Read the full story at Tasting Table.

What tastes just as good as gourmet ice cream? Reducing food waste. Okay, well, maybe not, but when you are digging into some of Salt & Straw’s newest flavors, you can enjoy the deliciousness all the more knowing that you’re helping fight food waste in the U.S., which is linked to major greenhouse gas emissions. According to a press release sent to Tasting Table, the ice cream maker has partnered with several organizations that upcycle edible but unwanted food that would’ve otherwise been destined for landfills. To boot, the new offerings and the process associated with making them have already been designated Upcycle Certified by the Upcycled Food Association. The brand’s hope is that it will breathe new life into oft-wasted ingredients and create memorable new flavor experiences.
