I’ve been composting all of those peelings. But this is a great idea!

Yep, that’s what I try to do to, although lately they’ve been going in my compost pile, which I’m trying to build up. I have a hard time parting with my organic veggies to make stock, when I’m only going to throw the veggies away in the end, you know?

Hi. What a great website! When it comes to vegetable peelings, we really put them to use. We boil them for stock, and then we put those peelings onto the compost pile. They make a round trip from the garden to kitchen and back to the garden.

We french people always eat leeks tops (the green part?) it is the best part of the vegetables vitamins…When I told you how I used 1kg leeks for two suppers on your blog I realised later that you might not eat the green part!!!
We also use celery leaves in soups or to give taste to vegetables! But we do not eat oignon skins and I would not keep carrots peelings: they have earth on them!

If you place them in the freezer, they will last a long time.

Great tip! I will have to start saving my peelings! How long will they last before I need to use them?

I do the same thing with left over veggies. You know when you have a spoonful of corn or green beans left over. I have a freezer bag and just add to it. Then when I go to make stew or veggie soup I pull out my bag.
