As spring arrives, you might notice small amounts of fresh herbs, leafy greens or leftover vegetables sitting in the fridge. Read on to find out the best way to get the most of out "forgotten" ingredients.

Bread is part of everyday life in many Swiss households. It’s on the breakfast table, packed into lunchboxes, and served alongside dinner. But because it goes stale quickly, bread is also one of the most wasted foods.

Best Before Doesn’t Mean Bad After Every year in Switzerland, large amounts of perfectly good food end up in the bin. Often, the reason is simple: confusion about date labels.

Flexible recipes make it easier to cook with what is already at home, instead of buying more and letting good food go unused. Winter vegetables and pulses store well, last longer, and suit colder months. That makes them ideal for everyday, sustainable cooking.

At ThanksGiver Schweiz, we believe good food should be accessible, affordable, and valued. Small choices at home help build a stronger, more sustainable food system for everyone.

Food is a gift. This season, let’s honour it through mindful cooking, thoughtful planning, and community support.

Bananas are one of the most commonly discarded food items right after bread and salad. But what to do with those brown, spotted, overripe bananas? They’re gold. Perfect for baking, naturally sweet, and packed with nutrients like potassium, folate, fiber, and antioxidants. They're just too good to throw away.

Every year billions of tons of food are wasted around the world. Globally a third of foods produced goes to waste which has a huge environmental impact. When we waste food, we also waste all the energy and water it takes to grow, harvest, transport, and package it.

Here, food is more than just nourishment — it’s connection, responsibility, and possibility. Every year in Switzerland, 2.8 million tons of food end up wasted, while thousands of households struggle to put meals on the table.
