8 Easy Hacks to Prevent Food Wastage

5. Don’t Throw Out the Crusts!

If you don’t have a crust-loving family (seriously – they are the BEST part of the bread!!!), don’t just chuck them out. Keep one bread bag and every time you get a crust piece, keep adding to it. Bread crusts are perfect for making fresh breadcrumbs. They can be used to soak up excess oils when frying, or you can stick them in the backside of a roast chicken to stop the stuffing from coming out! So handy!

6. Don’t Throw Out Manky Bananas

Manky bananas are the BEST! Never chuck ’em out, just pop them out of their skin, break in half and pop them into a ziplock bag. They are great for fresh banana ice cream (just process the bananas in a food processor – instant ice cream) – or add to a smoothie. Or make the most amazing banana cake that man ever created! So handy to have in your freezer!

7. Buy Your Tomato Paste in BIG Containers and Freeze it

I don’t know how many times I buy tomato paste, and it ends up furry with its own population at the back of the fridge. Didn’t know you could freeze it – ingenious!

8. Keep Your Orange Peels To Make a Homemade Cleaner

What could be easier! Eat your orange and then use the skin to make a delicious smelling household cleaner that is gentle and has no harsh chemicals.
