Tasty Recipes for Reducing Food Waste

This month, the Simply Recipes team is bringing you easy ideas and recipes for how you can reduce food waste in your own home! While throwing away a wilted bunch of parsley or the end of a loaf of bread may seem small, they add up. Over one-third of the food supply in the United States goes uneaten according to the USDA. And in 2018, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that 40% of all food waste in the U.S. comes from consumers and consumer-facing businesses (like restaurants, grocery stores, cafeterias, etc.). This is especially upsetting when you consider that 38 million people in the country are food insecure. Not only is wasting food throwing away money, it's also bad for the environment. In fact, the EPA says that as of 2021, food waste is ,the most common material found in landfills in the United States. And globally, eight to 10 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions are linked to wasted food. The recipes in today's newsletter use the whole fruit or vegetable, so you don't even have to think about tossing anything out. Eat and sip your way to a zero-waste kitchen! Show me how!
