakdancing skills required! Submit a video of how you play with your food or get into the groove of preventing food waste for a chance to win $350 in Imperfect credit (and perhaps some street cred).

How it works:
🍠 Choose your favorite song
🍠 Show us your kitchen groove (if you need a little inspo, see the hashtag #imperfectgroove)
🍠 Post your video to Instagram and/or TikTok using #imperfectgroove before 10/5

Due to California’s recent heatwave, frisée crops are booming and @cokefarm has more than they can move! You can help make sure these frilly chicories don't go to waste by adding frisée to your next Imperfect order. Also known as curly endive, frisée can be eaten fresh, grilled, or braised, and makes for a delicious salad. It can stand up to bold, acidic flavors, so try pairing it with bleu cheese, mustardy vinaigrettes, and tart fruits.
