Shopping
Short questions like what changes when you shop hungry, which line to compare between two similar products, and how to read the discount shelf are answered here.
How do you shop sustainably?
The guideline gives a separate list of strategies for this: making a list, not buying more than you need, choosing what is in season and locally produced, and checking the packaging.
How do you choose a packaged fruit product?
The guideline asks that fruit juices be 100 percent fruit, pasteurized and without added sugar, and that the canned fruit with the least added sugar be chosen.
How should you store dry goods?
How long a product in the pantry lasts is decided by the container, the light and the moisture. Visible storage decides how much of it gets used.
Which vegetables are in season in the winter months?
In the guideline's season table the winter months pass with brassicas and root vegetables: cauliflower, broccoli, leeks, celeriac, carrots.
Which vegetables are in season in spring?
The spring list is full of short-lived, fresh items: artichokes, broad beans, asparagus, spring onions, fresh garlic.
