five tips of eating sustainable .
A lot of people are already trying, but still find it difficult to eat sustainable. Where to start? We have 5 tips to make it a little easier for you.
1. SMART GROCERY SHOPPING
Do your groceries once or twice per week and buy enough food for the rest of the week. Your wallet will be happy too because you probably won’t throw in those extras. This way you will waste less food in a week. It sounds like a lot of work, but if you do it smart, it will benefit you in many ways.
2. USE YOUR LEFTOVERS
To continue with tip number 1, any leftovers? Plan a night especially for them, do not throw any away. It is delicious anyway, you already had it for dinner before. 😉 Too much to handle? Freeze it and enjoy another time! Side tip: prepare something that you can keep a little longer.
3. EAT LOCAL
Local? How local exactly? Basically, everything that comes from within The Netherlands, but seasonal. Experiment with typical Dutch vegetables, prepare something new and minimize your own ecological footprint. Another side tip: buy a fruit- and vegetable calendar, this way you will know exactly which veggies or fruits are in season.
4. EAT LESS RED (OR PROCESSED) MEAT
Meat has a high impact on our environment. Eating a little less does absolutely no harm. Should you crave a nice steak, search the organic section, it tastes better anyway.
5. CHOOSE YOUR FISH WITH A SUSTAINABLE QUALITY MARK
We can do better when it comes to eating fish! Check if your fishy has an ASC or MSC quality mark, then you’ll know if it is sustainably farmed or caught. Like the fishies on our menu!
