Don’t throw that out – eat it! Good food going to waste...

Don’t just eat the orange – eat the peel! 

Most of us toss some really healthy stuff right into the garbage. Melissa Williams of Healthy Living has a list of good garbage we should be eating:

• Orange peels: They’re packed with more nutrients that the fruit itself. Orange zest is excellent in smoothies, salads, vegetable dishes and even deserts.

• Broccoli leaves and stems: Instead of throwing them out, cook them alongside the florets. This will increase the amount of vitamin A in your meal.

• Celery tops: Those leaves are packed with magnesium and calcium. Chop them up and save some for your next soup or stew.

• Onion skins: They’re full of antioxidants. Simmer them in sauces and side dishes and remove before serving.
