Sadly I've met so many people who don't eat the broccoli stems, which is crazy because I think it's the best part.

One food waste hack I often use is to use any leftover beans, lentils or chickpeas to make veggies/bean burgers!

another way to use for example a squeezed lemon before throwing it away is to put it in the dishwasher :) it smells amazing and no need of any artificial scents :)

i have 2 tips for heating up leftovers, maybe people already know them but anyways if you want to heat up leftover pasta, boil some water and throw the pasta in for just a few seconds before taking it out again. the pasta will be as if it were just cooked if you want to heat up rice, put a little bit of water on it before placing it in the microwave and it won't turn out dry

Tilda J. Even rice that has dried out can be brought back to life! I love my instant pot but it tends to dry out my rice if left inside. Put a few table spoons in the bottom of your bowl & stir your rice in so it's all wet. Cover loosely & microwave for about 2 minutes. If it's still a bit dry repeat. Works every time!

If you want to go a step further with your lemon, you just throw an entire lemon into the blender, skin and all. Cut into manageable pieces for your blender and just blend it up (add a drop of water if needed). Then the same as you did in the video, freeze in an ice cube tray. You can also do this with kiwis (skin and all). It's great to flavour your water or smoothies. Also, for the stock scraps, you can include herb stalks, apple cores and skins, wilted salad leaves (the ones on the outside that always look unappetising), carrot tops, radish and beetroot leaves, garlic skins.

With dried out bread you can make croutons to top on salads and soups. Cut bread into cubes, fry with olive oil and spices (like whole cumin, rosemary) on low heat. Can also roast with seeds and nuts. Lately I have been using sunflower seeds with my homemade croutons- also good coupling with wilted salad to get crunch back!

food waste belongs into a compost pile or some of the other options rather than the trash where at all possible

Ignore "sell by" and "best before" dates. "Use by" are a bit more important but still, foods don't carry a personal agenda with it and at the strike of midnight turn bad. Use common sense, if it looks or smells iffy dont use it, if it looks and smells fine prepare it properly and enjoy.

Most foods with „use by“ on them aren‘t vegan anyway.

As a baker I try to always buy my lemons, limes and oranges when they're on sale. I will zest and juice them for future recipes. The freezer doesn't harm the flavor at all.

I use lemon juice when making homemade strawberry jam. I cut the lemon in half and squeeze out the juice required for the recipe. When I'm done with the lemon I place it in a bowl with a small amount of water. I then place it in the microwave for 5 minutes on high. I take a damp cloth and wipe the microwave clean. Works like a charm. Then dump the lemon in liquid into the garbage disposal and grind it up to clean and deodorize.

I never thought of using the scraps to make vegetable stock before. Thank you for the video!

I still don't agree with making kids clean their plates if they aren't hungry anymore. If I have to eat when I am full, I feel sick so why would I do that to another person? I'm completely anti food waste but I want my kids to learn to stop eating when they are no longer hungry. Most overweight people have lost that "you are full, stop eating" feeling and forcing non hungry children to eat encourages that. I just eat their leftovers myself or plop their covered plates in the fridge with a notes saying whose it is and they can eat it later or the next day.

@@mchobbit2951 Growing up with having to eat everything that was on my plate, i can see the point where you are coming from. My parents approach wasnt to force me to eat everything in one go and not learn when im full, but to teach me to manage my portion size from an very young age on and rather eat one smaller portion and then ask for another when i still was hungry. To achieve that my parents had me finish the meal before i was allowed any other food. For example: when i didnt finish my lunch i wasnt allowed to eat cake/dessert later that day or something else for dinner than my lunch. Believe me I learned that lesson fast. I learned to manage my portion size so good in three years of living alone i only had to throw out my food 3 or 4 times. ( I hope all of that is understandable as English ist my first language.)

I buy organic ginger and freeze the whole thing in the freezer skin and all.
