We bin so much bagged salad every year, it's surely time to think again.
Figures from government waste advisory body WRAP suggest we chuck out 40% of the fresh lettuce and leafy greens we buy every year, making salads among the most wasted foods.
Shoppers don't always buy bagged salads with a specific meal in mind, meaning parts of, or even whole bags are often thrown away untouched, according to separate Tesco research.
Yet it's so easy to grow your own, insists charity Garden Organic (gardenorganic.org.uk), which promotes organic horticulture.
Growing your own mixed organic salad requires minimal space, with most varieties suitable for growing on a window ledge, says the charity's growing expert Dr Anton Rosenfeld.
