Got Bruised Apples? Here's 8 Ways to Use 'Em Up
October 25, 2021
Does bruised fruit on your counter start to bring you anxiety each time you step into the kitchen? Do you toss bruised apples into the trash? You are not alone.
There is a reason one bad apple spoils the bunch -- fruit emits ethylene as it ripens and actually signals to other fruit to ripen as well. So if you have one bruised piece of fruit sitting amongst a basket or bag, the others will likely follow suit.
Apples are actually one of the top ten produce items wasted in the U.S. Like many of us, we throw away fruit and vegetables every month but did you know Americans waste approximately $1800 annually and produce is one of the top items in landfills? By making an effort to waste less food at home, we can make a huge difference in the greenhouse gas emissions from food waste and save ourselves money.
