Simple Zero-Waste Grapes Article

Grapes are perfect for a zero-waste kitchen. You can marinate them, ferment them into ribbons for garnishes, or dry them for healthy snacks. Use brined or chipped grapes to add creative textures to your dishes. Even leftover pulp can become foam, sauces, syrup, or jelly. Grated grapes and cubes provide additional ways to use any excess or imperfect fruit, ensuring nothing gets discarded. By exploring these forms—marinated, fermented, brined, chipped, dried, foamed, sauced, jellied, or turned into syrup—you make sure every part of the grape is enjoyed and waste is minimized in your kitchen
