Food Waste Tips
- Freeze food that is almost expired in order to preserve it.
- Compost your food waste. Some 14 percent of all the trash produced in America consists of food scraps! Many cities and towns have community drop off points or municipal pickups.
- Cooked too much food? Share extras with friends, family or co-workers. They'll thank you and your food won't go to waste.
- Eat before you shop. Food shopping on a full stomach can help you avoid impulse purchases, which often wind up as food waste.
- Create a menu for the week and purchase only what it requires.
- Keep cilantro and parsley stems, onion peels, celery leaves, mushroom stems and other veggie scraps in a bag in your freezer. When you have enough, simmer them into a stock for soup.
- Use stale bread for French toast, bread pudding, croutons, fondue, meatballs or French onion soup.
- Combine small mixed scraps of cheese to make fondue, macaroni and cheese, salad or sliced fruit toppers.
