The survey, commissioned by Aldi, found that a third (32 per cent) of us claim to have the best intentions to eat healthy fruits and vegetables.

However, more than half (54 per cent) admit to throwing too much of it away, with the average household chucking out a whopping nine pieces every week. Shockingly, over the course of a year, that amounts to £468. As part of the survey, Aldi also pinpointed the most commonly thrown away fresh food items in Britain.
Bananas top the list, with households each chucking away an average of 115 a year, while tomatoes, mushrooms, and 'easy peelers' are also ending up in the bin.
