Rethinking Food Waste. Upcycling Imperfect Fruits, Vegetables and Otherwise Edible Scraps into Wholesome and Sustainable Snacks with Bruized’s Monique Chan.
Monique Chan from Bruized takes scraps destined for the compost bin and creates delicious treats. In this episode, we learn how time spent in restaurant prep kitchens led Monique to look at food waste differently. And explore the economic and environmental costs of what gets thrown away. We discover how she sources imperfect ingredients that would otherwise be discarded from local groceries and farmer's market vendors. And upcycles these and to healthy plant-based snacks. We chat about how she feels about food insecurity and the need for systematic change. What shifts do we need to take to deal with waste, how she plans to grow her business with local hubs over distribution. And how she's hopeful that others will join in to find innovative ways to make our food systems more sustainable.
If you want to learn more about Monique and how she's embracing imperfect to make feel-good food for the planet and the people around us or order some of her delicious pulp crunch visit bruized.com.
