Fruits & veggies can sometimes look strange—know when to keep or toss your produce!

When you look at fruits and vegetables, rotting produce and natural produce look different. Rotting produce often has dark spots, a bad smell, and feels squishy or slimy. It might have mold growing on it, too. This produce is not safe to eat. On the other hand, produce with natural imperfections might look a bit misshapen, have small scars, or uneven coloring, but it usually still feels firm and smells fresh. While these may look “ugly” they are perfectly fine and tasty!
