Waste Not When It Comes to Veggies

Approximately one-third of the world’s food supply is lost or wasted every year. Fruits and vegetables have the highest waste of any food, so we’ve gathered a few tips to help pack produce onto your plate and divert it from the dumpster.
​

Root Vegetables: Get Soup Savvy
Blending root vegetables is a quick, easy way to savor the flavors of the season. (They are easily frozen this way too.)


  • Try this Roasted Carrot Soup. Substituting traditionally-used heavy cream with Greek yogurt maintains creaminess and adds protein.

Leafy Greens: Wilted? That Works!
Sauteing leafy greens is a useful cooking strategy when their crispness begins to decline.


  • This Swiss Chard Frittata incorporates leaves and colorful stems, meaning none of the plant ends up in the trash.

Cauliflower: Go Halfsies with Grains
Cauliflower’s chameleon-like flavor makes it one of the most versatile vegetables out there.


  • Try a 50:50 ratio of rice to riced cauliflower, like with these Cauliflower Stuffed Peppers.
