I love this! Always the what the heck am I going to use this for…
hahaha… leftover beer, that’s a good one.
Yeah, yeah.
Most of the sweet carroty gnodoess has been sucked right out of that pulp. I guess you can bake with it, but it won’t taste nearly as good as pulp that hasn’t been juiced.When I worked at the natural food store, we had a juice bar. People would come in and ask for the pulp, though, because they would use it in their compost piles or feed it to horses or guinea pigs, though. We’d give it to them for free. If you have land or livestock (or friends with land or animals), this might be worth considering. Even if you don’t, it might be worth composting it, even if you just put the soil around a city tree. The tree will love it, and it’s better than throwing it away.Another wacky thing to do with it could be to make handmade paper.If you do end up wanting to cook with it, though, here are some ideas:Mother Earth news has a page on Carrot Pulp Cookery.This site suggests using it as a thickener in soups and stews.You can also, apparently, use it as a dessert topping.This is a recipe for carrot pulp macaroons.And, of course, there’s the obligatory carrot pulp cake.
It’s true, it won’t taste as good, but it gives enough flavor for it to be worth it. I like the compost/making paper ideas, though.
This is a fantastic idea for a blog! I love it.
Love this page! I’ve been better recently about using up ingredients, but I just dumped a third of a container of buttermilk the other week because I didn’t know what to do with it.
I can’t believe how much buttermilk I wasted before I realized I could freeze it. Even if you don’t have a full cup, you can freeze what you have and let it accumulate. It’s also great for waffles and pancakes.
This is great but do people really ever have “leftover beer”. Not in our house! LOL
To be honest, I’m kind of picky about my beer, so we do sometimes have leftover stuff from parties or barbecues. It’s rare, but it does happen.
