Question

What do you do with leftover food at home?

Answer 1

Hint: In the United States nearly 40 percent of all food is wasted and most of which comes from households. There are many ways to reuse the edible leftovers.

Complete answer:
The food that is left over is used as the next day’s meal. Leftover vegetables can be easily combined to make new dishes. The grains and meat can be used in fried rice. If the leftovers are not sufficient enough for a full meal an extra snack or a side is taken. If the food is fresh enough you can give it someone who is hungry and needs food. The leftovers can be frozen so that it can be consumed later. This is helpful when you have a busy schedule and no time to make a meal. A few industrious folks make extra food and then swap it to get more variety. The leftovers can also be collected to make compost. They provide essential nutrients for the growth and development of plants.

Note: According to the international relief agency, Mercy Corps around 9 million people die every year because of hunger. One in nine people does not get healthy and sufficient food. So food is very important and as much as possible the food should be saved and not wasted. Cook only the amount you think you will have; do not let it go to waste, save resources and money.
