What to Eat First

Hey guys!  I don't know about you, but I don't like cleaning out my refrigerator.  I like having a clean refrigerator, it just pains me to throw away food that spoiled before I got around to eating it (a real struggle if you're cooking for one!).  I don't know if it's true or not, but VegetarianTimes.com reported the average family throws away approximately $600 in food every year (approximately 14% of food purchased, 25% of all produce purchased) - yikes!

To help, the website features a handy, dandy chart of what to eat first to avoid unnecessary spoilage.  It's been around for awhile, but I just stumbled upon it and plan to stick it on my refrigerator.  I hope this is helpful!  I really recommend that you read the whole article for more information about should (and should not) be stored next to each other, what should NOT be stored in the refrigerator, etc.  A copy of the whole article is available here.

Eat First: Sunday to Tuesday Artichokes Asparagus Avocados Bananas Basil Broccoli Cherries Corn Dill Green beans Mushrooms Mustard greens Strawberries Watercress
