Designed for everyday cooks, students, families, and anyone trying to eat better without spending more, it speaks to people who sense they are throwing away nutrition along with peels and stems but feel unsure what is safe or worthwhile. It is especially useful for budget-conscious households, urban kitchens with limited time, and readers curious about traditional food wisdom without wanting extreme rules. By clearly separating what can be eaten directly, what needs processing, and what should be discarded, it saves effort, protects digestion, and builds confidence. Readers gain practical ways to stretch food, reduce waste, support gut health, and make choices rather than following trends or guilt.
