What is Upcycling?
In basic terms? Using what you have. Upcycling is the process of repurposing waste to create something new.
In our case, we aim to eliminate food waste by using juice pulp, a byproduct which is typically thrown away. In order to make our granola, we upcycle apple juice pulp collected from cider and juice pressers in England.
BWL etc.: Old Place Farm Walnuts
Our Borough Market neighbours Food and Forest sell a beautiful Walnut Oil from a local East Sussex farm, Old Place Farm Walnuts. It occurred to me that no one ever talks about what happens to the leftovers when pressing nuts and seeds for oils. But one thing is for certain, the entirety of the ingredient does not end up in the oil. So where does it go?
