40% of food waste comes from our homes. Here is a guide as to how long after the expiration date you can use it. When in doubt, use your nose. How do you rescue food at your home?
Kale stems are just as delicious as the leaves! Sauté or steam them. #nofoodwaste

Eat your radish greens!
Small radishes like this one tend to have nice, tender greens that taste very similar to the radish themselves. Use them to add a little spice to your greens mix. #nofoodwaste #FoodRevolution

sugardetoxme I love baby radishes and turnips. Eat the whole thing!! BTW, I wanted to let you know that those lacewings work like a charm indoors! No aphids!

JenniferEmilson Oh yes- I roast them just like kale or Brussels sprouts chips!!

olivettefarm @JenniferEmilson yes! So good.

Beet fusilli from @sfoglini with wild caught Alaskan salmon + lots of #leftover veggies made a solidly flavorful #nofoodwaste dinner
Greens were wilted, but a quick sauté with garlic brought them back to life. Made the tomato sauce with some pretty mushy tomatoes from the farmers market. Simply delicious!

Egg shells are an excellent source of calcium. Sprinkle crushed shells around the base of pepper or tomato plants for an extra nutrient boost! #NoFoodWaste

JoanneG Such a cool tip. I'll definitely try this.

@Rachna I am a fan of vegetable hierarchy.

Another #nofoodwaste tip is to chop up wilting vegetables and freeze them to use later in broths. For fruits, I juice them and put them in ice cube trays to use in cocktails.
