- In today's video I share with you some of my favourite ways to reduce food waste at home! From zero waste recipes, to worm composting, to making meal plans! These are just a few of the ways I try to minimise food waste whilst also having those fresh foods all throughout the colder months. I also love to meal prep for the month, so I'll be exploring new recipes and creating more sustainable and zero waste food content soon.

This sort of education should be compulsory at schools! Along with visits to landfill, so people can have a better understanding of how out actions impact the environment. Thank you for keeping it realistic and for your nonjudgmental attitude 😊
This will always be a judgement free space ! Thanks for being here xx
I hear what you're saying but it's not even an option for people it should be an option in schools I agree but when you force people you just get people that are resentful and it can backfire then so I think it's better to offer the programs and educate people as to why they are correct and important😊
I think everybody will agree… food prices are INSANE!! We need to get the most out of our food… from peels to scraps to every little fibre and crumb. These food waste hacks are super useful as well as good for the planet and the wallet. Thanks, Immy, for all these tips and reminders. Now if you’ll excuse me… I’m off to make some bruised banana muffins🍌. Mmm… muffins!! Ⓜary💕
They are indeed absolutely wild right now! After editing this, I think I'm ready to make banana bread again too haha
You’re absolutely correct
As a farmer, I don't think food prices are crazy right now. I think as a culture we've undervalued food for a long time now. I love content like this because it shows the true value of food and advocates for good stewardship of our resources. ❤️
@@miraearles3372 I agree with you about undervaluing food… I, myself, have taken food for granted especially in my younger years. My partner and I have a massive veggie garden and a green house during the summer, and this really helps to cut down our costs at the grocery store and the farmer’s market. We preserve a lot of the summer’s bounty and we have a root cellar for winter root veggies. I’m not sure where you live, but I live in northern 🇨🇦 where food prices have tripled during the past two years. Yes, Immy’s content really brings awareness to the table, so to speak. Thanks for your great comment. Have an awesome weekend. Ⓜ️ary
Oh thank goodness for my frugal upbringing!! Nope, I never would have said this as a young person, but as an adult… my oh my, do I ever appreciate my parents who would not let us waste food or any other items in the house. Backyard garden, compost bin behind the garage, reusables, tuppers full of left-overs, and every little item was saved, reused, and stretched to the max!! These habits have stayed with me all my life. Isn’t is funny how we adopt the habits of our upbringing, even tho’ we may not have loved them when we were young and knew it all… haha!🤣 Ima loving Vlogus, Immy!! TYSM!! Ⓜary💕
Another great tip I got from Nigella once it to pour left over wine into an ice-cube tray and freeze it. Then just pop one or two to deglaze your pan. It's so useful to have these on hand when recipes call for red wine, but you don't want to open a bottle.
this is really smart! because if I have an open bottle - I will drink it, but will definitely never have a single glass-worth on hand to cook in the same week.
I take dark leafy greens and place the, directly in the freezer as soon as I realize I’m not using them fast enough. Then I add to soups, smoothies, curries, stirfrys. I freeze the heels of bread in a bag. When I run out of the breadcrumbs I’ve already made, I toast these slices and run them through a food processor and then freeze those breadcrumbs.
I looooove Vlogust already! Daily Immy content is unmatched hehe. Thanks for these tips and hacks, I have so much room for improvement when it comes to saving food scraps and using them for other things! Although we do have a compost, so most scraps end up being used to grow new food once it‘s all composted. Either way, it‘s great to have a few more ideas! 😊
I freeze leftover rice and either use it for another meal or add it to soups, salads, tacos. For extra mashed potatoes, I freeze to top a cottage pie. Vegetable scraps go in a freezer bag for a future vegetable stock.
Lots of great ideas! Who would have thought broccoli fries? 🤔
Store lettuce in a damp tea towel in the fridge - whole will keep longer but washed leaves keep well too. A limp lettuce will come back to life soaked in cool water for a few hours (then let it drip out well).
Luckily for me I have dogs that love veggies and will eat my veggie scraps, haha. But apparently some dogs are very picky
I really like how you said to use what hacks and tips we can and leave the rest - I feel like that's such a gentle and reassuring approach! also, aquafaba works amazing in a chocolate mousse, I've made it so many times!
