How can I use seasonal produce before it spoils?
Prioritise fragile produce, store items according to their needs, and plan flexible uses for ingredients nearing the end of their quality window. Discard produce with clear spoilage or unsafe conditions rather than trying to disguise it.
Why it happens
Produce spoils at different rates depending on moisture, maturity, temperature, handling and storage. Some vegetables deteriorate quickly once cut or damaged.
How it works
Respiration, moisture loss and microbial activity continue after harvest. Storage conditions affect their rates, so organising by perishability helps reduce waste.
