Ways to Eliminate Food Waste in Your Kitchen
Dr. Jonathan Deutsch, professor of culinary arts and food science at Drexel University, shared these tips:
1
Expand your idea of the edible parts of your ingredients.

2

Ask your butcher what parts don’t sell as well. For example, a shank is great in a stew.
3

5
Buy smaller quantities of food more frequently.
You may pay more by not buying in bulk, but you’ll likely waste less and save money.
