How much of the green onion I use depends on what I am making- 3 bean
salad only gets the bulb and a bit up from there, but scallion
pancakes go way, way up.

I only cut off the bottom of the broccoli "trees," but if in a whole,
fresh broccoli bouquet, I do cut off the thickest lower part of the
main stem.

The only beets around here come in a jar and are pickled. If I pickle
them myself, I now buy whole, cooked and peeled beets from Costco.

There seem to be several articles the past couple of weeks talking
about using the usual discards from fruits and veggies. One article
talked about using the banana peels. I confess I did not read past
that headline. Nope. Not me.
