Cooking from the Compost!
So for years I have been a scavenger, scrounger penny pincher when it comes to food. So what it has a blemish. If I don’t have to pay full price, it’s cool with me! For years, i worked at an organic market, in the produce department, that holds high standards for the quality of their produce which means a lot gets thrown away! What a wasteful place America is. At least where I work they compost it. Meaning there are bins where they take the bagged rejects out to for people to use as compost. A perk for working in the department is first dibs on the rejects! Awesome!! Free organics?!? Um, YES!
I’ve been cooking out of the trash for years and I thought I would start sharing some meals with you. Here is a grilled veggie pizza I made the other night.
Reblogged from: Grace Alley Treasures, you want to see the pizza, then roll on over there.
I have posted on this before.
We don’t need to have perfect veges and produce.
The supermarket lines them all up with nary a blemish
Your fruit and vege don’t need to be perfect. If you shop for perfection then you are one of the ones responsible for food wastage and shortage.
Your apple doesn’t need to be perfect.
It can have a spot or blemish…
Cut out the blemish, it tastes just fine.
You too can eat well from fruit and vege destined for the compost heap.
