“Food waste” can be a confusing/gross?/scary term. But once you see that wasted food looks like these cukes here, it’s hard not to think wtf are these cute lil thangs going to waste for?!

Crooks & nubs are what they’re called, for their stubby and tapered bodies. They have sun spotting—the lighter colored bits—a totally natural occurrence. They’re also classified as worthless to most all commercial buyers.

BUT they’re even more perfect and expressive to us, and of course, taste amazing. You should know! These are the cukes you’ve been eating in all our jars of pickles 😊

Clearly a biiiig production run today! Look out for freshies at all your fave retailers this week 👀

During holidays celebrating bounty, it’s way too easy to think of wasted, excess food as “just part of the tradition.” The vast majority of food waste happens in the home, on days like thanksgiving, when we over buy, cook way too much, and waste a ton.

We’ve all been there, but NOT THIS YEAR friends!! Hopefully this nifty lil guide can help you save some of your food from the trash this year. We alllllllllll need to do our part 🙏🏽🍗🥗🥧💚🥂

It may be getting chilly, but it’s always SUMMA on your shoulder with our pickle picnic 🌻 We have a fuuunnn way to win some of these limited edition babies coming up in a bit. Keep yer eyes glued on the gram!! 👀

The *WORLD FAMOUS* Fried Chicken Sandos came back for a weekend—mom’s one request for bday lunch 🤠🍗 While they’re a rarity, they aren’t gone for good good 😈 Best stay posted on all things 👀🥵!!

“Happy weekend!” is a very funny email sign off to receive if you work in food you know that lol a 2 day weekend is a massive luxury/full blown vacation. But the sentiment is very kind and I hope that you too, get to take a breather this “weekend” regardless!!! 💞

Real talk super quick!! 🎙✨ We’ve been a bit quiet on this front as we’ve been building our next big sustainability project, and wanted to make sure y’all know—we opening a restaurant, baby ! 😛❤️‍🔥🍕

was born out of the same environmental mission as —to make it easier for you to take climate action through your food. Through the pandemic, we’ve been challending ourselves to think, “how do we rescue an even greater variety of produce, at a more rapid clip?” With Shuggie’s Trash Pie, we’re able to take in the spontaneous, 100lb produce offers we get weekly, and incorporate them into rotating, seasonal pizzas and share plates, all to be gulped down with our favorite natural wines.

We want to democratize food waste action, which for us means doing the legwork of creating exciting, delicious food, at accessible prices, to make it a no brainer to do something good for the planet.

So follow along and come hang later this year once we open doors!! We can’t wait to feed you 🤠

Does it not feel like SUCH a flex to use a see-through bag for cute grocery hauls?? 🙃⭐️

Still unreal for us to walk into our favorite stores and see our babies on shelf 🥲 !! Find us in the refrigerated aisles, cause these pickles are freshies (bigger flavor, brighter, better texture, all the things!!)

POV: It’s Friday night, you’re having a house party, you want your snacks to look as cute as you do 🎀

Do you even color coordinate with your pickles?

🔥 Another one! 🔥
East baeeee—stoked to add another member to the Ugly Pickle family! Local fave now stocking our Burger Party Dills, Hawt, and OG Bread N Buttahs! Are we glowing?! 🥰✨

Happy lunching here at Ugly Pickle HQ (our living room). If you haven’t Burger Party Dill-ed your sandwiches yet, we are HERE and READY to send you into the fifth dimension 🪐🛸!! Cali kids, newly restocked 👾

🎊GUS’S MARKET, baby!!! 🎊 HAWT diggity dog, we finally made it. One of our absolute favorite markets, now carrying 3 of our briny babes, at all locations!! Y’all make this happen just as much as we do. Going into shops and letting them know you want Ugly Pickle is what helps vet us and get us on shelf. We love you, thank you for keeping this food waste party rolling 🚂💚!!!

Stoked about today’s sweet feat. in How I See SF! ✨🌁

As a 4th gen San Franciscan, I have an ever evolving list of spaces and experiences important to me in this special city. Chinatown bars where my grandfather worked, friends’ restaurants that feel like home, secret green spaces and sunrise spots. So I was thrilled to have SF Travel reach out about places meaningful to me in this current chapter of my life. I’m often showering visitors with suggestions for where to go while in this city, so they can love it as much as I do. This article captures a few of em.

🔗 up top! Thank you for the ref 🥰

The best (only good?) part of the pandemic was discovering the weekday picnic 🧺🍾Cheers to a sizzling sun, briny snack-filled, big squeeze summer 🌞
