Essential Kitchen Hacks to Reduce Food Waste
- •Store green onions and herbs upright in a glass with a little water in the fridge to double their freshness.
- •Wrap hard cheeses in parchment paper rather than plastic wrap to allow them to breathe without molding.
- •Freeze leftover broth, tomato paste, and chopped garlic in ice cube trays for easy portioning in future dishes.
- •Turn stale bread into crunchy homemade croutons or savory French toast with eggs and milk.
- •Vegetable scraps (onion skins, carrot ends, celery leaves) can be frozen and boiled into rich homemade veggie stock.
