Food Reality
Every ingredient builds knowledge. Storage, freezing, shelf life, edible parts, common mistakes and how to waste less.
Broccoli7–10 days in the fridge. Yellowing florets mean eat today, not bin it.MilkUsually good several days past the date if it smells clean and pours smooth. Sour smell or lumps = no.Bread2–4 days fresh. Stale is not spoiled. Visible mould is — bin the whole loaf, not just the slice.BananasBrown skin is peak flavour, not spoilage. Only bin if the flesh is fermented or leaking.Strawberries2–4 days. One mouldy berry spreads fast — remove it and the rest are usually fine.Cooked rice24 hours in the fridge. Left out overnight = no, regardless of smell.TomatoesAbout a week ripe. Wrinkled and soft is cooking tomato, not bin tomato.
