We waste a lot of food, and sometimes it's because we forget we had them in our homes. To avoid throwing stuff away, you can try these 16 brilliant food hacks to help you keep, revive or even make the most of the foods you have at home.

1. Oil your eggs to keep them fresh for three to four more weeks.


2. Spoon your ginger so that they are easy to peel and reduce it down to almost zero waste.


3. Poke your lemons and squeeze out what you need for recipes that require a bit of lemon juice and save the rest for later use.


4. Reuse cheese wrappers for storage so there won't be any dried-out cheese ends.


5. Add oil, vinegar, spices to a mayo jar and shake to make a creamy salad dressing.


6. Hide garlic and onions in holey paper bags to keep them fresh for at least two months.


7. Store your cut avocado with a cut onion to keep the brown away.


8. Store apples and potatoes together. The ethylene gas from apples will keep potatoes from sprouting.


9. Add warm milk to a Nutella jar and shake for instant hot chocolate so you don't waste what's almost finished.


10. Peel your mangoes with a glass and you'll leave no mango behind.


11. Store a pineapple upside down. It will speed the ripening process by forcing sugars to flow to the top.


12. Wrap celery in foil and you can keep it for a month.


13. Flip peanut butter upside down before you open it. Leave for a day.


14. Keep your bananas 3-5 days longer by wrapping the crown.


15. Make herb butter ice cubes and freeze them.


16. Reheat your pizza on a skillet.
