Unusually shaped fruits and vegetables

Have you ever seen a really weirdly shaped fruit or vegetable? Maybe a carrot that looks like a person, or an apple that's really lumpy? These fruits and veggies are called "unusually shaped" because they don't look like the ones you usually see in the store.

But just because they look different, it doesn't mean they're bad or yucky. In fact, they're just as good for you as the normal-looking fruits and veggies! They might even taste better because they grew in a unique way.

Sometimes, vegetables and fruits grow in funny shapes because of the way they were planted or because of something that happened to them while they were growing. Maybe a tomato grew in a weird way because it was squished by other tomatoes on the plant. Or maybe a carrot looks really wiggly because it had to push its way around a rock in the soil.

Even though these fruits and veggies might look silly, they can still be used in recipes just like the ones that look normal. So next time you see a funny-looking fruit or vegetable, don't be afraid to give it a try! You might be surprised at how tasty it is.
