The Problem
Did you know around 26% of produce in the US gets discarded every year for cosmetic reasons? That's around 6 billion pounds of perfectly good produce that goes unharvested or unsold due to appearance. Grocery stores won't take these non-perfect ingredients from farmers because we’ve become accustomed to expecting our fruits and vegetables symmetrical and unblemished. These expectations have led to increased costs of produce and has created a massive food waste problem in this country.
Our Food Fix
When you eat Uglies potato chips, you are fighting food waste AND supporting local farmers. Their chips are crafted from potatoes with slight imperfections that would otherwise get discarded. Think: potatoes that are too large or too small, have the wrong color, the wrong sugar content, are slightly blemished or are just farmer surplus. In doing this, they support farmers whose crop would otherwise go unused and reduce the amount food waste. Since 2017, Uglies has saved more than 5,000,000 pounds of potatoes! We think that calls for another bag.
