Buying fruit and vegetables in any Norwegian grocery store is often a quite boring task. All the apples have the same size, the califlowers are tightly wrapped in plastic, the carrots look like they are shaped in a mold. They tell us it is because of the EU standards. When you buy a potato you shall know its size before arriving in the store, if the apples are too small, people will not buy it.......at least that´s what "they" say. Tons of fruits and vegetables are thrown away in Europe every year because of this. Can you believe it!
One of the grocery store chains, and lucky for us, the one closest to our home, Bunnpris, is about to change this. They are trying out a concept they call Snål frukt & grønt, Funny Fruits & Greens.
Small red onions, funny carrots, swedes in all shapes.
All of a sudden buying groceries at Bunnpris is almost as fun as buying groceries in India.
I visit the Snål frukt & grønt corner every time I buy groceries.
My kitchen fills up with healthy, fresh food,
and I am trying out new recipes.
Lent starts next week, and I am looking forward to cook with Funny Fruit.
Funny Fruit which is told to be at least 30% cheaper because of its funny shapes!
We live in a crazy world.
The three first photos are from our local Bunnpris store, the others are from the baazar in Mysore, India, where I am buying fruits and vegetables with Sheri, my mamma India´s daughter.
