Oddbox

Are you a carrot critic? A fennel fighter? An onion opposer? Or does the mere sight of a mushroom leave you feeling mushy at the knees? We love all fruit and veg here at Oddbox – even artichokes. But we’ve noticed some items are continually getting a bad rap, and we need your help to get to the peachy bottom of it. Click here: https://bit.ly/3AtKJmc to take our quick survey and help us understand why some greens just can't catch a break. Who knows? We might even find a way to change your mind… maybe.

The Paris Olympics have finally arrived, and everyone at Oddbox HQ is getting into the spirit. We’re really root-ing for Team GB…so we’ve come up with the Oddlympics! Which of these is your favourite fruit and veg athlete? Which item wins the gold medal each week in your boxes? Let us know in the comments – and if you can think of any other fruit-and-veg-ified Team GB heroes, we’d love to hear them. #oddbox #oddisgood #odd #olympics #theparisolympics #zerowaste #vegetables #fruits #lowwaste

You asked, we chopped. Loads of Oddboxers tell us they can’t get through a whole cabbage each week – and it’s fair enough, when you look at the size of some of the whoppers we’ve rescued recently. So, in an Oddbox FIRST, we’re trying out half cabbages in your boxes. These beautiful brassicas were originally on the rescue list for being “too many” after a crop flush. But our growers at PC Thorold’s agreed to chop them in half to help our community waste less at home. What do you think? Half the cabbage, double the fun? What else should we try chopping in half?

Oddbox is proud to join forces with Too Good To Go, the British Retail Consortium, and over 30 leading UK companies in co-signing an open letter calling for mandatory public food waste reporting.   Addressed to the Secretary of State for @DefraGovUk , this collective effort aims to combat the alarming reality that over a third of all food produced goes to waste, costing the UK economy £21.8 billion annually and contributing an estimated 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions.   We believe that mandatory reporting is crucial to driving meaningful change and fostering sustainability across the industry.   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/enNfPXkX
