We buy whole crops from farmers to increase their ingredient yield and revenue streams, and use every last bit from rib to skin, and root to stem. That’s where the real nutrition is. Spare Starter® is an endlessly versatile, value-add shortcut whose 6 ingredient, 2 gallon tubs save labor, food and water, scraps from the bin, and carbon from the environment. It is a remarkably easy way to do delicious plant-forward menus – without giving anything up.
