Believe it or not, the food wastes that you may think are actually treasures.
Here is a shocking fact: about one-third of the foods are wasted globally. However, some food wastes are actually hidden treasures. For example, food wastes can be a valuable and sustainable resource for the raw materials to make glass. In addition, the skins of many foods have amazing health benefits. Unfortunately, we throw them away without awareness.
Here is another shocking fact: a recent report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that the worldwide direct economic cost of food waste is more than $750 billion. Unbelievable, isn’t it? With this huge amount of money, we can build anything out of our imagination. If each of us can be more conscious about the food wastes and use them wisely, not only should we reduce the cost for processing food waste, but also benefit our health from different parts of the food. Here are a few examples.
- Do you know that corn silk is a magical remedy to treat high blood pressure, jaundice and much more?
- What about the orange skins? They are excellent to treat indigestion and bronchitis.
- If you eat the sweet potato with skins on it, you will not suffer from the heartburn, because the skin of the sweet potato aids digestion.
What about banana skins and turnip skins? They have amazing health benefits that can blow you away. I think foods are the blessings from Mother Nature, we should make the most out of it and don't take it for granted.
