2. Overripe fruit: Overripe fruit can be used to make smoothies, fruit sauces, jams, and baked goods such as muffins or cakes.
3. Vegetable scraps: Vegetable scraps such as onion skins, carrot peels, and celery ends can be used to make homemade vegetable broth.
4. Leftover cooked grains: Leftover cooked grains such as rice or quinoa can be used to make fried rice, grain bowls, or added to soups and stews.
