Don't judge an apple by its awkward shape or colour. "Buy ugly fruits and vegetables. It cuts down on food waste, and this unusually-shaped produce is just as nutritious as its prettier counterparts," said Maggie Moon, MS, RD, and author of The MIND Diet. "A little cosmetic scuff here or there is OK, especially if you'll be eating the produce soon. You still want to avoid overly bruised fruits and veggies, which is a sign of spoilage," she explained.
