Minimizing Food Misuse

There is, understandably, food waste in any kitchen whether it is peelings and cutoffs or unused extras. Wasted food means wasted money and in the case of expired leftovers, potential chaos with odours. In either case, wasted food is unfavourable.

Fruit and vegetable peels and seeds are packed with fibre and nutrients, so removing them from our diet is detrimental. There are lots of dishes that need someone to peel the fruit or veggie to get a specific desired texture but in some instances, you can avoid that. For instance, when making tomato sauce a quality immersion mixer can liquefy skins and seeds, creating a smooth and thick wholesome sauce. When making jams and preserves where the fruit is to be peeled, think about using a blender to process the fresh fruit into a sleek paste and save that wholesome nutrition.

We have a steam-juicer for making wine, jellies or syrup and use that leftover pulp to make fresh fruit natural leather. Our dogs absolutely love blackberry and apple pulp leather and we use it for training in place of costly dog treats.

Juicing is yet another example where waste (in this case pulp) is actually produced. That leftover pulp is either compostable or can be provided to hens; if you have these options definitely utilize all of them. Otherwise, the pulp can be dehydrated and mixed into powder. Store inside a sealed jar in the cupboard as you would for spices and herbs. The fruit powder can then be utilized in smoothies or salad dressings.

Owning a compact food dehydrator is also useful for processing garden harvests. Actually, anyone with a kitchen may benefit from owning one as it is so easy to dehydrate any leftover prepared vegetables or fruit. Different veggie powders can be mixed to make flavourful additions to soups, stews, casseroles and more. Dehydrated tomato or green pepper powders help thicken enchilada and tomato sauces. Add to homemade pasta and tortilla wrappers or sprinkle a mix of vegetable and fruit powders on your dog's meals for additional nutrition. In the past, we dehydrated leftovers, soups and even refried beans for backpacking.

Get innovative; you will never know when these powdered food items can come in useful. We made a batch of chicken lasagna lately, freezing several portions for later. Upon the first try of that recipe, we found it was quite watery. So when we took out the next iced meal of chicken lasagna, we decided that the remedy was to put a layer of tomato powder in the bottom of the casserole dish before laying the still frozen lasagna on top of it - resulting in a thick tomato sauce base after it had prepared.
