Cooking with Plant Scraps
Instead of throwing away plant scraps, they can be cooked, frozen, or pickled for later use. For example, beet greens are edible and can be sautéed with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic for a tasty side dish.
A visit to the farmers' market highlighted the common practice of discarding secondary plant parts. When purchasing beets, the seller typically chops off the foliage, which is often thrown away.
I'll take those, please," I blurted, catching him just before they hit the trash bin, and explaining that they're edible.
However, these scraps can be used in various dishes, reducing food waste and adding nutrition to meals. By utilizing the entire plant, home cooks can create delicious and sustainable meals.
