Anyone try this yet? They are supposed to send you veggies that don't look like they are "supposed" to that would otherwise be discarded (I think). So, you can get perfectly edible, funny looking produce cheaper than normal.

I'd never heard of it. Checking it out now, thanks!

This is the only thing that came to mind

I really take the "reuse" part of "reduce, reuse, recycle" to heart

Just ordered a small box. Well see how it turns out, and if it's a deal.

If anything, it will expand my cooking skills.

So, first shipment ($23 I think):
4 potatoes
1 squash
4 chipollene (I think) onions
4 apples
2 beets (I think)
2 zucchinis
3 mangos
1 eggplant
4 different leafy greens that I'm not sure what they are

Condition, taste and freshness? (when you get a chance)

 

[gob]

They are turnips, not beets.
Greens are cilantro, romaine, spinach, and bok choy, fwiw

Condition, taste and freshness? (when you get a chance)

Condition looks to be fairly good. Most, if not all, are organic. I'd imagine the taste is going to be similar to stuff bought in a store. I was going to price compare, but gave up.

End up trying it out? My stuff ended up OK. No complaints, really. I ended up wasting some spinach and romaine, because I just couldn't use up that much.

I get my second shipment in today. Looking forward to seeing what's inside. I might need to end up freezing some stuff, though.

I haven't tried it yet. Been busy (just got back from Hawaii). I mentioned it to the wife and she is on board so we'll probably try it soon.

This shipment wasn't as good, imo... Some spinach, lettuce (not sure what kind of lettuce), beets, corn, peppers, and a cucumber. I would have liked to get some fruit in it


And I don't eat lettuce

That doesn't sound much like the description of "mixed fruits and veggies"... I may continue to monitor this thread and let you get a few more shipments before pulling the trigger on them.

I might also look around at some other sites doing the same thing and try one of them so we can compare between the sites.

I forgot. I got artichokes too

Even with the added artichokes it sounds like a sham.

Produce is almost always the most affordable while in season. Organic is my preference but do they do anything beyond just saying so?

The thing that originally peaked my interest was the idea of a "mystery box" of fruits and veggies I don't normally buy/consume. It reads like you've been getting the usual stuff that is readily available in stores almost every day.

You make it sound so salacious.
