Vegetable scraps are the leftover parts of vegetables that are often discarded during cooking or food preparation. These scraps can include peels, stems, leaves, and cores. Instead of throwing them away, many people are discovering ways to use these scraps to reduce waste and save money.
One popular method for utilizing vegetable scraps is to create homemade vegetable broth. By simmering the scraps in water, you can extract flavors and nutrients, resulting in a delicious base for soups and stews. Additionally, some scraps can be composted, enriching the soil for future gardening, promoting sustainability, and supporting plant growth.
