Using The Whole Pumpkin (& The Whole Apple‪)‬ Sustainable Minimalists

    • Home & Garden

Apple pie, Jack-o-lanterns, and gourds galore: Autumn has arrived!

Saving money and environmental resources starts by reducing—or even better, eliminating—food waste in your home. With a bit of forethought, we can get creative in the kitchen and commit to making use of *entire* food items this fall.

In this short and sweet episode I’m offering my best suggestions for using every part of our favorite fall foods—pumpkins and apples—including the pumpkin’s guts, the apple’s core, and more.

 

Here’s a preview:

[2:00] Friendly reminders re: the food waste problem

[4:15] 3 ways to use the whole pumpkin, including the seeds and guts

[7:45] All-things apples: what to do with those cores and peels?

 

Resources mentioned:



* Episode #112: The Nitty-Gritty Behind Microplastic Pollution

* Pumpkin butter in the crockpot recipe

* Pumpkin leftovers soup recipe



 

 

* Leave a voicemail with your question and I’ll answer it on-air! Here’s how: State your name then leave the show a message at (508) 960-9046. (This new feature only works with audience participation, so don’t be shy!)
