Love Food Hate Waste is the ‘Waste Not Want Not’ of the modern day, providing handy tips, advice and recipes for leftovers to help everyone waste less food.
Around a third of all the food we buy ends up being thrown in the bin and most of this could have been eaten.
Reducing food waste is a major issue and not just about good food going to waste; wasting food costs the average family £420 a year and has serious environmental implications too.
If we all stop wasting food that could have been eaten, the CO2 impact would be the equivalent of taking 1 in 5 cars off the road.
FOOD REVIVING TIPS
BANANAS - If bananas are getting too ripe, pop them in the freezer whole, then defrost them at a later time to mash & add to pancake batter or use in muffins or even add as part of the fluid to a choclate cake mix. ( 1/2 cup banana = 1/4 cup fluid).
VEG - Peel and chop carrots, onions, etc., bag them and freeze. When needed, just take out as much as you need and reseal. No more soggy veg at the bottom of your veg box.
These are just a few examples of the wealth of useful information about food on the Love Food Hate Waste campaign being supported by Better Tomorrows Community Interest Company to help you save money by reducing the amount of good and edible food going to landfill. This is being run in partnership with WRAP (The Waste and Resources Action Programme), a nationwide organisation responsible for encouraging recycling and home composting.
So why don't you help in these financially trying times to cut back on food waste.
