Eating vegetables in season is beneficial because they are fresher, tastier and more nutritious as they are harvested at their peak ripeness.

Additionally, seasonal produce often comes from local farms, supporting local economies and reducing the environmental impact of transportation.

🌽 They taste better! Vegetables harvested at their peak ripeness have a superior taste and texture compared to those that have been stored for extended periods or transported long distances.

🍏 Produce harvested in season is likely to have a higher concentration of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, as they are able to fully develop their nutrient profile.

💰 When vegetables are in season, they are typically more abundant, leading to lower prices.

🚚 Choosing seasonal produce often means supporting local farmers and reducing the carbon footprint associated with transporting food over long distances.

👍 Buying seasonal vegetables directly from local farms or farmers' markets helps sustain local agricultural communities and encourages sustainable farming practices.

If you stick to this you will probably try a wider variety of vegetables throughout the year, which can contribute to a more balanced and nutritious diet.

Oh and don't forget to store them well, we use 4MyEarth Food and Bread Bags for our veggies in the fridge.

Bread - a staple food - doesn't last long. Whether you bake your own, buy from a bakery or a supermarket, sometimes you don't finish the loaf before it goes stale - in our home it's raison toast, great for a Sunday brekkie but then what to do?!

Pop it in the freezer - we recommend using our Bread Bags, they are Cotton, machine washable and last for years. Bread keeps well in the freezer, great for toast whenever you feel like it!

It's important to collect it up as little scraps get missed in the system!

This is something we do in our home - we have a little bowl on the bench, for all foil - we don't use much - I do like oxo stock cubes though! And the boys have their fair share of chocolate. So it goes in the bowl and scrunched up when it reaches the right size, into the recycling bin it goes.

I hate food waste. One thing that used to really irk me was frozen pastry - once you open the packet it's open! Freezer burnt edges - cracked and dry sheets. Until I discovered our Bread Bags are the perfect fit - you can actually get 2 packs into the one bag.

And it's easily identified in the freezer so you can grab as you need it. So no pastry goes to waste in our home now, yay!

Our Bread Bags are Cotton, machine washable and last for years. $24.95 in super cute prints.
