7 TOP TIPS TO WASTE LESS FOOD!

by Shontae Clarke August 25, 2021 0 min read

Plan your meals in advance and make a shopping list and stick to it, to avoid any impulsive purchasing. Don't judge food by it’s appearance! Wonky shaped or bruised fruits and vegetables are often thrown away as they don't meet the cosmetic standards. "HINT!" - they taste the same! Try using the mature fruit and vegetables in smoothies, juices, and soups. Move the older products to the front of your cupboards or fridge and the newer ones to the back. Also, use airtight containers to keep your food fresh in the fridge. Know the difference between “best before" and "use-by" dates. Sometimes food is still safe to consume after the "best before" date, whereas the "use-by" date tells you when it’s no longer safe to eat. If you don't eat everything you make, freeze it for a later date or use your leftovers in another meal. Rather than throwing away your food scraps, compost it. To help the environment as you are giving nutrients back to the soil and reducing your carbon footprint. Donate food that would otherwise be wasted to help people who are less fortunate than you.
