Food scraps are the leftover bits of food that we don't eat, such as vegetable peels, fruit cores, and stale bread. These scraps often end up in the trash, but they can be useful in many ways. For example, they can be composted to create rich soil for gardens, helping plants grow healthier. Many people are becoming more aware of how to reduce waste and use food scraps creatively. Some even make delicious dishes from leftovers, like vegetable broth from scraps or banana bread from overripe bananas. By using food scraps wisely, we can help the environment and reduce waste.
