The British throw 3.2 billion banana every year – 115 for each family – according to the research.
A third of us (32 percent) claims that he has the best intentions for eating fruits, vegetables and health salads.
But 54 percent admit that a lot of it – nine weeks on average, reaches 468 pounds annually – according to new data.
Tomatoes and potatoes are the next element in the next fresh food, as the British come out 2.8 billion every year, every year (99 per family in the UK on average) – in addition to 2.6 billion islands (94 per family).
In general, 56 percent of those surveyed admits that they completely forget the healthy food they bought in the supermarket.
Nearly a quarter of (24 percent) says that they only pass half a bag of salad before having to get rid of it, with 57 percent admitting that they do not fully understand where and how to store food to keep it for a longer period.
Three out of ten (30 percent) of the British know the purchase of green banana to make it last longer, while only 29 percent know that it is better to put tomatoes on the table, not in the refrigerator.
I worked a food and author, Kate Hall, worked with Aldi to exchange advice to keep fresh fruits and vegetables for a longer period. “Food waste is a major issue for many families throughout the United Kingdom, which waste our time and money,” she says.

However, there are many small changes that we can make that can have a major positive effect.
“By storing our products differently or adopting some simple habits, we can significantly reduce food waste, save money, and make sure that we are eating that we worked hard to pay for.”
“If the customers are not satisfied with their purchase, they will be welcomed to return fresh fruits and vegetables to recover full money,” added Julie Ashledeld, the administrative director of the purchase at Aldi UK, who cost the survey of 2000 British.
The research also found that families are struggling more than not wasting food, as 28 percent correspond to the presence of a family that makes it very difficult to reduce food waste.
Interestingly, 55 percent of children between the ages of 45 to 59 believe that their age group is most concerned about reducing food waste compared to other generations.
