They also host cooking workshops to share their knowledge of food prep . Keen to get schooled?

@uglyfruitandveg

If you've seen our CropFest campaign you’ll know how we bang on about using the tonnes of less-conventionally shaped fruit and veg that would otherwise be binned. Jordan Figueiredo, founder of The Ugly Fruit and Veg Campaign is on the same mission to change the perception of wonkily shaped fruit and veg.
