Sustainability

You should know what ingredients can be locally sourced, as well as the benefits of using locally sourced ingredients.

You should also be able to describe or explain the use of both sustainable ingredients and organic foods.

Example SQP Q1c:

Describe how two of the ingredients from the recipe could help the café meet its target of using sustainable ingredients.

Acceptable Answers

•Blueberries/butter/eggs/yogurt/milk can be produced in Scotland. This will reduce the ‘food miles’ of the ingredients.

•By using locally produced products such as blueberries/butter/eggs/yogurt/milk the café will help to sustain the local economy.

•By using free-range eggs the café is supporting the welfare of animals.
