Utilising correct storage methods, yourYour Food Collective goodies should last much longer than their supermarket cousins. That’s because our local produce is picked to order, rather than spending time in a storage facility before reaching you...
Meat- when kept in the fridge, consume your meat within 4 days. The meat we supply is fresh, so it is suitable to freeze too. Raw sausages can be frozen for up to 2 months, hamburger patties and mince are good for 4 months, steaks, chops and roasts - 6 months, while whole chickens can be kept frozen for one year.
Ready-made meals - made with fresh ingredients, these are clearly labelled with a ‘best by’ date. Yummiest when eaten fresh, these can also be frozen up to 3 months for later use.
Fruit and veg -Most of our vegetables keep really well in the fridge, with many customers reporting the taste and crunch is still excellent after 2 weeks! Potatoes, sweet and regular, are generally happy stored in a dark, dry pantry shelf for up to 3 weeks.
Fruit is best consumed within a few days of becoming ripe. Keep your tomatoes, bananas and citrus in a fruit bowl on the bench. Most other fruits, such as apples and grapes, prefer to keep their cool in the fridge.
