eating expired foods for a week!🥴🦠 jk but i am cleaning out the pantry tho

let me know if i should do more videos like this? i know this is quite messy because i didn't know how i was gonna end up editing it together while filming, but i think i have a better idea of how to organize a video like this in the future - checking kitchen inventory & meal planning n whatnot

I never ever pay attention to expiration dates. If it looks, smells and tastes fine, it's most likely no problem to eat it.

[@Tiffxit]

My anxiety doesn’t let me do this 😭 I won’t even eat food that’s exactly on the best before date

[@trinitylee]

@@Tiffxit I like to keep in mind that companies will probably put an earlier expiration date than necessary to avoid potential lawsuits

[@yin6177]

I agree. If I see "best before" or "best by", I think it's fine to eat after the date. The food wouldn't be in its "best" form, but at least it's not poisonous 😂

[@champagneandgummybears]

Especially for things like nuts. You will smell or taste if they are rancid really quickly.

[@daddomegahonk3471]

I do that too unless its dairy

[@xghoulishgalx]

Watching as I enjoy vegan coconut yogurt that's one month past its expiration date

[@emlyewng]

extra fermented 🤪

[@ILESSTHANTHREEss501]

The coconut yogurt from months ago in my fridge 👀👄👀 I’m scared to eat it.

[@mylapawielski]

I just assume because it’s vegan it can’t go expired but it always does

[@naomio8163]

@@emlyewng emily please what pizza dough recipe do you use in your vids it looks good

[@jordanbrandon1036]

Granola is 100% a comfort food. Mix it with yogurt, fruit, and peanut butter, and you have love in a bowl.

[@Shanaly2x]

I personally hate granola. It’s so rough lol. I just threw out my big box of granola i bought and let expire

[@apocalypsewowww]

Also, topped with apple butter, YUMMM 😋

[@teresamaria3525]

wouldn't classify it as a comfort food, a delicious one for sure, but comfort food makes you feel warm and enjoyable, youghurt bowl is more refreshing idk lol

[@beammeupjosi]

Two videos in a week LET'S GOOOO

[@hr6128]

if you toast your old nuts either in a dry pan or in the oven at 325 for a few mins it should crisp them up/rejuvenate them. you can also keep them in the freezer instead if you don't go through them quick enough

[@ihatehandles111]

honestly this video probably helped reduce hundreds of pounds of food waste by inspiring people to clean out their kitchens, so YES you should do more of this. gonna go see what goodies i've got hiding now

[@jessicalove231]

I’ve been watching you for a while now and just wanna say how much I appreciate you and your humor. Also I always get inspired from your meal creations no matter how “ugly” or “not presentable” so thank you!!!

This was the most enjoyable "what I eat in a week" i've ever seen!

[@Thatveganlifestyle]

2:48 You could make a "bircher" (burcha) musli with the leftover seeds and oats. It requires no cooking. It basically means you soak the oats with a variety of seeds overnight. It makes the nutrrients in the seeds more bioavailable apparently. I add raisins and dried fruit in mine and then eat it with peanut butter or almond butter.

[@aw1379]

Very good recommendation but your pronunciation guide of bircher is hilarious to me (no hate). The word is Swiss German so the “ch” is a guttural kind of sound... “bir - kher” is as close as I can get in English (i like in “in”, e like in “met”). Again, no hate, I also laugh at the way English speakers say “toblerone”. You’d probably laugh your butts of at the Swiss German pronunciation of “ketchup”...

[@aw1379]

Also, one excellent thing to add to bircher is grated apple. My favourite “base” is oats, apple, nd milk or yogurt, raisins, and a little bit of cinnamon. And then some seeds to top it in the morning - great start to the day!

[@Hannahbanana99xo]

I got goosebumps from how terrifying the mustard on the avocado toast was

[@pauladeensbuttbutter]

This comment made me lol and I agree 😂

[@leticiabarros2568]

Rice and beans are the ultimate Brazilian food! We eat a lot for lunch! Usually with meat, salad or farofa! Love it! You should totally try to make farofa is tapioca/manioc flour (idk how you call it) butter, onions and garlic. Put a lot of butter on a pan, fry the onion and garlic and put the flour and let it toast a little. Its amazing!!!

[@veglifehealth6217]

Loving your videos! I add goji berries to overnight oats. They plump up after soaking that long and then just have a mild berry flavor.

[@jesswueb9505]

“I left it in the oven overnight kind of on accident, but it was better the next day!” That is peak achillvegan vibes right there

[@meagnelhug9976]

This is the perfect video to be inspired by - got to eat all my university apartment food before I go home in 2 weeks! Chickpeas and cereal for dinner for me 🎉

[@suckonmyhooves]

I like the term "BEP chili." It sounds like something Julien would make.

