PROS:
- Reducing food waste: By rescuing wonky produce that would otherwise be thrown away, Oddbox helps to cut down on food waste and its impact on the environment.
- Supporting local farmers: Oddbox sources its produce from local farms and suppliers, which can help support small-scale farmers and reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
- Convenience: Customers can have fresh, healthy produce delivered straight to their doors regularly, without the need to head to the shops.
- Cost savings: As Oddbox sells imperfect produce at a reduced price, customers may be able to save money in their weekly shop.
CONS:
- Limited availability: At present, Oddbox only delivers to certain areas of the UK, so it may not be an option for everyone.
- Limited selection: As Oddbox specialises in rescuing wonky produce, customers may not have as much variety in their boxes compared to other subscription services.
- Imperfect appearance: Although the produce is perfectly good to eat, some customers may be put off by the appearance of the wonky fruits and vegetables.
The contents of an Oddbox can vary depending on the season and the availability of produce. However, you can generally expect to receive a mix of fruits and vegetables, including staples such as potatoes, carrots, onions, and apples, as well as more unusual items like purple sprouting broccoli or heritage tomatoes. The produce is always fresh and may be organic, depending on its availability and sourcing.
