Tasty tender stems are a rare veg for us to glean. Due to the warm autumn weather these have mostly been harvested or gone over. If we look closely we will find some amongst the beautiful yellow flowers. These tenderstems or broccolini are packed with Vitamin C Potassium Iron Calcium and can be eaten raw or cooked. So delicious and nutritious #broccolini #autumn #nutritiousanddelicious #surplusfood

It started with an idea of saving good food and produce from going to waste. This week we are celebrating £1 MILLION worth of produce saved🥬😊🍏We couldn’t be more happy. This achievement is the culmination of years of building trusted partnerships with our local farming community and producers. It’s endless dedication from our volunteer teams. To everyone who has given their time, their surplus, their support- we THANK YOU. This is what a community can achieve when we work together 🥬🥂🙏🏼⭐️

More fab facts from team Gleaning Cornwall. Preventing and reducing food waste not only lowers methane emissions; it also cuts down on the use of resources-land, water and energy-that are required for food production. Since 2021 we have saved 1102.32 tonnes of C02e. We provide a circular economy, regenerative, keeping products and reusing them by sharing with our community. Simple and effective. If you are curious about what we do and how you can support us then head over to our website 🔗in biog. Or www.gleaningcornwall.org.uk#regenerativefarming #circulareconomy♻️ #gleaning

Thanks to @tropicalpressure for inviting us to their movements area, giving us a platform to engage with some vibrant festival goers and chat all things gleaning. Our team attempted to keep cool under the gazebo whilst initiating rounds of cabbage n spoon races…. Tiny cabbages all being harvested from the previous week’s gleanings. Much fun was had by all; and a result of conversations we have met a new producer and received 70kg of surplus new potatoes which have been distributed over a 30miles radius along with courgette, cauli and broccoli. Go team Glean!

Tenderstem is a hybrid of broccoli and Chinese kale. It has long green stems and small florets. Its a nutritional powerhouse, packed full of vitamins and fibre. This week we were able to salvage some from Cornish fields that was going to flower in the heat. Thanks @riviera.produce #veg #nutrition #vitaminsandminerals #gleaning #cornwall
