cry What happens in your household, when the fruit or vegetables start to mark or rot,
Do you throw them out or do you cut away the rot and use the remaining fruit or vegetables whistle


Do you eat fruit and vegetables that have started

If my appetite's been good, usually they don't rot because I eat everything up really fast. lol

But, mostly, I just cut off the rotting area and eat around it. But, I did throw a potato away because there was a big, gross, rotting hole in the middle of it. That's pretty rare, but you have to be careful with potatoes sometimes.

In our area, the weather got very warm for a few days and I've been noticing a lot of my fruits and vegetables had a lot of rotting holes in them. Usually, the store I buy them from is pretty good at having fresh produce. So, it must have been the weather.

Your right about the potatos if they go green dont eat it its toxic very poisonious, I live in the cooler area and our fruit and veg hold for some time but up north you buy by the day it goes off fast due to the tropics

In the summer we put all our fruits and veggies in the fridge due to the heat and humidity here as well. They last a lot longer this way as well. It sucks wanting an orange and you look into the fruit bowl and the oranges have mold on their skins.

If my man finds them he will eat them. If I spot them first they get thrown out. i do not like to waste food, but i will not eat rotten food either.

Funny that I think most men will eat fruit that has started to rot but a women wont, might have something to do with the unborn child thing. be she is or not.

If its just a small spot I will usually cut it out. Its rare for us to have anything that starts to rot with three kids running around.


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8759)  4 years ago

That can be done easy with kid as you see the need thats the fruit that goes first, so no rot or very little.

It depends on the rot. It its too gross then I throw them out. In case of fruits like banana a small mark is alright.
I don't like eating rotten fruits or veggies. I once ate a rotten apple and got stomach ache. I don't think you'll catch serious disease or anything by eating rotten fruits. You will suffer from stomach ache or the system will make you vomit.

Wise not to eat rotted fruit, most ferments, and thats yest, belly full of yeast will make you sick.

We try to compost our old produce! We can put it in the can for collection or make our own soil! Makes great soil, especially coffee grounds!


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8759)  4 years ago

thats a good way to go. home compost, nothing better,

With the cost of foods being so high lately we cut back the bad and eat the good. I then will be using the bad parts in my compost bin I am starting this year for my garden and flower beds etc.

well we dont buy too much so I dont have to throw fruit away. Where my husband works there is a fruit market 50m from his work place so he goes there during lunch and gets what we need. He does that at least 2 times a week. But yes somethimes we do have some that is starting to get bad somethimes we eat it if its still ok or I just make a drink if I know we are not going to eat them. I have one of those juicers and I put everything in.


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8759)  4 years ago

Make drinks or even cooking them into something is good

Well, I will try to salvage whatever it is edible. It is too wasteful to throw it away. Certainly, I will cut away the rotten part and eat or cook the remaining part.


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8759)  4 years ago

The waste can go into compost and is very good for the garden and plant later


myLot reputation of 84/100. ellie26 (2056)   ranked 384 out of 2,536 in fruit  4 years ago

You are so right about that! Now why didn't I think of that before? Thanks for the tip.


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8759)  4 years ago

even a small compost heep or bin will work ok, cost you nothe and if you get to much you can put it into plastic bags and give it to friends who have little garden they will love it (to buy that stuff you need to put the house down as a deposit (haha).

I will cut the spot out, if it is not too bad. Sometimes I don't find soon enough and then just throw it out. I can't wait to start getting vegetables from a garden.


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8759)  4 years ago

Any vegi or fruit waste can make good compost, and again you can save money when used in your garden, as there is no need to buy it,
