How many mandarin oranges wasted a year?

[Ultramega]

My mum bought a box of 30 mandarin oranges, then later 2 relatives gave us 2 more boxes of 12 each, total 30+12+12=54. Cannot finish. Just now wanted to eat, found some already dried up on the inside and hardened..... THROW!

 

My boss bought 20 over boxes, gave 2 oranges to each employee. Most of the oranges ended up as CNY decorations... put all over the tables, pantry, printer room, on top of cubicle partitions... all over the place. As not refrigerated, some started to turn mouldy... THROW!

 

And this is only 1 household and 1 office. How about the hundreds of thousands of other households and offices in SG and millions all over the world?

 

I wonder how many mandarin oranges are wasted every CNY?

 

What a waste!

[Knht]

should have accumulated those harden oranges and keep in fridge, then wait till this sunday chap goh mei and take them to singapore riverside, to sell to people who want to throw orange.....LOL

my coy gave us 4 kums for everyone and yet most ppl dont bother to eat it. most of them will display on their cubicles till they shrink and rot like last yr.

 

seriously they r wasting the kums...is it so hard to just take home and eat it?

when i was in Thailand, hawkers there squashed them fresh to make juice to be sold in bottles. They called it "Orange Juice". Indeed v diff from our version here

[Rollagt]

Dun waste food lor..if those not spoilt then finish up. Bring to office after lunch eat also good.

 

I had seen severe food wastage hence I very particular towards food wastage.

 

I used to work as waiter and ever saw a chef pour a big pot of shark's fin into the sewage pipe as normal bin cant take the scalding hot soup..

Try making salad with these mandarins. My favourite salad sauce is the sesame-soy dressing.

Every year, I bought 2-3 cartons [36/box] and immediately keep in fridge for own consumption.

I only select the Lukan, which dun look nice on the outside, but juicy and less seeds on inside.

When chilled, provided a very good thirst quencher after eating groundnut, cookies, etc....

Each time 3 oranges x 3 times a day = 9/day.

 

Just keep 4-8 oranges on table for CNY visitings.

 

So every year, no wastage

Actually Lukan looks nice on the outside.

 

Pongkan is the one that has wrinkled skin.

Food wastage is very common in office and when u eat w your colleagues.

 

sometimes ppl come back from overseas holiday and give them small treats like 1 pcs of sweet or choco, these ppl can just dump them aside for sometimes....i mean if u r not consuming, dont take or if take but dont eat, give to those who eat...
