As part of HuffPosts Reclaim project, HuffPost Taste will focus the entire month of July on simple ways you can reduce food waste in your own home.

On our journey to stop wasting so much damn food, weve learned that just about every kitchen scrap that comes across our countertops can be turned into something else . Potato peels can be baked into chips . Parmesan rinds can be broiled and eaten . Pickle juice can be mixed into a great cocktail .

We understand that not everyone has the time to repurpose all their scraps, but if you do nothing else at least turn them into stock.
