Are you looking to reduce your environmental impact and cut down on unnecessary packaging waste? One way to do so is by buying grains and other staples package free. But how can you achieve this? Let's explore some options.
Shop at Bulk Stores
Many bulk stores offer a wide variety of grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and other staples that you can purchase without any packaging. Simply bring your own reusable containers or bags, weigh them before filling, and then fill them up with the quantity you need. This way, you can avoid single-use plastic bags and containers. We're so lucky that we live in India, nearly every kirana and corner store stocks grains
Visit Farmers Markets
Farmers markets are another great place to find package-free veggies. Plus, you'll be supporting local farmers and producers in the process.
Buy in Larger Quantities
Another option for reducing packaging waste is to buy grains and staples in larger quantities. Look for stores that offer these items in bulk bins or larger packages that you can portion out at home. This can help reduce the amount of packaging waste generated from smaller, single-use packages.
