    Storage tip

    Carrots can easily be kept for a week or more in the vegetable drawer of the fridge. Remove the packaging (plastic bags, etc.) before you put them into the fridge. If you want to keep them extra fresh, wrap them in a moist towel.


    Foodsave tip

    You can refresh soft and limp carrots by soaking them in a bowl of cold water for a few hours before eating them. This restores the lost humidity in the carrots, which makes them crisp again.

    Foodsave tip

    Eggs can easily be kept 1 week beyond the "Best by" date if they are stored in the fridge (a constant temperature is important). Use the egg test in the video below to find out whether an egg is still good for consumption.

    Egg colour

    The colour of an egg is determined by the chicken's genetic background. The colour of a hen's earlobes (not the colour of the feathers) give an indication of the colour of the hen's eggs. Both white and brown eggs have identical taste and nutritional values.

    Mould on a chese does not always mean that the (whole) cheese needs to be thrown away. The Swiss association foodwaste.ch explains in this helpful video which types of mould there are and in which cases mouldy cheese is edible.
