🌎 Keep seeds from recipe produce, such as bell peppers. Dry in the sun, plant and grow in your veggie garden or pots
🌎 Freeze excess chickpeas and aquafaba (chickpea liquid) for baking
🌎 Food that is beyond edible can be composted at home to make fertilizer for your garden
🌎 Use fresh produce that lasts longer from your own garden or local farmers market
