Zero Waste Cooking Tips

Vegetable Scraps

Use carrot tops for pesto, potato peels for chips, and broccoli stems in stir-fries.

Stale Bread

Make breadcrumbs, croutons, bread pudding, or French toast with day-old bread.

Citrus Peels

Create infused oils, vinegar, or use in cleaning products. Lemon peels make great tea!

Fruit Scraps

Banana peels for plant fertilizer, apple cores for vinegar, pineapple tops for planting.

Coffee Grounds

Use as compost, body scrub, or natural dye. Great for pest control in the garden.

Eggshells

Clean and crush for calcium-rich compost. Use as seedling pots or pest deterrents.
