NATURAL DYEING GUIDE from food waste: avocado peels and pits

🥑♻️ Did you know that dye with avocado peels/pits gets beautiful pink shades in textile fabric?  Grandma Sita puts together the step-by-step natural dyeing guide with food waste for you to try.  You will need 6/8 units of avocado peels/pits to get beautiful pink tones on unwanted fabric like an old t-shirt, white or light coloured works best. More details are below.

👵💚Grandma Sita’s Tip:
*The best way to collect food scraps is to freeze them, and then defrost them once you have the amount needed to dye.

➡️ Natural dyes, made from food scraps like avocado peels/pits that would otherwise go composted or unused, suddenly inspire creative opportunities that reduce food waste.

📢 Up to 30 per cent of avocado fruit is wasted due to damage caused by testing during grading, with a further five per cent loss at retail. According to some studies, avocados are among the 3 crops causing more water stress in their region of production. UNESCO’s research shows a global average water footprint of 1981 m3/ton.
