All over the world we see initiatives to reduce this food waste. \u00a0Like our Dutch initiative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/en\/kromkommer-straight-top\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Kromkommer<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/en\/inglorious-fruits-vegetables-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Inglorious foods<\/a> in France. FoPo food powder is another ingenious solution created by students at Lund University in Sweden, who plan to freeze-dry fruit immediately before it expires. Food that otherwise would have been wasted can be used up to two weeks to two years later.<\/p>\n<h3>Freeze-dried almost expired fruit and vegetable waste<\/h3>\n<p>Freeze-drying isn\u2019t a new technology, even in restaurant kitchens it\u2019s used frequently to create powder.\u00a0 New is that FoPo aims to freeze solely products that would otherwise be discarded. The powder will be sold to consumers to be used in smoothies, soups etc. \u00a0Besides that they hope that the food powders will contribute to help feed the hungry, especially in the Philippines, where the operation will be based. FoPo is crowdfunded through Kickstarter with, amongst others, a contribution by Ben &amp; Jerry\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inspiration:<\/strong> Chefs who are working with freeze-drying could try to use their almost spoiled fruits or vegetables and come up with ways to use this food powder, all in order to reduce food waste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kent Ngo created FoPo Food Powder which saves almost expiring fruits and vegetables by drying &amp; powdering them.
