Tips to reduce waste:
- To reuse the pumpkin peels, we marinate it in a simple Vinegar based brine to add a tangy kick to everyday recipes.
- The Pumpkin seeds can also be roasted with salt to add an extra texture.
- In order to reduce food wastage on a daily basic, it becomes very important to utilize some cooking & preservation techniques to use most parts of the vegetable.
- Pickling, dehydrating, Jamming, Smoking are to name a few.
