1. Broccoli Leaves
A California company sells them as BroccoLeaf. Enjoy them free with your broccoli. Next time, try BroccoLeaf's recipes like frittata, soup, or baked leaves.

2. The Avocado Pit
Discover we toss the healthiest part: the pit holds 70% of the antioxidants and is fiber-rich. See what you can make from an avocado pit.

3. Watermelon Seeds
