SINGAPORE - Imperfect ingredients - blemished, bruised or even deformed - are slowly shedding their "ugly food" image.
In a bid to get more consumers to buy these products - mainly fruits and vegetables - supermarket chains such as FairPrice and Sheng Siong have been selling them at more attractive prices. For example, FairPrice supermarkets sell a mixed bag of blemished fruits for $2, so you could save a few cents and even up to a few dollars.
