Five Interesting Uses Of Fruits That Are Going Bad

 Well, repress yourself from discarding those unappetizing fruits that are slowly rotting because they can still serve some purpose!

If you look around your fridge, you might find those strawberries gradually shriveling, the apples becoming too soft, and the bananas turning brown. After spending a lot of time painstakingly picking fruits from the grocery store, if you have to let go of even one fruit, it is unfortunate. But fruits that are on the brink of rotting or parching do not necessarily have to be a lost cause. Here are some genius uses of near-spoiled fruits that will startle you.

Cube them

Want to make good use of your fruits that are turning bad? Place them in a juicer or blender, prepare a puree and freeze them in the ice cube tray. You can use these 'fruit cubes' to prepare smoothies, and cocktails, mix into your bowl of oats, or add flavor to sparkling water.

Use them to make face masks 

Face masks can eliminate all your skin woes, but it is unreasonable to spend money on them when you can prepare them at home, using natural ingredients from your kitchen. Raw fruits come packed with more benefits up their sleeve than you can imagine. Get hold of those shriveling papayas and blend them to prepare a face mask with brilliant exfoliating properties. Similarly, did you know avocados can slow down signs of aging, and tomatoes can help your skin acquire a radiant glow?

Polish shoes or silverware 

Scuffed shoes or dingy silverware? There is an easy hack to restore their shine: grab a banana peel, and it will do the trick. It may sound odd, but it works wonders. Grab a banana peel, remove those stringy fiber-like bits from the inside and rub the inner side of the peel to restore the luster of your dull silverware or shoes.

Make potpourri 

Potpourri can make lovely presents, and you may also use them in your own space. You will be taken aback on finding out how potpourri can instantly transform your minimal home into a fragrant paradise. To perk up your room, prepare potpourri at home using spices like cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and add dried natural items like pinecones and seasonal flowers. Arrange the mix in a bowl and add some lemon rind. To further boost its fragrance, sprinkle some scented oil from the top.

Roast them

If you have some grapes and pears that are turning soft and wrinkly, place them in the oven and roast to bring out their natural sweetness. You may use those roasted fruits in your breakfast cereal bowl or season your Brussels sprouts to achieve a savory dish.

Think twice before throwing away those not-so-fresh fruits, they may not be excellent for your tummy, but they have other excellent uses too!
