#FoodActionWasteWeek
This year’s #FoodActionWasteWeek has been asking people to “Choose What You’ll Use”.
It encourages you to buy loose fresh veg to stop the huge amount of food that is wasted in households each year.
One other way you can reduce your food waste is with canned food. This is because canned food has a very long shelf life - often up to three years - which helps you use the food when you’ll need it.
To further reduce food waste, empty any partly used canned foods into a suitable container and store in the fridge as you would other refrigerated food.
Yes José Andrés ! This energy and passion for canned seafood is everything. It really is a marvel that such deliciousness is sealed up - ready to be enjoyed years later. The magic of canned food isn’t really magic at all, but the combination of hard work, human innovation and the gift that is beautiful fish, crab, oysters, mussels... the list goes on. Comment with a 🌊 below if you LOVE tinned seafood as much as Chef Jose Andres. If you’re really into food, we highly recommend listening to his ‘Longer Tables’ Podcast (this clip was reposted from the March 7 2023 episode).

If your spinach always goes bad before you get a chance to eat it, canned spinach is the way to go.
Especially because canned spinach actually contains more Vitamin C per serving than its fresh counterpart!
It's also a rich source of Vitamin K and potassium and is a great addition to dips, soups, omelettes or simple as a side.
