Upcycled food

Upcycled food refers to ingredients or products that are made using surplus food or food by-products that would otherwise go to waste. This practice involves creatively using parts of fruits, vegetables, or other food items that might be discarded due to cosmetic imperfections, overproduction, or expiration. By transforming these ingredients into new food items—like snacks, beverages, or meal components—upcycling reduces food waste and promotes sustainability. Ultimately, it helps minimize environmental impact while also providing nutritious options for consumers.
