I really try to avoid food waste! I literally see red when people throw away perfectly good groceries. Even when vegetables start to look a bit sad they’re perfectly fine to use. You can do so many thing out of veggies that are starting to get old. For example a delicious pesto.
I had some broccoli and parsley that were starting to turn yellow and sad. So I thought I turn it into a broccoli, parsley and almond pesto. And it turned out so good.
I did not cook the broccoli before putting it in the blender, since I wanted to keep the crunch. But if you prefer it more moist then just cook the broccoli for a few minutes before adding it to the blender.
