Are you someone who loves the convenience of having fresh fruits and vegetables delivered right to your doorstep, but also has strong opinions about certain produce? Well, Oddbox has got you covered with their new pick-your-own boxes. And don't worry, we understand that not everyone is a fan of every fruit and veggie out there. In fact, Oddbox encourages their customers to be picky and not be afraid to express their dislike for certain produce. That's why they have introduced their brand-new 'Pick Your Own' boxes, giving you the freedom to swap out any item in your box for something you prefer.
Oddbox is a delivery service that rescues odd and surplus produce from going to waste and delivers it to your door. They prioritize using what is available and in season to minimize food wastage. And now, you have the power to choose which fruits and veggies make it into your box. Whether it's swapping broccoli for beetroot or apples for onions, the choice is yours. And to make things even better, Oddbox is offering Metro readers 50% off their first box with the code METRO50. It's a win-win situation - you get to enjoy fresh produce while also reducing food waste.
Did you know that around 40% of all food produced globally goes to waste? And in the UK alone, 1.5 million tonnes of food is wasted at the manufacturing stage. It's a shocking statistic, and Oddbox is determined to make a difference by helping the UK waste less and eat more of the good stuff. They believe that there's no point in rescuing fruits and vegetables from growers if it ends up getting wasted at home. That's why they offer their customers the option to choose their own box and have seen that 95% of their community wastes less when given more choice.
And let's not forget the environmental impact of food waste, which is 248 times bigger than plastic. It's a harrowing fact, and Oddbox is here to make a change. They want to promote the consumption of "ugly" produce - dirt-covered potatoes, colorful carrots, curvy cucumbers, and knobbly apples. These may not be as visually appealing, but they are just as nutritious and delicious. And with Oddbox, you can support this movement while also enjoying the convenience of having fresh produce delivered to your doorstep.
So, how does it work? First, you choose your box based on your preferences - whether you prefer fruits, vegetables, or a mix of both. Then, you can customize your box by excluding up to three items that you don't like or already have plenty of. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can even add some fresh produce from The Odd Shop to your box. Once you've made your selections, Oddbox will pack everything up and deliver it to you overnight to minimize emissions.
If you're someone who is very particular about what goes on your plate, then the 'Pick Your Own' boxes are perfect for you. You can swap out any produce you don't like and even add some extra goodies from The Odd Shop. But if you're not too picky and generally love most fruits and veggies, you can opt for a regular box and have the option to exclude up to three items. It's all about giving you the freedom to choose and reducing food waste.
So, are you ready to be picky? Don't forget to use the code METRO50 at checkout for 50% off your first Oddbox order.
