While this sounds terrible, I’ve started using the beet greens as well as the beets. Why throw them away; it’s a vegetable! And coffee grounds and banana peels and things of that nature are great for various plants in the garden. Along with salmon skin, bones...
In with the first, “Soylent Green is peoplllllllllllle!”
If they can make use of this stuff, that’s great.
Salmon skin, toasted is a wonderful delicacy!
In Sushi bars it’s usually served as a seaweed
handroll with a small amount of rice and some greens.
Your fish bones (if you have enough of them) can be
rendered into a good stock. That stockpot is also
a good destination for those green tops from the beets,
as well as the butt portion of onions, celery, cabbage etc.
Garbage in-Garbage out comes to mind.

Not a bad idea. Kind of like in the days when a lot people made use of pretty much every scrap of whatever food items they had.
NEw? McD traces its history all the way back to 1940
Be careful with the beet greens. I read they’re not that great for some people.
And not get sick. Sometimes dumpster divers get sick.
Nothing new here...Marmite is made from beer sludge.
in the past, we fed the left overs to animals...dogs, chickwns, pigs.
and using bruised fruit for jam etc is common. Cut off the bad spots and they are fine.
This beer tastes like pith!

It is the modern “Indulgences”.
It is liberals applying ethics/morality to food akin to Judaism’s Kosher but without the coherent set of rules as to what is considered right.
I’ll wait until cinco de mayo
I save all kinds of peelings and what not for my veg broth. Definitely!
When I was little I read all the All of a Kind Family kids stories about a poor Jewish family growing up in 1900 Brooklyn. And I remember for a penny the fishmonger downstairs would
Give them pieces of the salmon skin to suck on as he smoked
His fish! How they loved to sit on the stoop and suck that skin!
Is it the oxylates? I am not up on it but I know beets have it.
What’s wrong with unused “waste based” products going to a Landfill?
As the materials rot they give off Methane Gas which can be Piped out and used to produce Energy.
The result, less drilling and Fracking, just what Liberals say they want.
Win, win, win...
