Oil and electricity both increased, hospitals teach people to save money, use vegetables sparingly and avoid kitchen waste

The increase in oil and electricity prices has led to an increase in the prices of various daily necessities. Many families are facing shrinking wallets and are crying out that they can’t afford it. However, “food is the first necessity of the people” and people always have to eat to maintain normal functioning of the body. Therefore, Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital launched the "Zero Kitchen Waste" campaign today, the 18th. Nutritionists demonstrated how to use leftover vegetables and fruits to make nutritious dishes, so that people don’t have to worry about the health hazards of clenbuterol and can also play a role in saving money.

The thrifty dishes demonstrated on site include croquettes, pickled vegetable hearts and jelly. Yan Huijing, a nutritionist at Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital, pointed out that the dregs left after the beans are made into soy milk still retain the same nutritional components and are rich in fiber. The croquettes made with these dregs are very delicious after seasoning. Most housewives throw away the cauliflower heart when cooking it, but it can actually be pickled and made into a side dish, which is just as refreshing and delicious. In addition, some fruits such as pineapples, grapes, and oranges do not look good, and even if they are very fresh, they are often sold at low prices in the market. At this time, you might as well process them into jelly, which has a great natural taste.
