In this post I would like to share basics on how to preserve food or ingredients for a longer time, where it might be that you are staying alone at home and you are always busy.
Buying fruit and vegetables is always simple but on most times we don't consume all of them in one day. We always say we'll have that when, but before that date it's spoiled and we have to take it out, at that point it's money down the drain.
So something that will help us, is giving yourself and hour after doing grocery and just peeling some of your vegetables and plastic packing them into small packets for easy use whenever cooking. Butternut, green beans, carrots, grated tomatoes, etc. are easy to store after diced or chopped. You have to be careful cause not all fruits and veggies keep shape after defrosting e.g strawberries, and the following is good for freezing like pineapples and black berries.
Check out this ideas I saw on Pinterest:
 |
| Portioning helps a lot. Remember always to write down the name of the product and date on the bag |
 |
| You can mix your greens for your salads if you won't have time during the week and leave them on the fridge |
 |
| Or just freeze them separate |
 |
| One last tip if you don't want to waste any product is to make jam. Just mix 1 Kg of fruit e.g. strawberries, with 1 Kg. of sugar and cook them in low temperature for about half an hour. |
What else do you do to preserve your products?
