Have Your Food and Eat It: Food waste recipe book.
Do you know the difference between Use By and Best Before dates?- Can you safely reheat rice?
- Fed up with throwing away mouldy bread?
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
In the UK, we throw away 6.7m tonnes of food a year – that’s a third of the food we buy. Nearly half of that is fresh fruit and vegetables, bread, dairy, rice and pasta.
Research also shows that we throw away more food than we think we do. Some of the common reasons for throwing food away include buying too much in the first place, improper storage, not eating things in time and cooking too much – especially pasta and rice.
We know that food waste is a common problem, but what can we do to reduce it?
Recycle Devon has launched an online recipe book to help Devon residents waste less food. With a few tweaks and changes, the average family of four could save as much as £800 a year!
