That was the original gimmick behind the subscription service "imperfect produce". I gave it a try for a while (back before they pivoted to being a normal grocery subscription) and found out that a lot of this "perfectly good" produce is also completely devoid of flavor. Another problem is that "minor cosmetic defects" often means the skin of fruits is splitting so they mold within 48 hours of arriving.

In the US that's usually a bad deal because you lose employer-sponsored healthcare.
