Overheard a guy at the coffee shop say his family saves all their veggie scraps for broth, I always just trashed mine.
I was standing in line at this little cafe downtown and this guy was telling his friend how they keep a bag in the freezer for carrot tops, onion skins, celery ends, all that stuff. He said they make stock once a month and it cuts down their trash by a lot. I used to just throw all those scraps right in the bin without thinking. It hit me that I'm basically paying to throw away something I could use for free. So I started doing it last week, just threw a ziploc in the freezer and started filling it up. I made my first batch last night and it was way easier than I thought, just boil everything for an hour and strain it. Has anyone else tried this and noticed a big difference in how much trash they produce?
