These imperfections were like nature’s seal of authenticity. In contrast, today’s vegetables are often so perfect in appearance that they almost seem artificial—picture-perfect tomatoes and flawlessly smooth lady's fingers that look identical on every shelf. But behind this appealing exterior is often a heavy use of pesticides, making the produce less flavourful and sometimes even bland.
