[ENGLISH]

Today’s recipe is banana peel meat, a vegan recipe, and in addition, it contributes to not waste!

Hunger and food waste are two of the biggest problems that Brazil faces, constituting one of the paradoxes of our country. We produce 140 million tons of food a year, we are one of the largest exporters of agricultural products in the world and, at the same time, we have millions of excluded people, without access to food in quantity and / or quality.

As the population needs a healthy diet, rich in nutrients, this can be achieved with those parts of food that are normally neglected, wasted. Therefore, it is important to use peels, stems and leaves, as the full use of food, in addition to reducing food expenses and improving the nutritional quality of the menu, reduces food waste. With the use of these parts it is also possible to create new recipes, such as, for example, juices, sweets, jams, flours, and as we will see below, of banana peel meat.

Who shared this recipe was the friend of a student participating in the project, called Ana Carolina Alves. Follow the step by step of this unique recipe, make it at  your home and contribute to a more conscious consumption, without food waste.
