It’s amazing how many kilos of food waste we produce every year! What if we reversed the curve by recycling as much as possible and using fruits and vegetables, for example, in their entirety? Long live the zero-waste !
Julie from the grocery store at Gramme Près has understood this very well and she gives us a lot of tips that you can note while listening to the show again.
Already, the containers! No disposable bags, but shopping nets like our grandmothers or cotton pouches that can be washed.
I dehydrate my peelings and make broths – Pascale de Pouillenay
The good idea is that of Pascale de Pouillenay. She keeps all her vegetable peelings, freezes them and when she has a good quantity, she passes them through her dehydrating machine, which will allow her to make powders full of flavors to make good broths all year round.
In Julie’s grocery store, you can find plenty of local and seasonal products such as cream and white cheese from Mathias Colson at the Labergement farm in Moloy.
The good news is that the small grocery store on Avenue du Drapeau is expanding and will be waiting for you very soon at La Fourmilière, a third place dedicated to responsible food, zero-waste and for sustainable consumption, rue du Général Fauconnet with a canteen café and a resource centre. A place that will also regularly offer workshops.
