國中英語基測出現過 straight 的考題。

Have you ever seen a pumpkin that looks like a nose or an apple that looks like a funny face? They may not look great, but they taste just as good as the pretty ones. These strange-looking fruit and vegetables are called “seconds.” About 20-40% of what farmers grow is not so beautiful. Sadly, these “seconds” seldom arrive at your table, but often go straight into the trash can. Why? It’s because supermarkets don’t want to buy them from farmers—they believe their shoppers only love beautiful things. Because of these “seconds,” some farmers lose a lot of money.

Wonky Markt wishes to change this. We’re helping sell these “seconds.” Farmers can save them from the trash can, and you can get them at a lower price.

  1. NT$250 a box.
  2. You can choose as many as six kinds of fruit and vegetables a box.
  3. Service charge: NT$50 a box.
  4. No service charge if order is over NT$1,000.

Send us photos of your delicious dishes that are made with our “seconds” to oneandonly@wonkymarkt.com, and you may win our cookbook.
