Food Waste - How it impacts your everyday life!

August 5, 2022

You need to make some changes. In fact, we all do. To use it all: saving the planet (and your wallet!), you can start by making better decisions when purchasing, preparing and storing produce.

DID YOU KNOW...

It's a staggering number. The good news is that you are in control of saving this money and the benefit to the planet is paramount. Remember, all you have to do is "use it all"!

How can you #useitall?

From Strawberry tops to Mini Caps® bottoms, you can always find a use for your produce off-cuts. They can be easily made into fruit leathers that are the perfect on-the-go snack.

Don't discard your strawberry leaves or Capsicum stems!

If you're using every part of your fruit and vegetables, you are cutting down the cost of your next shop. Kids' snacks are always at the top of your shopping list, and there's an easy and healthy solution right in front of you; just #useitall.

Scrap Broth

Carrots, Capsicum and celery, oh my! There's no need to throw out your off-cuts. Boil down your leftover vegetables, season to taste and use your delicious broth for future meals.
