DietID_TeamDietitians this is awesome!! great #nofoodwaste tips! my big tip for food waste is to use the food that goes bad quickly before food that lasted longer- like greens before potatoes
-
Athina @Rachna I am a fan of vegetable hierarchy.

Athina 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.

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!

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!
