reknowable_resources Implementing waste prevention strategies similar to commercial kitchens can help you save food, time, money, and the environment. Scheduling meals in advance, planning recipes that share ingredients, and using perishable ingredients first helps ensure you’ll use everything you buy.

Store newer purchases further back to use older ingredients first, and plan your trimming and peeling to waste as little as necessary. Don’t forget to look for new ways to upcycle leftovers to give them a second life! You might not be able to eliminate 100% of your food waste, but a willingness to learn and change will help minimize waste over time.
