Raise your hand if you've ever tossed sprouted garlic. ✋ Don't be shy. It's happened. But did you know that those sprouts are actually perfectly fine to eat? Try them out! 📷: @waste.less.world, jennykendler.com #SaveTheFood #Food #Foodwaste #EndFoodWaste #ZeroWaste #RescueFood #Reclaim ・・・ @waste.less.world: While you may have been taught to toss garlic or onions if they sprout, there’s absolutely no reason not to eat them! You’re just getting a little extra nutrients, and can eat the green bit too. (Trust me, you’ll know when garlic has gone bad. It stinks!) And if your garlic is sprouting because you just bought way too much, consider planting it in the garden to harvest next year! • • • • • #wastelessworld #wasteless #savethefood #reducewaste #wastenot #zerowaste #recycling #upcycling #reducereuserecycle #creativereuse #vegetarianrecipes #veganrecipes #vegan #vegetarian #foodwaste #diy #eatlocal #garlic
