Next Level Savings
We're kicking off 2023 by celebrating warriors taking food waste avoidance to the next level!
Did you know you can eat potato peelings, broccoli stems, beetroot stalks, banana peels and celery leaves?
We’re kicking off 2023 by celebrating warriors who are taking food waste avoidance to the next level with surprising – and often weird and wacky – food waste-saving hacks!
Meet our next level savers:
- @rebelrecipes – sit back, relax and enjoy a movie with the perfect afternoon snack - potato peel crisps. Perfect combined with any creamy dip like sour cream or tzatziki.
- @Nigella Lawson, @Alice Zaslavsky, @Nadiya Hussain – from banana peel curry to banana peel burgers (which taste just like pulled pork!) these chefs are changing the food waste game.
- @melissaknorris – take a leaf out of Melissa’s book and preserve celery leaves in salt and use them to add flavour to all sorts of dishes.
- @environmentaleducation_ - we’ve learnt from this warrior there are many ways to eat broccoli stalks whether they’re sliced, diced or julienned. Add to soups, salads and stir-fries or whip up our broccoli mayo!
- @lagomchef – turn pesto pink by using beetroot stalks to create a tasty sauce – add to pasta or simply eat as a dip.
We’ve also got some handy tips on how to reduce food waste during BBQs and picnics these summer holidays.
