Hey all,

Been wanting to reduce the amount of waste I generate, and one small way I was thinking of doing so was perhaps by reheating the unpopped popcorn kernels that appear in the bottom of my bowl after making a batch with my air popper.

Would this be safe to do, or is it recommended against? I’d love to reuse them if possible and ensure I have no unneeded waste there, but I also want to make sure I’m not making myself sick by eating something I shouldn’t be.

Thanks in advance!

    There is still waste involved into putting edible food in the compost. Growing, packaging, and transporting food all consume resources that go to waste if the food is not eaten.

    Are unpopped popcorn kernels a significant source of uneaten food? Debatable.

      Here’s a trick I like.

      Get a liter sized container. Any time you chop veggies put the unused bits in the container and freeze it. When it’s full use that to make soup stock.

        Yep, then the solids get strained out and composted, or if you have chickens they love it.
