U.N. data indicates that potatoes, beets, radishes, and carrots are the most wasted food in the world, coming in at 46.2% of total food waste. This is partially due to consumers’ unwillingness to buy “ugly” or bruised potatoes. However, it can also be a more complex concern, as we saw in 2020 as millions of potatoes in the U.S. alone went to waste in the face of pandemic supply chain issues. Storage and transportation can contribute to a lot of food waste if supply chains aren’t working properly.
