often, there are leftover portions or produce starts to ripen or wilt before i can cook them. trying to save them from the trash bin, i started chopping them up and freezing them. vegetables, especially celery & carrots, can be saved for soup stocks or even flavoring basis as mirepoix, and sliced fruit is perfect for smoothies.
