Hello,
I'm hoping to get some advice here.
For a 32 year old woman I'm rather embarrassed that this is an issue for me, I've just never stocked up on healthy fruit and veg.
My last diet I tended to get things as I needed them and avoided things like cucumber because they are long and I end up throwing it away and wasting it.
Now that my son is 2 and eats what we eat plus a baby on the way... I need to get my act together.
My last diet worked well for me but now I have a family I need to think of as well.
Storing of vege's and fruit, are their any sites out there that are good, my google searches have come up badly.
For example, I think I know its best to store radishes in the fridge in a bowel of water but how long until they go bad.
If I slice whole cucumber and put it in the fridge in a container, how long will it last?
I did food hygiene courses in the past which were great but they never really went I to detail of storage, just preparation.
I also didn't grow up with the best education regarding eating habits. I can't blame my mum really as her childhood was unthinkable and some of this carried into her parenting in the extreme opposite of what her extreme life was like.
I told hubby from the start that he's in charge of nutrition for our kids as I just don't feel I will be good at it. For example if he says no to treats then its a no, I might say yes every day to biscuits and cake, he's already told me not to give too much juice, a glass with breakfast and that's generally enough for a day. I only ever see French people with juice in the mornings.
Anyway... Any help here would be appreciated. If I can store my healthy things and make sure we eat them before they go bad its better for us as a family and also better that I don't waste food. Waste is never a good thing.
