Simple Strategies to Cut Down Food Waste

Repurpose Banana Peels: Soak banana peels in water for a couple of days. After soaking, compost the peels and use the nutrient-rich water to hydrate your plants.

Freeze Lemon Juice: Squeeze lemons and freeze the juice in ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a container and store in the freezer, freeing up your tray for other uses.

Extend Potato Freshness: Store potatoes in a dark, cool place with apples. Apples emit ethylene gas, which helps keep potatoes fresh longer. Keep potatoes away from onions to prevent sprouting.

Preserve Carrots & Celery: Store carrots and celery in water to keep them crisp. Change the water every few days, and use the discarded water to nourish your garden or houseplants.

Freeze Herbs for Future Use: Place chopped herbs in an ice cube tray, cover with water or oil, and freeze. Once frozen, transfer the herb cubes to a container for easy access and reuse the tray.
Enjoy.