Aquafaba in humus makes it lighter/ smoother and compensates for leaving out the oil.
Re: wine, freeze it. Those ice cubes can be added to any recipe that asks for a bit of wine or a number of stews
I do all the things pls wasting. I like the idea of a food waste journal. I menu plan and meal prep. I don't always eat everything before they go off and it breaks my heart. It's a learning process.
I can't wait to try the avocado-pit dyeing! I even have a dress already picked out to dye! I freeze my homemade bread to avoid it going stale, scrub my veggies with baking soda to avoid peeling, and love making veggie stock with my scraps! I didn't know people tossed their broccoli stalks until a few months ago and was honestly shocked! I've always just cooked them with the crowns like regular broccoli!
Going to have to try the fruit rollups and super greens powder! I'm also planning to get some little herb plants for my window sill and I can't wait!
if you have a community garden near you check if they have a compost bin you are allowed to contribute to! i take my compostable waste to my community compost since i garden there anyways :)
I slice my broccoli stems very, very thinly & steam them with the rest of the broccoli. Tastes delicious
I loved the inclusion of your version of Shelbi's "do your best and advocate for the rest." We moved to our new place late in the growing season, but I'm hoping that next year I'll be able to get my own little garden and compost station going!
Roasted broccoli coins are amazing. I cut the stalks into little discs and roast with olive oil. So much better than the florets.
Our Guinea pigs are food waste hero’s , they never let any veg go to waste :D
I like taking broccoli stems and putting it in the food processor using the cheese blade to make cole slaw. I love this segment. Thanks
Brilliant idea! Thanks so much for sharing x
For people that don't have as much space, you can bake your veggie scraps real low to give a roasted flavor while drying them out. You can then blend them up to make a veggie powder to make stock on demand.
THATS SO SMART!!!! You’re amazing
"Cupboard sweep" added to calendar with monthly reminder for Tuesday morning when things are quiet and I usually don't go to town.
thank for the video. I really liked how you reused your own footage (lovely scenes) and the video overall still feels fresh and new ♥
Citrus peel can be dried use an air freshener in the fridge or room; when soaked overnight and adding to smelly pots helps to refresh them, particularly effective when use them with soda crystals.
Omg Immy, I love waking up to a new video from you every morning. Thank you so much for your hardwork and amazing videos. Youre one of my favourites here on YT. ❤️
These comments literally make it all completely worth it! Thank you so much for tuning in
I think it is important to mention the energy usage of using your oven for potato skin crisps or dehydrating lemons or greens. Always make sure your oven is full or you are negating any potential environmental benefits, especially if you compost.
Broccoli stems: cut them into chunks and peel. They're great in stir frys or sliced and mixed with corn!
would you ever do more vlog-type videos? like just a day of whatever you’re up to :o i just love ur commentary, insights and sense of humor :) totally understand if that isn’t really your jam though ! ~~
Omg absolutely! I’m never sure what people want to see so I’ll def do more vlogs if you’re interested! I’m actually filming a more vlog style video today 🥰
Lots of great ideas. Some of which I do already. However the cost of electricity (at least here in the UK) is so high that using an oven is very expensive. We don't really use ours now. How about examples of how to do some of these things 'low power' ways? That would be great
solar oven or toaster oven maybe?
@@user-fn7uo6ku9m Solar oven? In the UK ?? lol We have a toaster oven and use that.
idk maybe worth a try 😅 they work like a greenhouse so they trap heat even when its a bit overcast. toaster oven is definitely more consistent, though
This video made my day, thanks so much. Feels good too that i do practice 2/3 of these zero waste as best as i can
Wonderful!
Ciao, thank you very much for your interesting Video 🙂 i'm Not a vegan, but a Veggie, so many greetings from Brunswick in Germany and please stay safe 🙂
Love it, thanks a lot! Talking of pumpkin seeds, when you make a soup, boil them as well. When you blend it, they will be completely smooth and you have more fibre ☺
Wow, what a fantastic video. Thank you!
The peach roll up 🙃
This is so so helpful. Thank you! 🌱
Great ideas!
