Use these quick tips to stop food going bad before you get a chance to eat it!
- Store raw nuts and flours in containers in the refrigerator to help them last longer without going rancid.
- Line your refrigerator’s crisper drawer with paper towels to absorb excess moisture. They’ll absorb excess moisture which will help keep produce longer.
- Separate your bananas from one another after buying, they spoil slower.
- Do not throw away nut meal from homemade nut milk – use it for smoothies, baked goods, or freeze it and save it for later.
- Use the vegetable pulp from juicing to add fiber to smoothies or make crackers or bread.
- Keep all citrus fruits in the fridge – they will last up to 1-2 weeks longer.
- Do not wash dark leafy greens or berries until they are ready to consume.
