All my food, except rice, are fruit-legumes leftovers/damaged, free or 50%, collected at several groceries and producers. I also forage fruits in the "wild" (residential areas, road sides)
- "How do you find these produce discounts?" Same process - exploration, helping, sympathizing with fruit producers vendors, they are often happy to get rid of unsold fruits.
I wish people will change their mind, damaged/ugly/super ripe produces should not be wasted, they are still mostly good, a fruit that fell on the floor isn't wasted, a fruit with a bug isn't wasted (all the opposite, it's a sign it's good), most people throw away way too much food, and parts of the food
