This article presents a creative way fans of coleslaw and Japanese food can help to mitigate food waste in a household environment. Along with presenting detailed, step by step instructions on how to make a tasty coleslaw recipe, readers learn about a variety of different ingredients that can be included in a coleslaw mixture such as carrots, corn, and ham. Japan’s National Federation of Agricultural Co-operative Associations came up with the recipe detailed in the article, which uses napa cabbage as it’s main green ingredient because it expires so much faster than the red, white, or green varieties of cabbage that are commonly used first. Using ingredients that spoil faster than others in the fridge as substitutes in our everyday recipes can help us mitigate household food waste and use our produce in a smarter, more timely manner.
