Juicing? [View all]
A friend has been juicing for about a year. She has been giving her veggie waste from after they are juiced to other friends for their compost piles, but the others are now full and she asked me if I wanted some for my compost. I said bring it over. She brought a week's worth in a 5 gallon bucket so heavy that the two of us had trouble lugging it to the backyard.
Am I the only one who thinks that this is the biggest waste of food short of just throwing it away without eating it? So here I sit, thinking that there has to be something that can be done with the "waste" from juicing to use it for food. Can it be used in soups? Casseroles? I am just shocked at the amount of food that is being tossed out, although my compost will appreciate it. I realize that it would have to be used sooner than when I got it----it smelled so bad that I was close to hurling, so a week of accumulation isn't going to cut it. But could it be frozen for use?
Does anyone juice? Do you throw the used veggie material out? Any ways of using it or is it of no value after the juicing process?
