Waste-Reducing Culinary Starters

Solving global warming takes more than just trees

Spare Starter is a solution for foodservice professionals that has the potential to kick-start the process of creating everything from sauces to savory toppings. This culinary add-in is prepared with surplus farm produce and in all, six vegetables and a proprietary spice blend go into making this product, which helps to repurpose nutritious offcuts like leaves and stems. This time-saving, waste-reducing starter helps to get more use out of whole vegetables, all the while conserving water and helping kitchens shrink their carbon footprint.

"Our aim isn’t merely to add another product to the market; it’s to introduce a groundbreaking solution environmentally and economically," says The Spare Food Co. co-founder Adam Kaye, "Spare Starter optimizes kitchen operations by reducing labor and time, and promotes a plant-forward diet, all while measurably reducing food waste.”
