When we prepare fruit and vegetables to eat, we often get rid of the peelings, treating them as waste. It turns out that this is a big mistake. We can use some of them in a very creative way and thus not waste anything. This is great news for those who focus on an ecological lifestyle.
What to do with peels? Don’t throw them away and make a seasoning
On her Instagram channel, user @plantyou shared a great idea for making a home-made spice from onion skins and garlic. It turns out that we can use all these vegetables and not waste a single piece. While cooking, put the peels in one place, and when we collect a larger amount, let’s start working.
At the very beginning, the shells should be soaked in water with vinegar to get rid of any impurities. Then place them on a towel and dry them thoroughly. Line a large baking tray with baking paper and spread the cleaned peels evenly on it. Preheat the oven to 60 degrees and dry for a few hours until crispy. Finally, put the shells into a blender, grind them into powder and pour them into an airtight container. Our spice is ready to use.
