Lots of foods are wasted in relatively small amounts but together they have a big impact, financially and environmentally! We buy and then throw away 200,000 tonnes of condiments, sauces, herbs and spices every year in the UK, costing us £700 million. Curry spices are a good example of something which appears to produce only small amounts of waste but due to the price the value is very significant.
Of all the sauces that we waste, cook-in sauces like pasta or curry sauce; and gravy, are the most commonly wasted - normally because we cook or serve too much of them, and then throw them away. Whether it’s half a jar of tomato sauce or a couple of spoonful’s of leftover jam it all adds up! Love Food Hate Waste has plenty of hints and tips to help everyone make the most of their favourite sauces and condiments, waste less, and save more. Find out more, get great hints and tips and recipe ideas in our 'It All adds Up' feature on the Love Food Hate Waste website.
