If you want to get the most out of your food $$ and cut your waste, watch this video!
Food Waste
The only thing I hate more than rotten veggies in my fridge is, well… cleaning my fridge.
But seriously, one of my biggest pet peeves is wasting food… I HATE throwing food out because it’s gone bad. Not only am I wasting my hard-earned $$, but also the time it takes to replace that food, and the loss of nutrient quality when I don’t properly store my veggies.
Not to mention the massive food wastage problem we have in Canada – most recently calculated to be $31b annually! That’s a lot of spinach.
The numbers are truly staggering – approximately 183 kg of solid food and 84.6 litres of liquids PER PERSON in Canada! And before you hang that on the distributors of food (like I did…), consider that approximately 47% of food wastage happens in the home.
Yikes!
I put together these 5 tips to help you to make sure you can keep your veggies fresh, longer!
Watch the video below.
