    Ever wondered why red peppers are more expensive than green peppers? We went straight to the farm to find out this and more - like whether yellow, orange and red peppers are all just shades of one ripening pepper.

    When you go to your local grocery store to buy groceries you don’t realize the work, love and care it took to get that food to your shelf.
    Our farmers should receive a lot more appreciation and thought than what we give.
    To all the farmers who worry about the land, getting the seeds in the ground, to caring for the blooms then product.. managing crews to come harvest ( there is another unsung hero, these folks work from sun up to sun down making sure we get food .. the majority are migrant workers who bust their butts. They leave their families behind so they can come work all grow season to provide for their families.. without them those crops would never make it to our tables!). Then shipping! There is so much work and so many hands that each vegetable and piece of fruit you enjoy to get to your hands.
    So much love and respect to our farmers, our harvesters, our truckers who get us our food and to your families who part with you long enough for you to feed us!♥️♥️♥️

    One of our supermarkets here in Australia has a line called "The Odd Bunch", which basically is imperfect fruit and veg that is sold at a discounted price so that the grower can still get a reasonable return on his/her perfect as well as imperfect produce! I have found the quality to be equal even though the shape may not be the prettiest! Our banana farmers now make green banana flour with their imperfect bananas that would otherwise end up in the compost because they aren't curved enough or are too long or straight, and our avocado farmers remove the flesh from the fruit's skin that is not perfect but the inside is, and they put the mashed flesh into refrigerated squeezable tubes that are great for when you just want a little squeeze for your toast! Thank goodness for our farmers or the world would not be able to eat.

      Odd bunch (the carrots at least), are less than 10% cheaper. Barely discounted. Woolworths don't care about the growers getting return, they only care about their bottom line. Farmers themselves complain that Woolworths prices are far too high.

    • @22sades
      @22sades 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@TG22222 yes I agree about the carrots and I don't understand why they are not discounted like the other produce is. I have friends that are growers of all different kinds of fruit and when Coles and Wooly's are selling lemons for $3kg for instance, they are often giving the growers 10 and 20 cents per kg, and the same for most stone fruits. And then they send the invoices back to the growers saying there is an error somewhere
      which takes another month to cycle through before they get paid when the supermarkets have already sold the fruit!

      Look at it this way; if a grocery store has a sale for 4 peppers for 3.50 and assuming they were selling them all together the consumers would naturally go for the cosmetically perfect ones because they gain nothing except having an ugly pepper when they don’t. If they were to sell both, the uglier ones at a cheaper price people then would go for those peppers and the nice ones would begin to lose demand.

      The answer is Asia. Americans don't care. They will eat discolored or misshapen produce. US farmers focus on grading because top grades can be exported to Asia, where they sell for 10x more than in the US. The lower grades are still sold in the US but for way less money. That fruit doesn't get thrown out. It just can't be sold for premium prices.

    There should be a global movement to end what is called cosmetic standards of food.
    It is time to end this irrational practice.
    From Cooking shows on TV and on TH-cam to restaurants, everybody should stop buying food solely by how ''it looks''.
    If farmers were able to sell their produce as nature intended it to be; the farmers would make more money, food prices will drop from the increasing supply, Carbon emissions per food product will drop because of the increasing productivity, and so many other advantages. And above all, food would stay taste the same!

    • @Blueshirt38
      @Blueshirt38 6 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      I like the idea you are trying to put out, but it kind of ignores instinct. We want the best looking food because we know that it is healthy. We go to buy peppers, and see bright red, yellow, and green peppers, and we can easily figure out the freshness, and quality of it (to an extent) from looking at it. If they were all different gradients between green/red/yellow, and came in many different shapes and sizes, it becomes harder for the layman to know what is good anymore. A farmer, or biologist can easily tell that those misshapen, and odd colored ones are still good, but I can bet that no one in your local Kroger is in either of those career fields.

    • @abdelhamidcherragui
      @abdelhamidcherragui 6 ปีที่แล้ว +38

      You are making too many assumptions.
      I buy my food from multiple places depending on seasons and on how much free time I have. From the farmers market, going to farms in person, buying off the internet from farmers directly, and of course going to stores and super markets.
      I chose my food based on how delicious it is and how I want to use it. Never based on how beautiful it looks. Over ripened tomatoes are great when making tomato sauce, under ripened tomatoes are super delicious in salads, and so on.
      Please don't make assumptions about things you don't know.

    • @abdelhamidcherragui
      @abdelhamidcherragui 6 ปีที่แล้ว +40

      That is the cause of this big waste, a miss informed public. People have the assumption that what looks beautiful is healthy and good. This assumption came from food magazines and cooking shows where the only show food based on how it looks and not how it tastes.
      The most delicious and healthy food isn't necessarily the most beautiful.

    • @Blueshirt38
      @Blueshirt38 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I am not making any assumptions about you. Nothing I said was about anyone in particular, especially you. What I was saying was that for your idea to have any real chance of working without a HUGE change to the culture of almost every first world country. It would require people growing up around the food that they eat, and actually growing a large portion themselves to understand what is quality, what is safe, and what is healthy. Again- I really like your idea, and if someone had a realistic plan as to how to implement it, I would be on board.
      As to your second point: you are ignoring nature. The reason that we see these big, bright, clean looking fruit, and vegetables and assume that they are "healthy" is because of evolution, not culture. We evolved to recognize certain colors, shapes, and textures, and to understand that it is safe to eat. Of course, if you grow up eating these things fresh from the vine/ground/tree, you recognize more subtle things, and learn to understand things that don't require a food to look/smell/feel a certain way for it to be safe.

But it can be from any red pepper, like chilli peppers. The spice Paprika can range in how hot and taste, depending upon what all types of red peppers are used. For instance sweet paprika to hot and spicy paprika. Not sure why you call it Paprika, but there are differences all around the world. I do know some cultures use Paprika for both the spice and the fruit, so I am guessing this is why. For instance in AU, this Bell Pepper / Capsicum Annuum is simply called Capsicums.

    Just wanted to share a small story on cosmetically standard food. First of all you guys are doing a great job. So here it is, I visited France few years back and went to a store to shop some fruits, while picking some apples and Oranges for myself I noticed that all the apples and oranges were of same size and colour and they looked beautiful and seemed like they posing for a photograph!! Now I took em to the counter and asked the guy to pack em half kg each. Now when he weighed em they were going over a 100 gms or so. I'm from India and here what we do is we take out a bigger apple and put in a smaller apple to bring it close to 500 gms but thr it was not an option coz all of em were of same size and weight. So Being helpless I bought em whatever weight it was and while walking back to my room I was thinking like why do they all look same, may be farmers her have genetically modified the plants to get such fruits untill I saw this video! Oohhh so they cosmetically sorted em!!!! In India every fruit or vegetable comes to the market irrespective of its looks cos here we have to feed 1.5 billion people! So we dont have the luxury to cosmetically sort em! I agree in the past decade or two the taste and quality of fruits havegone downward they are not like what they used to be in my childhood days, but thats the bargain we have to take to fulfill the current demand. Quantity over quality!

    I really appreciate you spending some time to talk about the migrant POC workers. The amount of work they do, for so little, is heart-breaking, and back-breaking, for them. Yet most of our food, our quality, and low prices, depend on them...and so few knew their story. I don't know if you or your team would be able/interested, but a longer episode dedicated to these workers would be a powerful piece, and educational tool. I know your videos are very positive and food-focused, but their struggle is at the heart of our food, and we must stop taking it for granted - as changing policies today make their lives harder and harder each day. It's just not right. Please use your platform to support their stories, too.
