misshapen

So-called "ugly" produce — misshapen food that never makes it to the grocery store because of its looks — falls into this category.

These misshapen proteins can disrupt mitochondria’s ability to produce the energy cells need.

The misshapen cells clog the flow of blood, which can lead to infections, excruciating pain, organ damage and other complications.

Trim regularly: Don’t let the plant get misshapen and then inflict a severe haircut on it.

By buying misshapen and ugly produce and reselling it at discount prices in subscription boxes, Misfits Market has grown into a billion-dollar business.
