Upcycling foods ranges from using food we think looks imperfect to making use of by-product we think of as waste. GETTY
Upcycled food, a growing environmentally conscious food trend, reminiscent of the age-old “waste not want not,” is catching on in Canada. Interested consumers can also adopt the concept at home. “Upcycled food is the easy way for anyone to prevent food waste with the products they buy, specifically at foods that contain otherwise wasted ingredients to make new, innovative, interesting, nutritious products,” says Turner Wyatt, CEO of the Upcycled Food Association. “…by creating an industry of products that contain other ways we [use] foods, we are giving consumers all over the world the ability to prevent food waste every time they walk into a grocery store.
Wyatt says that the concept of upcycled food is not just about reducing food waste, but also cutting back on the energy expenditures needed to make different products. Each piece of food takes resources — from watering and maintaining to harvesting and then transporting to stores. Using all parts of a food cuts back on the energy needed to then grow or produce an entire other similar product.
It should also, theoretically, cut back on the costs of certain foods, while also creating a new revenue stream for producers.
