Little Adulting win!

I was getting ready to do my weekly meal prep, and discovered that I have all my ingredients (or decent substitutes) already at the house!!

I've been using a freezer cooking menu planner to prep my dinners for the upcoming week, and this month I added a personal challenge I call Use what you have to use items already in my freezer/pantry/fridge as key ingredients in the menu to try and reduce my food waste from freezer burn or going stale.

Importance of Food Preservatives: Ensuring Quality and Safety

Food preservatives, including antimicrobial agents like sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate, natural preservatives such as sorbic acid, and chemical preservatives like butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), are essential additives added to food to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, thereby enhancing food safety and extending shelf life. These food preservatives prevent the growth of microorganisms, reducing the risk of food poisoning and ensuring the safety of food products. By maintaining physical and chemical stability, preservatives also contribute to reducing food waste and enabling the widespread availability of preserved foods throughout the year. By maintaining the quality and freshness of food items these preservatives can directly reduce food waste. This reduction occurs because preservatives help to uphold the physical and chemical stability of food, thereby minimizing spoilage and ensuring that consumers can access preserved foods consistently throughout the year.By effectively inhibiting bacterial growth and preventing foods from spoiling prematurely, these preservatives ensure that the food supply remains safe, reliable, and accessible, contributing to a more sustainable food system overall.
