In India every part of the vegetables are cooked as food. On example is the radish. The radish vegetables are used in curry. The leaves of radish are used as a spinach or saag and cooked. Radish is also eaten as salad. The other example is jackfruit. While the vegetable is cooked with potatoes as curry. The seeds of the vegetable are fried and also eaten with rice.

We have quite a few examples where every part is eaten. We use banana flowes, stem and raw banana for curry. The raw banana peel makes a nutritious yummy chutney. Same is with ridge gourd and bottle gourd peel. I make some spicy chutney with them.

@RebeccasFarm Yes, we make chutney ( dip kind) with it. It's very delicious and nutritious too. We boil the peel and then saute it in oil with garlic, green chillies,other herbs and spices. Then we grind it. One can squeeze lemon at end or add some tamarind pulp.

@sathviksouvik - We add the peels of potatoes to the compost in the garden. It's full of pesticides, we have been warned not to eat the peel of vegetables that grow underground.

I put the leafy part of beets in my egg muffins or “green” shake. Once I heard about their nutrients, I thought, why not? I appreciate people who waste nothing.
