Fruits and vegetables are sometimes shaped weirdly. Very often these cute natural creations don’t even make it to the supermarkets due to their non-uniform shape. In the US, an astonishing number of 6 billion pounds of “ugly” plants are thrown away each year. This is a pity, as their unusual shape make these vegetables special and often even human-like.

At Bright Side, we smiled and laughed a lot while collecting these pictures of imperfect veggies and berries from the Internet. Look through this list until the end and be sure to pay attention to these funny shapes next time you are making your soup or salad.
