Hey all, I’m trying to be a little more economical and reduce the amount of food I waste, and was wondering if there were any open-source apps that can track the best-before dates of the foods I buy so I can improve my meal-planning.

I saw that there’s Best-Before on F-Droid, but the last release was in July 2022, and I was curious if there was something more actively maintained.

    They’re good for as long as they pass the sniff test

      I think the opposite is true with spices. They’re so dry it would be uncommon for them to ever spoil like fresh foods would, but over time their aroma and taste weaken to the point that there’s really no point in using them.

        Right, so if you can’t detect anything when you sniff them, throw them out.

          Make sure you take a big deep breath when testing the bag of ginger dust.

          It’s a unique experience.
