Do You Carrot All About Food Waste?
So Do We.
Help Leket Israel rescue 1,000 tons of carrots and beets before it's too late!
Leket Israel has received an extraordinary donation of carrots and beets from packing houses in the Gilboa region of Northern Israel and Kibbutz Alumim in Southern Israel. These vegetables are just as nutritious and delicious as those sold in supermarkets. They were simply rejected because they did not meet the cosmetic standards for size or appearance.
Project Cost: NIS 320,000 ($110,000)
Impact: Fresh, nutritious food for 22,000 families in need throughout Israel.
Donation of $180 helps provide rescued produce to 36 families in need.
Join our largest food rescue effort of the summer. Together, we can ensure that quality food nourishes people, not landfills.
How do we rescue 1,000 tons of fresh produce?
- Vacuum-pack fresh beets - Cook and vacuum-seal a portion of the beets, extending their shelf life and making them easy to store and enjoy.
- Prepare soups and salads - Using advanced sterilization technology, transform rescued vegetables into ready-to-eat soups and salads that do not require refrigeration.
