And His Mom Loves The Versatility And Healthy Veggies The Whole Head Is Giving To Her Little Guy”. Luckily” there is a plethora of initiatives battling this issue right here in our country Out of all the fads that come and go with the food industry¨ waste reduction is by far one of the most beneficial ones. The conflict against waste comes in many forms¨ from recycling to nose-to-tail utilization. But in the vegetable world¨ it’s called root-to-stem The reference is ambiguous since you can’t eat every root and there’s more to the plant above the ground than just the stem (ahem¨ the flower) but that’s not the point The idea is to eat as much of the plant as possible. For most plants¨ if not all¨ every part of the plant is not only edible but nutritious. Cali’flour Foods has embraced this concept¨ utilizing the entire head of cauliflower in every crust This means stems¨ leaves¨ and the flower itself Every nutritious morsel is included¨ to give the product a unique and delicious taste. This not only expands the nutritional profile¨ but it reduces the waste to next-to-nothing.
