Too Fresh To Waste · Tunisia
Fight Food Waste in Tunis
Every evening, bakeries along Avenue Habib Bourguiba, restaurants in the Medina and grocers in Lac 1 and Lac 2 close with perfectly good food unsold. Too Fresh To Waste lets you reserve that food as a surprise bag at up to 70% off and collect it before closing time.
Why food waste matters in Tunis
As the capital and the densest food-retail market in Tunisia, Greater Tunis generates more surplus per square kilometre than anywhere else in the country. The concentration of bakeries, patisseries and quick-service restaurants between the city centre, Bardo and the northern suburbs means a bag is usually available within a short walk of wherever you are.
What you will find in a bag
Expect baguettes and mlawi from neighbourhood bakeries, briks and lablabi from small restaurants, French-style patisserie from the northern suburbs, and fresh produce from grocers near the central market.
