Pineapple peels become juice, vegetable stalks enrich pies, soups, rice, risottos, etc.<\/p>\n<p>When the food is ready and at room temperature, freeze the surplus in individual portions for consumption (a ladleful of rice, beans, other cooked grains, etc.). If there is any leftovers, reduce the portion until you reach the ideal size.<br \/>\nFreeze only fresh food. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or remove from the freezer a few hours before consuming. Never refreeze.<\/p>\n<p>In general, they freeze very well:<br \/>\n\u2013 ready meals;<br \/>\n\u2013 breads, cakes, pies and savory snacks;<br \/>\n\u2013 seasonal fruits turn into pulp for nutritious natural juices;<br \/>\n\u2013 fresh braised tomato sauce;<br \/>\n\u2013 blanched vegetables and then cooled for about 3 minutes at each stage (research blanching technique).<br \/>\nThey don&#039;t freeze well: mayonnaise, raw salads, boiled eggs, boiled potatoes and sour cream, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Try to put only what you intend to eat on your plate. Repeat if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Choose seasonal products. They are cheaper and tastier.<\/p>\n<p>Try to buy products from the region. This helps to reduce pollution and losses caused by the transport of goods.<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-156\" href=\"http:\/\/blogpratocheio.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/29\/dicas-para-combater-o-desperdicio-de-alimentos\/alimentos-ecologicos\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-156\" title=\"ecological-foods\" src=\"http:\/\/blogpratocheio.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/alimentos-ecologicos.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"191\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Don&#039;t buy lettuce, carrots and other foods to remain forgotten and stale in the refrigerator drawer.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:x-small;\"><span style=\"font-size:small;\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.natureba.com.br\/\">http:\/\/www.natureba.com.br\/<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plan your purchases by checking what you already have at home.
