What is up everyone? Welcome back to the Imperfect Week here on the Epic

Gardening podcast. Riley Brock is back. He's from Imperfect Foods and

Imperfect Foods is a grocery delivery service that is focused on

building a better food system. Yesterday we talked about some ways that you can waste less food at home and actually

in a way we missed one and that would be this episode and this would be ways to use more of the stuff that you're getting whether it be from your garden or from any variety of sources in perfect grocery store,

farmers market, whatever. You know, we've talked a bunch of different times actually about different ways

you can use things, like for example example when you're harvesting beets the

beat greens weirdly enough have become my favorite green over things like

chart or kale surprisingly and I actually don't like beats as much as I like the beat greens.

So just one thing from me, but Riley, I'm curious, you know, over it and perfect, what are some of those

tips that you guys like to tell people?

Yeah, so we love to talk about what was called root to leaf cooking, right?

So utilizing everything that you're buying, you know, you would never buy a pair of socks and

then get home and throw away one of them, but that's sadly how we treat a lot of vegetables right that's how we

treat fennel that's how we treat leaks I mean not we as in everybody but a lot of us and

I've been guilty of this in the past get these awesome airloom organic

vegetables home and end up chucking about half of it into the bin right awesome, organic vegetables, home,

and I end up chucking about half of it into the bin, right?

So you alluded to actually one of my favorite tips,

which is, you know, beet greens,

literally botanically, they're basically charred, right?

They're cousins.
