I've lived on my own for a while and I freeze everything I can. Nothing lasts long enough unless it's frozen or shelf safe.
This does mean I get a lot of my fruits in smoothie form.
I'm lucky most vegan things last longer than the non-vegan things I grew up with.
I'm vegan too, and God bless how long our food lasts.
I'm so confused right now. We aren't completely vegan but we mostly cook vegan at home. But like, that's the majority of the stuff that goes bad? All the fresh vegetables and fruit? Vegan spreads, milks and yogurts go bad just as fast as dairy ones. I have the feeling oat milk goes bad faster than homogenized cow milk. Eggs never go bad. I hardly remember ever tossing a piece of meat or fish, but hell whenever I have to buy a 2 kg sack of carrots because it is just so much cheaper than 700g of carrots and 1/2 of it goes bad (and it's still cheaper) or I buy a perfect bell pepper just to open it to find mold or that brown stuff in avocado or I buy organic lemons and they are 2/3 moldy the next day I can't even... I have a special storage thing for potatoes and they still go bad occasionally. Yesterday garlic from the store was half rotten. Or when you didn't notice a tomato got a hit in your bag and that injury proceeds to mold... Or when your kid tossed the apples on the floor and they all develop bruises faster than you can eat them all and they just aren't that tasty anymore... We are trying our best to go to the store for fresh stuff daily but I feel like it is still a fight against nature.
So for real, what are you guys talking about? Absolutely no offense, I am genuinely curious why our experiences differ so vastly.
I dunno why exactly. It's just my experience.
Maybe it's because plant cells have cell walls, making them more rugged?
My veggies have always lasted the same amount of time, but things like tofu and milk last forever.
Plant milk last sooo long compared to cows milk.
"Plant milk" is not milk, it's a vegetable beverage.
Fuck, here I was, jerking off to the thought of almond titties all this time
You say that like it's something I care about. Only carnis get caught up about this.
It's white shit I pour on my cereal and drink with my pb sandwiches.
Fucking weirdos sucking on cow tits get upset when someone compares an alternative to their cow tit juice.
Cows milk is for baby cows, grow up and stop stealing from babies.
I just now for the first realize that my food waste has gone to almost 0 since i'm vegan.
Same. Maybe the odd head of lettuce.
You can dry-age beef for up to 4 months. Some people go even longer. Of course, you could also can it like fruits and vegetables, but I've never been a fan.
Then there's mastodon meat dug out of the tundra that dogs would still eat...
Maybe, but the smoothies are disgusting.
Mmm, mastodon smoothie.
Yes, how to dry age meat would be very useful to a vegan.
Fruits from warm climates on the other hand, take cold damage and go bad sooner in 4°C.