I have things in my pantry that are yeaaaars old and have gone bad. They tend to be the stuff that are on the top shelves or in the very back that no one reaches for

[@JulieVeganEats]

I eat expired stuff all the time lol. I tell myself it’s fine if it’s vegan (yes I know that’s not true but that’s what I tell myself)

[@lacyparrish9389]

Omg! I do the same thing 😂

[@_reesejames_]

me too but why is this the logic that we’re running with? who told us that was okay ? 😂

[@kassidybrown4054]

Welllll, meat and animal products like milk and eggs, and even their derivatives, likely do expire long before plant-based ingredients, like flour and salt and other natural ingredients that might be preserved by other natural preservatives (salt, sugar, and citric acid are a big three!). I am just now getting into food science, so don’t take my word for it! 😅

[@alliem8497]

My boyfriend makes fun of me because I act like vegan food can’t go bad because “it’s not real meat/cheese/eggs” lmao

[@secretwallflower]

same!!! lol

[@dkaulitz13]

This is soooo helpful and inspiring!! I love your thought process and all the ideas you came up with

[@Kelbell252]

[@heatherfellows9465]

I really like this theme, and how you showed everything and gave ideas, even if you didn’t use them. It helps us get ideas of how to use up our items, too!

[@robin4923]

yea expiration dates are more for companies so you can't sue them, if it it looks + smells fine and the packaging isn't damaged (in the case of canned goods) you're probably fine.

[@aloao3028]

Your videos are the highlight of my day.

[@tiredapplestar]

Ugh. I just moved and found out I’m a hoarder of crackers. So. Many. Stale. Crackers.

[@theshanelizard6026]

same i crave crackers like once a year and everytime i’m like “i don’t have crackers i’ll need to buy new ones” so now i have like four quarter eaten boxes hahaha

[@tiredapplestar]

I’ve recently been seduced by all these vegan cauliflower crackers. I hope they’ll taste good, but they always seem to taste like the walls of a poorly attended aquarium.

[@annaboucher7135]

Maybe you could blend the goji berries to a powder to color smoothies? Idk if it would affect the flavor too much though.

[@yum.peace.happines1641]

I guess it would be more of a paste? But great idea 🥰 I always make energy balls out of "old" dried fruits to get rid of them (never buy goji berries though because I absolutely hate the taste of them 😅🤭)

wow, love it when you post during the day for me :D

I cannot get enough of how your hair and sweater match. Also in Chinese cuisine, they use goji berries to make herbal soup since they kind of add a unique sweetness and flavor.

You can freeze your ginger and grate it whie frozen. Lasts for a long time in the freezer!

[@CelineRazavi]

The safeway/albertsons near me always has bean sprouts, and you could crush up the stale ginger cookies to use in/on baked goods.

[@ChristinaLouise44]

Sometimes its actually worse to put sell by/use by dates on products. if they haven't had any preservatives or pesticides on them it's difficult to predict when things will go bad. Instead they use a number/code (the big long numbers) to say when the product was picked/produced and stores can use these numbers to rotate stock instead of sell by dates.

[@larahattingh]

You can freeze ginger & garlic so it lasts longer

[@dedoubecool]

💯 And it makes it easier to grate it into everything

[@yin6177]

I use instant oats that I don’t want to eat or are about to expire and make a honey oat bread, and you could throw leftover nuts and seeds into it too if desired or rye bread.

omg you’re spot on with the goji berries. I have mine in my pantry lol. I think it would be okay soaked and then used in a smoothie? I just want to hide the flavour

[@akshadalaliwala1648]

Store your nuts and dried fruits in the freezer, they last a lot longer. When you want to use them, just pull them out and let them thaw for 5ish mins, or stick them on a pan on the stove or toaster oven. I usually buy the big costco siz bags of nuts and do this, it really does last a long time. This way they also don't get the old oily taste.

[@mayasmith670]

[@onyxisacatsname]

My roommate and I just did a massive log of everything in our pantry, fridges, and freezers and now have a Google sheet so that we know what we have, where things are, what needs to get eaten soon, and what we need to buy. It's super helpful to know exactly what you have.

[@sienagallo199]

For bean sprouts - you can buy dried mung beans (sprouts sells in bulk section) and sprout your own! Very easy and only takes a couple of days

Goji berries can be used for beverages if you wanted to use it up. They taste good if you add it to hot water along with dried dates and brown sugar. Very effective for period cramps too! I'm chinese and we don't eat goji berries dried and typically you always want to soak them!

[@diclemre]

2:59 lol love this x x

[@kristinkiely]

DUDE i love your videos so so much. Also, the bread!!!!! It most likely sunk in because it was under baked (could also be expired leavener like the baking soda/baking powder. But since u said it wasn't cooked im leanin towards the rawness). Its the absolute WORST when that happens. With loaves it can be so hard to tell, so I always recommend using the toothpick method but also the finger poke method (lmao). Just poke the center of the loaf and if it springs back its totally done! The finger poke is pretty much a guaranteed result :) i hope it helps
