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

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.

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

I think they were just making fun of the wording of " put all your bones…"

And your line evolved to suck cock and beg for more but some people rise above that.
Not you, obviously. But some.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

broccoli stems are yummy though
idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You still have to peel them right with like a peeler? Otherwise the skin can be tough.

The crunch is the appeal!
idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It doesn’t usually crunch. It’s usually tough and very chewy and fibrous. Like a really tough stalk of celery.
