En Espa\u00f1a se tiraron a la basura m\u00e1s de 23 millones de kilogramos o litros de comida y bebida por semana en 2022<\/strong>, seg\u00fan datos oficiales. Por m\u00e1s alarmante que parezca este dato, en realidad representa una reducci\u00f3n de un 6,2 % con respecto al a\u00f1o anterior<\/strong>, con lo cual es de esperar que nos estemos convirtiendo en consumidores cada vez m\u00e1s concienciados y responsables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aun as\u00ed, al abrir la nevera despu\u00e9s de un largo d\u00eda de trabajo, puede resultar complicado inventarse formas creativas de aprovechar alimentos que ya est\u00e1n al l\u00edmite de su caducidad en lugar de tirarlos a la basura. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desde Ibiza Produce<\/strong>, un proyecto de la fundaci\u00f3n IbizaPreservation<\/strong> que promueve el producto KM0 y la cocina residuo cero, nos empe\u00f1amos en poner en valor estos restos de comida y toda la cadena de producci\u00f3n implicada en llevar estos alimentos de la granja a nuestra mesa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomemos el ejemplo de la sand\u00eda.<\/strong> En Ibiza tenemos la suerte de contar con una de las variedades de sand\u00eda m\u00e1s apreciadas por su dulzor y su textura crujiente, Pero, \u00bfqu\u00e9 hacer con los restos de esta fruta cuando se haya disfrutado de su jugosa carne roja? Pues hay muchas opciones. \u00bfSab\u00edas que se pueden crear dulces, granizado, refrescos, kimchi, o incluso carne vegana a partir de la sand\u00eda? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La soluci\u00f3n al desperdicio de alimentos<\/strong> est\u00e1 dentro de nosotros. Solo tenemos que descubrir el secreto alqu\u00edmico capaz de transformar nuestros residuos alimentarios en oro. Y para ayudarnos, a continuaci\u00f3n, Erika Tangari, chef y creadora del Sol Method, nos demuestra c\u00f3mo hacerlo con sus sabrosas recetas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Spain, more than 23 million kilograms or liters of food and drink were thrown away per week in 2022<\/strong>, according to official data. As alarming as this figure may seem, it actually represents a reduction of 6.2% compared to the previous year, so hopefully we are becoming increasingly aware and responsible consumers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, when opening the fridge after a long day at work, it can be difficult to come up with creative ways to use food that is past its expiry date instead of throwing it away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Ibiza Produce<\/strong>, a project of the IbizaPreservation foundation<\/strong> that promotes the KM0 product and zero waste cuisine, we strive to value these food leftovers and the entire production chain involved in bringing these foods from the farm to our table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s take the example of watermelon<\/strong>. In Ibiza we are fortunate to have one of the most appreciated varieties of watermelon for its sweetness and crunchy texture, but what to do with the remains of this fruit when you have enjoyed its juicy red flesh? Did you know that you can create sweets, slush, soft drinks, kimchi, or even vegan meat from watermelon? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution to food waste<\/strong> lies within us. We just have to discover the alchemical secret capable of transforming our food waste into gold. And to help us, here’s Erika Tangari, chef and creator of the Sol Method, shows us how to do it with her tasty recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
