Waste-free production
It is currently unknown what 2022 will be like, but new trends have already been created in cooking. One of them is by-products, or zero-waste production (reusing various waste products to create new dishes). Every day, chefs invent new uses for potato skins, fish heads or fruit scraps.
Let’s just mention energy bars made from grains used in the production of beer, or juice from cashew apples. All these products help reduce the amount of food waste, which currently amounts to more than a billion tons annually. Not surprised – this is already a well-known trend, you say! Yes, the secondary use of food is not new, but with the development of technology, there will definitely be more interesting positions in this field.
