Blossom-Project on Mondays a community plant-based dinner
🌱🌸 The Blossom-Project days! Every second Monday of the month, Grandma Sita together with volunteers, cooked up a delicious plant-based menu for the women at Kontaktcentret Vesterbro in Copenhagen, Denmark. The plant-based menu consists of a soup or stew and a vegan cake, designed by Grandma Sita depending on what is in the season. Mondays aren’t that bad after all!
🥦🍎 Fruit, veggies, and bread were provided by Too Good To Go‘s Surprise Packs, the #1 anti-food waste mobile application. At every community dinner, Grandma Sita inspires action by utilizing as much food rescue as possible to minimize food waste in Denmark. Think global, act local!
➡️ Blossom-Project is a non-profit that works to create respect, dignity, visibility, and inclusion for vulnerable women through empowerment. More about it at blossom-project.org
📊Did you know that 33% of all food produced globally is lost or wasted yearly? And just a quarter of the food wasted globally could be used to feed the 795 million undernourished people in the world. But food waste is not only a moral issue, it’s a key contributor to climate change too. Wasting food is a waste of energy to grow, harvest, process, and cook, and food waste in landfills can cause methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas.
👵💚Grandma Sita’s tips:
*You can keep your food waste to a minimum with a few simple changes, from storing food correctly to using up your leftovers, using every edible part of fruits and veggies, and planning meals.
*Only buy the amount of fresh fruit and vegetables you need to use. Most of them can be frozen as single ingredients.
*Peelings from potatoes and citrus, fruit and vegetable cores, and stems can be used for compost.
♻️ Grandma Sita is raising awareness about food waste prevention by sharing practical, creative, and impactful ways to make everyday plant-based meals tasty, affordable, and healthy for everyone. The more you know, the easier it is to create a nutritious plant-based meal from very little!
