You Can Now Get Boxes of Rescued Food from Lentil As Anything Delivered Right to Your Door
A six-kilogram box of seasonal produce, pantry staples and bread will cost you just $25, ordered via Uber Eats.
If your Uber Eats order history is looking rather bleak — read, heavy on the burgers and fried chicken — you might be thinking it's time for a freshen-up. Enter, Lentil As Anything. Sure, the Melbourne-born social enterprise has been offering its tasty, affordable vegan fare through the delivery app for a while, but now the two have partnered up on a nifty new initiative that'll take your conscious dining habits to the next level.
Namely, you can now order a six-kilogram box of rescued food to your doorstep, filled with all fruit, all veg or a mix of both, plus three other grocery items (think, a rustic loaf of bread, or some canned peaches) all perfectly fine to eat, but that would otherwise be heading to landfill. And it's an easy way to help fight waste, with one of these all-vegan boxes setting you back just $25 via Uber Eats, or $20 if you pick it up from Lentil As Anything in Thornbury.
The products have been rescued by the team at Food Without Borders, collected from stores, restaurants and cafes that can no longer sell or use them, or donated to the cause. With Aussies binning around 20 percent of the food they purchase each year and contributing roughly four million tonnes of food waste to landfill in the process, food rescue initiatives like this have never proved so important.
The new food box program comes after Lentil As Anything opened Victoria's first pay-as-you-feel supermarket back in July, staffed by volunteers and stocked with goods rescued through Food Without Borders.
Lentil As Anything rescued food boxes are available to pick up from Lentil As Anything, 562-564 High Street, Thornbury, from 11am–8pm from Friday–Monday, or via Uber Eats between 11.30am–2.30pm and 6.30–8.30pm.
