Mutatoes by Uli Westphal

Just saw this great project that catalogues fruit and vegetables of the non-standard variety. You wouldn’t find these in your local supermarket, but maybe you should.

“Produce has become a highly designed, monotonous product. We have forgotten, and in many cases never experienced, the way fruits, roots, and vegetables can actually look (and taste). The Mutato-Project serves to document, preserve and promote these last remainders of agricultural diversity.”

    Mutant Fruit…? Maybe it's actually more natural? Designed by nature, or not? http://t.co/TR5Zwck
