Handbook of good practices to reduce food waste

This is our handbook of good practices to reduce food waste from our homes.
1. We weigh food before cooking!
When we cook something, such as pasta, we do not make huge portions. We will never eat it all, then cook it right.
2. We use the leftovers!
If there are any leftovers not throw them. Use them to make other delicious dishes.
3. Let’s pay attention to the labels!
It is important to store food as reported on the package. If some foods are answered in a cool and dry, while others require the refrigerator.
4. Watch out for expiration dates false!
On the packaging are indicated expiration dates which in most cases are indicative.Some foods such as canned foods, honey, yogurt, coffee etc. .
5. Mini portions for everyone!
Even if you’ve cooked more than your family can eat do not be discouraged. In the dishes put small portions of food. If your loved ones will want more there will be for them but you risk throwing what’s on their plates. What is left in the pot will be the basis for the recipe tomorrow.
6. Petty expenses at the supermarket!
Although there are great deals at the supermarket do not buy more than your family can consume. This will prevent the food to throw expired.
7. Make a shopping list!
Avoid buying foods that you can eat. Make a shopping list will help you not only to waste less food but also to spend a lot less.
8. Put the vacuum!
Buy vacuum food or purchase a tool to do it. In this way the food will be retained and will retain their freshness longer.
9. Freeze what you do not will consume!
If you buy something in abundance scongelalo freeze it and when you need it. Foods like bread, salami, mozzarella etc. They can be fully answered in the freezer and use when needed.
10. Go with the gardening!
If you own the advanced food that you do not know how to reuse, trituralo and add it to the fertilizer and use it as fertilizer for your garden.
