Make small and simple changes to reduce food waste by:

• Storing food properly
• Eating what you buy

Apples storage:Store apples in the FRIDGE, ideally in their original packaging.If you want to FREEZE apples, first quickly cook them in boiling water and then slice them. Freeze in a single layer on GLAD Bake & Cooking Paper, then pack into GLAD Freezer Bags once frozen. You can use the frozen apples to make apple cake or apple sauce. According to LoveFoodHateWaste, "one bad apple can spoil the barrel, so keep an eye on your fruit."

Take out the rotten or over-ripe fruit from the others.With apples, cut off any bruised parts and eat the rest as is, grate into a salad, or add to a smoothie.You can use up wrinkly or soft fruit in smoothies. Apples which are past their best are ideal for stewing to make apple sauce or use up in a crumble.

All GLAD products are made for your convenience with the purpose of keeping your food fresh for longer. GLAD – Saving good food. From going bad.
