What to do with food waste?

Más Información

According to a 2016 study by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) , almost a quarter of the total food production in the world is thrown away. Food waste is such that we could use it to feed over 2 billion of people. In Mexico , this number increases to an alarming 37% a year.

So stop throwing away the following foods, because there's at least a way you can reuse them.

Tortilla

If you have a couple of leftover tortillas , you can always make some chips out of them. Cut them into a triangular shape and place them in a tray. Roast them in the oven for 8 minutes at 200°C and add some salt.
