Today is National Upcycling Day.  I never thought of celebrating an upcycling day with food.

Upcycled foods come in many forms, but all of them involve ingredients that would otherwise have gone unharvested, or to a landfill or compost. That might be food that’s considered inedible (like avocado pits), produce that’s overripe or cosmetically imperfect, or byproducts of food manufacturing, like spent grain from a brewery. Companies that make upcycled products take those overlooked ingredients and transform them into something tasty.



Last spring, we held an Upcycling Food Challenge in collaboration with UFA to encourage food innovators to pitch and develop new products. With a panel of judges, we chose three winners from 114 applicants: Atoria’s mini naan made with upcycled grains, Petit Pot rice pudding using broken rice kernels, and Chomps upcycled meat stick snacks.

The US has tons of leftover food. Upcycling turns would-be trash into ice cream and pizza
One cook’s trash is another chef’s ice cream
