Poll: Do you have an oversupply of citrus?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

When Jasmin Sampson wandered down to her local community house in Hillcrest with a bag of fruit, she had no idea it would snowball into a harvest measured by the hundreds of kilos.

After spotting Go Eco’s food rescue ad for homeowners with excess produce, she signed up — and before long volunteers were in her backyard hauling out crates of grapefruit, lemons, oranges and mandarins. All up? More than 240kg of citrus.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
