It also means reducing the carbon footprint of food manufacturing as well as <strong>reducing other negative environmental side-effects of food production<\/strong>. When you <em>reduce food waste<\/em>, it means that you send less food to the bin at the other end, which is not only better <a title=\"Ways You Can Help To Improve The Environment Without Spending A Fortune\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/help-the-environment-everyday-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">for the environment<\/a> but also for your bank balance!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cutting down the amount of food waste in your home is ridiculously easy<\/strong>. Yet, even some fairly expert environmentalists don\u2019t do all they can. All it actually takes is a bit of planning, organisation and time to learn some new rules.<\/p>\n<h2>4 Simple Ways to Reduce Food Waste Every Day:<\/h2>\n<h3>Freeze it!<\/h3>\n<p>There are a lot of myths around what can and can\u2019t be frozen, some packaging simply omits information regarding freezing. But if something is about to reach its \u2018use by date\u2019 and would otherwise go to waste, check if you can freeze it.<\/p>\n<p>Fruit and vegetables are one of the biggest food groups that go to waste in our homes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/freezing-lemons-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">many of them are perfect for freezing<\/a>, yet not many people do so. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bananas<\/strong> \u2013 freeze and use later in baking or smoothies<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mushrooms<\/strong> \u2013 freeze and toss straight into your next stew\/sauce or for pizza topping<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion<\/strong> \u2013 Bought too many? Chop and freeze to save time next time you need them<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>For a more detailed explanation of freezing fruit and veg check out this video from BBC Good Food:<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><div class=\"cwvpsb_iframe\"><div class=\"iframe_wrap\"><div class=\"iframe_player\" data-embed=\"IiD65kO-wik\" id=\"player_IiD65kO-wik\"><div class=\"play-button\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<h3>Double Check the \u2018Use by Date\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Big supermarkets err on the side of caution when it comes to best by dates and use by dates, understandably they don\u2019t want to end up making millions of people ill and being held liable.<\/p>\n<p>That being said with a little bit of care and knowledge you can safely push some of these dates back and use food that you would have once wasted.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, you don\u2019t have to work this out for yourself as expert advice is available online.<\/p>\n<p><em>One of the best resources available for double-checking your food expiry dates is Eat by Date: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Plan Ahead<\/h3>\n<p><strong>One of the simplest ways to reduce your food waste<\/strong> is to sit down and plan exactly what you will need for the week or next few days. Despite this, many people decide against this approach.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t know what they will want to eat over the next few days or they don\u2019t have the time to sit and plan. These reasons are understandable, but they can be worked around.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, if you plan carefully, you don\u2019t have to decide exactly what you will be eating all week. You can simply approximate meals by ensuring you plan for enough portions.<\/p>\n<p>As long as you have kitchen cupboard essentials such as oils, spices, pasta, rice, and tinned goods, you can still be flexible in the meals that you have throughout the week.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, doing your shopping online now makes it incredibly easy to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/weight-loss-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plan your meals<\/a>. If you need help planning your shopping, then head to your local supermarket&#8217;s website. They have tools to help you meal plan.<\/p>\n<h3>Shop Often and Buy Local<\/h3>\n<p>If planning meals really isn\u2019t for you then shopping often may work instead. Shopping often should ensure that you only buy for the next few meals and so ensure little or no waste.<\/p>\n<p>Buying locally also has multiple benefits, as well as supporting your local economy you will be buying fresher produce that is probably better for you.<\/p>\n<p>Produce from the supermarket aisle has generally been flown halfway around the world before it gets to you. This obviously has a fairly significant environmental impact but also means it simply won\u2019t last as long once you get it home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buying locally and seasonally<\/strong> ensures your produce will last longer, so <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/zero-waste-living\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">less will go to waste<\/a>. Moreover, it will also give you the maximum nutritional benefit compared with mass-produced supermarket produce.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Bonus Tip! <\/strong>Keep your potato peelings \u2013 wash them, season and oven bake for tasty homemade crisps.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reducing food waste in your home is one of the best things you can do to minimize the effect you have on the environment.
