How to keep more food on the table

   It's said that in some parts of the world,people are facing the problem of hunger. So what can we do to help them? Here are some tips:

Cook from the fridge 

   Start with the fresh food. If you have some in the fridge,use it first. Make a meal with what you have got instead of running out to the supermarket for something else. You’ll probably save more time using what's on hand.

Learn to read the labels (标签)

    "Best-before" and " use-by” dates are more important. Learn to know the different periods of food and know what foods are good for. For example,black bananas are proper for baking,fresh vegetables are good in soups,bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces.

Use the freezer (冷冻室)

Mark the date of the foo^ffearby,so it's easy to find the food you need to eat first and will nevej: leave it there for too long.
