Potatoes and other root vegetables<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Fruits and vegetables<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. Seafood\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4. Bread and rice\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5. Lentils and peas\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To address this moral issue of food waste, we have decided to present some food hacks and ways to use them that you can use to keep it longer and get more out of these ingredients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Potatoes, beets, radish, and carrots:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Root vegetables should be stored in wire mesh or natural fiber baskets at room temperature. Store potatoes in ventilated baskets or metal bins, or even a sturdy cardboard box holes poked in the sides. Make sure the container is covered with newspaper or cardboard so no light can penetrate. If they are close to expiry date; spice them up and roast them! Mashed potatoes are popular if you put enough butter in the mash (;D)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Fruits and vegetables:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Do not store fruits and vegetables together: Fruits that give off high levels of ethylene (the ripening agent) can prematurely ripen and spoil surrounding vegetables.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>For vegetables:<\/strong> Before storing, remove ties and rubber bands and trim any leafy ends. Leave an inch to keep the vegetable from drying out. The bag you store the veggies in should have some holes punctured for good airflow. Pack vegetables loosely in the refrigerator. The closer they are, the quicker they will rot.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>For fruits:<\/strong> Non-cherry stone fruits, avocados, tomatoes, mangoes, melons, apples, and pears will continue to ripen on a countertop, while items like bell peppers, grapes, all citrus, and berries should be refrigerated. Bananas ripen very quickly and will speed the ripening next to other fruits.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fruit can be cut up and frozen (this way they will last longer) and you can make smoothies of them whenever you need them. Pickled vegetables last longer and are very delicious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Seafood:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The fish should be almost odorless, at most have a hint of the sea or iodine. The older a fish, the fishier it smells.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A shiny, firm and elastic surface appearance is a sign of freshness.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Press down firmly on the skin with your index finger. Fresh fish is firm and springs back to shape as soon as you remove your finger, leaving no indent. Flatfish species should not flop when picked up.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fish should be stored in ice and not on the ice so that it is evenly cooled.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Storing the fish and seafood at the right temperature is half the battle, and most of the seafood is defrosted best slowly in a refrigerator. If the fish is cooked and then you want to reheat it slowly and add ingredients as you do it. Tacos, paella, tostadas, and pasta are all recipes that go well with fish. Is that water running in your mouth yet? \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Bread and rice:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The best way to store bread is in plastic and on the counter. Some people think that putting it in the fridge will make it stay crisp longer, but that is the opposite &#8211; it helps the process along. Freeze the bread if you need to store it for longer and take it out for 1 hour or so before you eat and it will be as if you just bought it (I said as if). If the bread becomes stale and about to go bad, then you can either make croutons, toast it, or make some delicious melted cheese sandwiches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As for rice it is properly stored if it is at a cooled and dry place and the less humidity the better. Cooked rice should be cooled down quickly and then store it in an airtight container in the fridge. It can be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days but longer than this then it should be stored in the freezer. Frozen rice can be stored for months and the best way to use leftover rice is to fry it with whatever you desire.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Lentils and peas:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lentils and peas should be stored in a dry and cool place and can be stored indefinitely if not cooked. After it has been cooked it should have the same storing conditions as rice. It can be in the fridge for 3-5 days and many months in the freezer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lentils and peas leftovers are very easy to use and you just have to use your imagination. Wraps, soups, fritters, and veggie burgers. There are plenty of recipes out there and you\u2019ll just have to find one that matches your taste buds.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that the food wasted in the world could feed the 800 million people who are starving worldwide TWICE?\u00a0 In 2016, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) presented some data and we could see that some food categories were wasted more than others.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a look at the top &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.totalctrl.com\/no\/blog\/food-storing-and-leftovers\/\" class=\"more-link\">Fortsett \u00e5 lese<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> \u00abFood storing and leftovers\u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":921,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
