Edible Surplus food transformation can take many forms, from snacks and baked goods to condiments and beverages.
*Edible surplus is the term we use for food and ingredients that are suitable and safe for human consumption but would otherwise be wasted. This expands the definition beyond simply ugly fruits and vegetables and includes everything from Grade 1 to an expanded definition of "processing grade". Additionally, we have redefined what are considered "usable ingredients" and are achieving in excess of 90% - 95% in processing and manufacturing by using parts of plants and vegetables that would typically be trimmed and discarded.
