Actual food hack: Save vegetable trimmings in a bag in the freezer. Onion skins, carrot peelings, celery bits, broccoli stems, etc. When it's full, put them in a pot and cover with water and cook at medium heat for a couple hours to make free vegetable broth.

broccoli stems are yummy though

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

You still have to peel them right with like a peeler? Otherwise the skin can be tough.

It doesn't usually crunch. It's usually tough and very chewy and fibrous. Like a really tough stalk of celery.

Edit: Just to clarify I'm talking about this part of the broccoli.

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

yea just boil that and it's very tasty and easy to eat

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It's also good raw, but you do have to peel it.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

Agree to disagree, I've ruined more than one broccoli cheddar soup trusting a stem has softened enough when it's almost as cheap, and sometimes cheaper, to just get the florets.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Why would you waste the stem in soup when you could eat it raw?

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

Why do people like flavor?

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Put all your bones in a freezer bag and make bone broth. Free protein.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I've been doing that for years but I never thought to use vegetable waste. Plus I can make the most amazing vegan spaghetti sauce with it.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago

Vegetable will get you flavor. Bone broth gets you some real nutrition.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 0 points 1 month ago

Yeah but then you get a shit queue placement in your next reincarnation.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

I remember reading some kind of tip, maybe making a sauce out of onion and garlic skin, but in any case, is there any concern with mold or food safety with this method? There was some talk of it with whatever I read.

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

If you're freezing it all, no. It could get freezer burned but that just makes it taste off it should still be safe to eat. If you keep stuff in the fridge not freezer, or you let things sit on the counter too long between each processing step, it could go bad. That's just general food safety though not just a trimmings thing

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They go straight into the freezer, and are then boiled for a while, and then frozen and then boiled again.

I haven't had a problem, but you should probably wash them first

Well, that's the thing, who washes onion skins? Unless you're going to use them later. But even then, dirt tends to get stuck between the outer layers.

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz -3 points 1 month ago

i love it, but the "bag" to which you refer, is a plastic bag. the freezer? that you bought at a big box store? or say you bought second hand? that all requires massive amounts of infrastructure. Massive amounts of power. Massive engineering projects to bring you that power.

you're not a hippy just because you store veggies in the freezer.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It’s not more efficient. I’m just cheap.
