Buy smaller things

popshed · 2008-05-03 19:15:58

This may be of use to somebody so no flaming please ;) When buying loose fruit and veg like bananas, onions and courgettes, which are sold by weight, it's completely pointless picking out the largest and most impressive examples, go for the smaller ones. You don't eat 40g of bananas, you eat 'a banana' whether it's large…

Cutting the stalks off the loose broccoli

Waste not want not! If you save those stalks from broccoli, cabbage etc they make really great stir fry ingredients.

The trick is to use a veg peeler and peel the stalks really thinly so they cook like chinese greens.

Cheap, full of fibre and vitamins and really good for you.

Dont throw it away, just prepare it differently.

Keep trying.........................what else is there to do?