Love love love these tips 🎉
Thank you! Loved the video!
What a great video! Love it! Would like some recipes in the description 😊❤
Awesome tips! Thank you :)
So many great tips!
Excellent tips and tricks Immy! Thank you! ✌️🌱
These ideas seem useful. Thank you for sharing!
Great video!!! Thank you 😊
Your voice is so relaxing!! And your content amazing! Thank you
This video is brilliant !! Learnt so much in such a short clip !!! Love it thank you
I've recently "found" your channel again and I'm really enjoying your content!
I love your videos! It’s honestly so refreshing to see someone care about our environment and not another watch me try useless stuff I saw I don’t even need 😄
such a nice and easy to listen to video!thank you
Thank you so much for this video full of wisdom and practical tips ❤
Loving these video series. I didn’t realise you were uploading fault and just saw myself blessed with so many new videos. ❤❤❤
you’re spoiling us with all these videos lately! endurance queeeeeeen!
Amazing video as per usual!
The last hack is probably my favourite. I'm so bad with food waste. I'm going to be coming back to this video often. 💚💙
Great suggestions 👍
This video is full of super helpful ideas and hacks to prevent food waste. I loved it! Thanks Immy for sharing all of your precious knowledge with us. Btw, I also LOVE your skilled girl summer series! I feel so inspired and also relaxed to just start somewhere instead of trying to be an expert from the beginning. Failing often helps us find our own individual way through life. I really like that and appreciate your way of thinking. 😊✌
Hi there very helpful video everyone should watch, its a great way to reuse or use what food we have, l never throw away food if its old an l can't make anything out of it then it goes, thanks for the helpful tips,l absolutely love your channel, Have a wonderful week 😊 ❤❤❤❤
Very good tips❤
It's amazing the plant parts that are edible that we discard. I now eat the leaves of my cauliflowers - I treat them like a different veggie. They can be quite bitter, so they need some salt or to be boiled first. Anyway, I like them in fried rice and stews. Good filler!
Oh wow, the homemade fruit roll ups shocked me, thats how you make it??
I know! So so so simple
Ummm, so at what temperature and for how long??
@@missgreece91 Just put up a short specifically on this! But the lowest temp your oven will go, I did 170f for 6 hours
@@SustainablyVegan ahh perfect, i want to do that right now lol! Have plenty of mangoes and got tired of eating them raw, smoothie and in salads, now i can make dried fruit to go for time to time
We make vanilla sugar with used vanilla peels. You can just fill it up over and over
It's amazing how much sugar a pod will infuse with vanilla flavour!!
Oh my goodness, Immy that was tip-tastic. I'm going to have to watch it a few times and save to my favourites. Thank you so much. What a bloody brilliant video!!!. If anyone has left over Mars bar or similar squishy chocolate and not full bottle of vodka... cut of the Mars bar, pop it in the vodka bottle, put the top on TIGHTLY and then next time you run the hot cycle on your dishwasher, just pop the bottle in.the Mars bar will melt and you'll have chocolate toffee vodka. My 70something Mum told me this 😊
This is great
Another use for broccoli stalks is to peel them for a pesto!
Such a great idea, thanks so much for sharing
Anyone know where she got her mortar and pestle? Such a nice design
I love putting my avocado seeds into the compost. We have random fully grown trees from this.
What reusable silicone ziplocks do you use? I have tried a few brands and they don’t work well
I have the same question
This might be a stupid question but to make apple cider vinegar, what liquid did you put the apple scraps in? Is it just vinegar that you're flavouring with apple or is it water or something that turns into vinegar?
It’s water. The yeast from the apples ferments with it and produces vinegar
Wow
In the UK it's not apple cider vinegar it's simply cider vinegar, because cider by definition is made of apples.
Sorry but the tip about hang drying fresh herbs!? Genius
Liked to come back laterz💜
Lovely eco content
buy frozen spinach. I am too lazy to blanch it and then put it in ice water and then freeze it if it already comes cheaper than frech spinach in cardboard.
Broccoli stalks are superior to broccoli heads/flowers! You should ALWAYS eat the stalk.
there are people they don't eat broccoli stems?😳
