Every product has a carbon footprint—it's unavoi

Every product has a carbon footprint—it's unavoidable. But @EatNeutral is the first carbon-neutral food company in the U.S., and they're on a mission to radically reduce the carbon footprint of agriculture. Dairy is one of the most carbon-intensive industries out there, so Neutral set out to measure, reduce and offset the emissions involved in dairy production, while still producing some of the tastiest dairy products you can find! ⁠
⁠
They ensure their products are 100% carbon neutral by investing in carbon insetting dairy projects across the country, and highlight carbon reduction practices for their farmers. Through the process of anaerobic digestion, they're turning cow manure into renewable energy right there on the farm—and in doing so, significantly reducing the amount of methane emissions along the way.⁠
⁠
Keep your eyes peeled for Neutral Milk next time you shop with Imperfect to take a small step to reduce your carbon footprint, and click the link in our bio to learn more! 🥛👀⁠

We love asparagus so much that we wish we could cuddle it! But we'll settle for eating it. Asparagus season is in full swing, spanning in the U.S. from about late April to early July. They're a time-intensive little plant, taking about two to three years to mature, but once they get going, asparagus plants can be cropped each spring for 15 years or more, making them quite climate-friendly! This is because they grow from a deep underground root system of fleshy storage roots attached to a stem called a rhizome. They're drought tolerant, one of the only perennial vegetables (meaning they come back year after year), and oh so tasty!

@kjcardigan created these snuggly little "asparguys" and we think they're just perfect.

It’s #pollinatorweek! Behind 1 out of every 3 bites of food we eat, there's a pollinator involved. With increasing threats to honeybees (varroa mites, murder hornets to name the big ones), take this time to say thanks to the bees, butterflies, and bats that make our food possible by planting native plants, supporting local farmers, and educating others about the importance of pollinators.⁠
⁠
These bee-autiful photos are from Tyler, Imperfect's Director of Product Management – he keeps bees on the rooftop of his Bay Area home! "I have two beehives on my roof, both of which are Italian honeybees (the most docile of the 3 common honeybee varieties). In two years of beekeeping, I’ve never been stung: when you are chill, the bees are chill,” says Tyler. #savethebees

If you ask our produce buyers, now is the time to really get excited about produce — it's the season of bounty! Eating seasonally is often better for the environment, supports local farmers and growers, and inspires great cooking. And summertime is chock-full of absolutely delicious goodies. Check out our Summer Produce Guide linked in our bio, and save this post for the next time you're wondering how to use leftover corn (create a stock!), what to do with overripe peaches (galette, anyone?), and the tastiest way to use an abundance of tomatoes (bruschetta please!). 🍉🍅🌽⁠

Summer is officially here, in all its fruit-juice-dripping-down-your-arms, flowers-as-garnish, grow-your-own-goodness glory. But don't let the heat reduce the lifespan of your groceries! Head to the link in our bio for a little *refresher* on the best ways to store your produce, and while you're at it, perhaps refresh yourself with a summer spritz 😎⁠

This Juneteenth, Imperfect is honored to volunteer

This Juneteenth, Imperfect is honored to volunteer and donate to a local celebration near our Chicago fulfillment center. Led by our Black Imperfectionists employee resource group, we're giving a donation to the @dusablemuseum DuSable Museum of African American History along with beverages and Imperfect Foods snacks for their annual Juneteenth Barbecue and Block Party. The DuSable Museum is the nation’s oldest independent African American museum, celebrating the struggles, triumphs, and resilience of the African American people. If you're in the Chicago area, please consider joining us in volunteering or attending this amazing event today from 11am–8pm! Find out more in the link in our bio.

There's still so much to do in the fight to end systemic racism. At Imperfect, we're constantly evaluating the ways we can work to foster an equitable and inclusive culture, and seek to amplify the voices of those that feel left behind in the wake of injustice. We know that our efforts are imperfect, but we're grateful we can be on this journey towards being an actively anti-racist society together.
