Zero sprechi : Mantenere il cibo fresco e diventare creativi con gli avanzi

Grandi quantità di cibo vengono buttate via ogni giorno. Pianificare gli acquisti di alimenti, conservarli in modo corretto e adottare un approccio più consapevole a ciò che si mangia, sono tutte azioni che possono aiutare nella riduzione dello spreco alimentare. Anche piccoli cambiamenti possono fare la differenza nel diminuire gli sprechi o addirittura evitarli completamente. Nessuno, però, è perfetto : non abbiamo bisogno di raggiungere uno stile di vita a zero sprechi immediatamente, dobbiamo solamente muovere i prini passi. Grazie ad alcuni trucchi per mantenere freschi frutta, verdura ed altri preziosi prodotti , e addirittura utilizzandone alcuni oltre la loro scandenza, puoi ridurre lo spreco alimentare al minimo o persino eliminarlo interamente. Perchè non iniziare a diventare creativo con gli avanzi?

Il meal prep fa risparmiare tempo, fatica e riduce lo spreco alimentare

Se mangi solo piccole porzioni e se preferisci evitare di stare più volte in cucina per molto tempo, puoi sfruttare questa situazione a tuo vantaggio. Scegli semplicemente un momento per cucinare in più, conservando poi le singole porzioni nel frigo o nel freezer. Questo metodo funziona particolarmente bene con zuppe, sughi e piatti come ad esempio la ratatouille. Un tempo conosciuta come "pre-cooking", questa pratica ora viene chiamata con il più trendy "meal prep". Questa moda porta con sè una serie di vantaggi, permettendoti di cucinare con prodotti freschi dal mercato, conservando ciò che hai preparato finchè non decidi di mangiarlo.

Imperfect food.

Fruit and vegetables that have been discarded, simply because they don’t look perfect, account for a serious share of the global food waste problem. Most of the time, misshaped produce is already separated out during the harvest and doesn’t even make it to the market, only because it does not meet our aesthetic expectations.Too bent, too straight, too knobbly, too smooth – there are numerous reasons why so many perfectly edible apples, carrots and the like end up in the bin. However, these less attractive products taste just as delicious.
