Can you explain the lifecycle of an onion?
Looking for some #kitchentips! I've just learned that onions don't last forever (I knew that, but this is still surprising). I was away from home for ~10 days, so my onions weren't given the usual ...

sugardetoxme You can regrow the onion by planting it and even harvest the onion greens!
Ramps (& chickweed) pesto #nofoodwaste
I bought too many ramps and too much chickweed a few weekends ago, so made it into pesto! (Yes, I cannot believe I pay for chickweed. It was a pest in my NC garden.) #cityslicker

gustin Curious what you pay for chickweed? I have literally acres of it that grows wild, makes a great ground cover
Harvesting Kohlrabi
We love to shred it and make a slaw with our Napa cabbage. We also cook the leaves low and slow similar to collards. #nofoodwaste #FoodRevolution

NehaNBB Wow, I knew that "sell by" meant that the product was probably good after the sell-by date, but I've definitely thrown stuff out past the sell by day 'just in case.' I'm glad this is finally...

GooseBarry @NehaNBB true, but I think we need to rely on our senses like we used to - bad milk smells bad. Maybe a milk sniff test workshop should be held in schools.
Same same but different: Melon bowl filled with mango chunks and almost spoiling peach leftovers. #nofoodwaste

Breakfast idea: make a papaya bowl and fill it with different things that you still have left in the fridge #nofoodwaste

RahulRaRa I love papaya but never thought to use it as a bowl.
-
carpe_deli Thank you so much @GooseBarry and yes @RahulRaRa you should definitely try it out 😉

“The fridge has turned into a kind of fantastic bridge between the neighbor who has a leftover plate of food, and the one who needs one.” #NoFoodWaste #foodnews

etsummer This is great. I think I read somewhere about an app that did this same sort of thing--sharing leftovers within the neighborhood. It would be more exclusive than this system though with...

DietID_TeamDietitians I love this so much. We should see if we can set one up in NYC!

Great #nofoodwaste tip, using those almost-out-the-door greens!

Gargeer! That's what some people call arugula or rocket around me. These greens wilt pretty easily in the heat, so this is a great recipe (I have no shortage of naan).
