𝑮𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒅-𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 ...⠀ ⠀ ... have you carved your pumpkin yet?⠀ ⠀ A sad but true fact is that the majority of Pumpkins grown in the UK and the US end up in landfill right after Halloween • This year in the UK alone it is estimated that 18,000 tonnes of edible squash will be heading straight for the bin and that 95% are bought for the sole purpose of decoration!⠀ ⠀ But first and foremost Pumpkins are a food • They can be roasted and used as a delicious alternative to meat in curries (Pumpkin Katsu anyone), you can use the flesh in decadent sweet treats such as Pumpkin Pie and even toast the seeds to create nutritious snacks!⠀ ⠀ Yes Pumpkins play a minor role in the saga that is holiday waste - but using these lovable gourds to their full potential is a small step in the right direction and small steps can lead to large impact.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #myselflovestyle #reallifeandstyle #discoverunder5k #everydayethical ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/B4SsTAvBA7h/?igshid=3972diotguvu
