Tonight, look towards the sky to see if you can spot the super rare Blood (orange) Moon! This full moon is a special one—it's not only a supermoon but also a blood moon — thanks to a lunar eclipse! ⁠
⁠
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is positioned directly between the moon and the sun, so the only light that reaches the moon's surface is from the edges of the Earth's atmosphere. ⁠
⁠
In celebration of this rare celestial event, we've put together some of our favorite blood orange recipes. Head to the link in our bio to get into the spirit. 🍊🌚⁠

What my Snacky Snack Mixy Mix sees when I open it

What my Snacky Snack Mixy Mix sees when I open it every week.

These extra large grapefruits from Riverside, Cali

These extra large grapefruits from Riverside, California were deemed too big for juicers and traditional grocery stores, so the grower was left to feed them to cattle or let them go to waste. He donated as many grapefruits as local food banks could take, but the rest are ripe for rescuing. Imperfect took on 800 pounds of juicy giants, and we need your help saving them! Keep an eye out for them when you shop with us this week. 🧡

#TBT! We've come a long way from the early days when our entire company could fit in one photo and we packed all of our orders in a single afternoon in a teeny tiny warehouse in Emeryville, CA. A lot has changed in the past 6+ years, but our commitment to eliminating food waste and our love of our roots in the Bay Area has stayed the same. That's why we're excited to bring Imperfect's Food Waste Week to San Francisco next week! ⁠
⁠
Bay Area friends, will you help us put 1,000+ lbs of imperfect food to good use? Throughout #foodwasteweek we'll partner with local SF restaurants and food trucks to utilize imperfect and surplus ingredients in apple-solutely delicious dishes, and at the end of the week we'll be popping up at Spark Social SF for climate-focused panels and opportunities to play fun games for prizes (like free groceries and smoothies!).⁠

Imagine the surprise when our team at our San Fran

Imagine the surprise when our team at our San Francisco fulfillment center opened their @gothamgreens shipment to find an iconic dancing bear instead of the normal red leaf lettuce packaging! For a limited time, we're happy to bring you Grateful Greens, a gourmet medley lettuce created in collaboration between @gothamgreens and the @gratefuldead. For every package of Grateful Greens sold, Gotham Greens will plant trees in partnership with Forest Nation, dedicated to preserving the future of our planet. West coast customers, keep your eyes peeled for these groovy greens!

Every root veggie farmer's worst fear is having loads of leftover vegetables when the weather starts warming up. Thankfully, our growers can rest easy, as the Imperfect community bought a record-setting amount of watermelon radishes this year, ensuring these luscious and lovely veggies didn't go to waste. From the bottom of their root cellars, our growers say "thank you!" 🍉⁠
