As soon as I get my veg home, I chop it up nicely and freeze it all, in little bags that I redeem from items that come in the post to my work! Did you know that electrical items like printers often put their instructions into a plastic bag with a re-seal on them? I use all of these up over and over again. They would only go to landfill.

Then I take out the veg I need as and when and make all sorts of yummy things, particularly soups, with them!

When prepping veg for a meal or a batch cooking session, I chop up all the peels, stalks, etc and put them in a large pan with a chopped onion, a few handfuls of red lentils and some bouillon powder, then cover it with water and boil until everything’s soft, then season (with garlic paste, lemon juice, etc) and liquidise for instant soup. Thrifty and delicious! People are always asking me for the recipe, but I have to tell them it’s a family secret in case they’re offended by me serving them leftovers…

I do sit my blueberries on a folded paper towel in the bottom of their container and another one on top and they last for getting on a month and aren’t mouldy! But I’ve never thought of doing that with raspberries or any other berries.
