Question:
When dicing rounded vegetables (such as carrots) and wanting to make them perfectly diced what can you do with all the scraps?
— Bill Schrier
Answer:
So, in the zero waste kitchen, uh, we will always have in mind something like a soup or a stew, or, um, you know, maybe they're a, a veg patty, you know, some sort of an outlet for those scraps. Um, we will try to consume them first. And, you know, maybe next down that, uh, that hierarchy would be a, a composting outlet. Um, and then hopefully it would stop there, right? Um, uh, you know, we, we wanna eliminate the trash can as an option, uh, but do try to think about, uh, how you would consume them in another preparation, right? Stir fries, stews, right? These sorts of things. Uh, you can make something and put it into a taco, you know, into a tortilla to make a taco or burrito or, you know, some other wrap of your, your choice.
