This is why you research food before getting it (1 Viewer)

I bought some taro root a few days ago, and forgot to check how long it lasts. I think my brain went "oh, root vegetable? No problem, it'll last a while". Spoiler alert, it doesn't. Mine hasn't gone bad yet but I won't be able to use it for 3 more days minimum because I'm waiting for something else to arrive. Thankfully that research also led me to learn I can freeze it to prevent it going bad, which is good because it means I won't have to worry about mushy spoiled taro But it's good I checked today it's shelf life before it spoiled. Would be disappointing to not be able to use it and waste food.

Wow, that's good advice hehe

Honestly food should come with a warning sticker, WARNING THIS FOOD GOES BAD FASTER THAN A BANANA

Lol over the years i pretty much have given up on fresh fruits and veggies unless i am going to eat them that day.
pretty consistently throw out more than i use and i dont buy that much.

heck i just tossed the outer half of an onion since it had started.
the jalapeno i have left is green red and orange.

Well i tend to more of a keto/Atkins diet. When i am being good which i have not been for most of the past year

Tomato's mushrooms spicy peppers, asparagus, avocados are my most common buys ( lemons and limes).

Do those diets not involve a fair amount of certain fresh veggies and/or fruits at least?

The vegetables and fruits I buy in the stores are getting mushy/rotten so easily, so I eat the veggies my parents grow or try to buy it from a farm. We freeze them if we can’t use them.

We grow some veggies too, but they aren't ready yet. If anything though it doesn't prevent them from going bad, instead when it's peak tomato season we're forced to eat a new tomato dish every day, oftentimes more than once a day, and constantly snack on tomatoes

Well, when it’s tomato season, it’s tomato season. We make juice, sauce, ketchup and sun-dried tomatoes from them, yet we also eat tomato related dishes all week.

Des your season only last a week? Or do you just mean the whole time?

No, not just a week. The whole time. Tbh, when tomato season ends, I feel like I already hate tomato.

most are net carb focused.
almost impossible to eat fruits or vegies and stay under 20 net carbs for the day.
I Tend to keep lots of raw nuts Almonds, walnuts and peanuts.
And spend what ever carbs i have left on flavor.
