Food Waste Pickup #14 | Vegan Pizza “Cheese” and lots of other foods [2018.03.29]
Last weeks Friday pickup, happened on Thursday cos of the public holidays. Large amounts of food where rescued, we could fill four cars and all got distributed to three locations. There was lots of carrot juice, milk, tomato, pepper, kohlrabi, fennel, sweet potato, mixed dairy products, lots of bread and some vegan pizza “cheese”.
Rescuing food waste gives you the chance to try out food that you would normally never buy.
Take the vegan pizza “cheese” for example, I would never buy (before i tested), but it was a great surprise how close to the real thing it actually looks and tastes, and it melts just like cheese in oven.
I let few people taste it and everyone thought they ate real cheese. Its made of 21% coconut oil, potato starch, corn starch, sea salt and vegan seasoning. I may try to make a pizza or hot sandwich one day.
Photos of the food are taken at Bike Kitchen Gamlestan (Cykelköket Gamlestan).
The aim of this post here on Steemit is to document the amount of food waste we can reduce by simply collaborating around a very basic concept, and hopefully inspire others to do the same. Just Eat It!
The Solidarity Fridge (Solikyl) is an open and collaborative project aimed at reducing food waste. Find out more in the post What is Solikyl (Solidarity Fridge)?.
Past Food Waste Pickups
Holy crap....I feel like I need to join some group here in Stockholm (so much fun to find another Swede btw).
I actually get a little mute seeing this. It's insane!! If people saw this and realized how much food is being thrown away people would get out of work and protest for days.
It can be very easy to inform the public and to let them taste the food waste.

Wow that is so smart =) I'll definetly go and check it our right now =)
Great work! :)
Yes, it was lots of woork to rescue so much food. The amount you see in these photos is about 1/3 of all the food we saved that day.
Wow! Then it is great work x3! ;)
This is crazy, I cant believe that all this food was being thrown out! Fucking mental, we have become the hyper consumers that large companies want us to be. We typically dont throw anything out unless its gone really bad. I must have a look and see if anything like this is available in Ireland. I know that a lot of the supermarkets here donate unsold goods to local food drives but I think you have to be on assistance payments to get on the list.
Great post and I really like the ideal you are promoting! Great work. You have a new follower.
PS that cheese looks very similar to Violife, it is just fantastic on pizzas.
Yes, many donate unsold food to the "people in need", like only few humans need to eat.
Everyone have to eat the food waste before it gets bad.
