I use my "uglies" as well for salsa, sauces, ect. I also offer them for discounted prices. In the heirloom world, it is rare to have perfect looking fruit especially when you don't use pesticides or fertilizers like I grow them. R & R's not so much.

It is truly a shame that there are so many people in this world who are starving and so much food gets wasted based on the appearance of the item. It is also a shame that people don't understand that by having that perfect looking fruit/vegetables, they are giving up flavor.
