Food Types |
Karfo Tip |
Fruit peels, rind,& scraps |
Limit any one fruit to 1 cup/cycle to avoid adding too much sugar. |
Veggie peels & scraps |
Limit any one root veg to 1 cup/cycle to avoid adding too much starch. Too much starch will clump and harden inside the Karfo. |
Chicken, beef, pork |
The end product from Standard mode will be of lower nutrient value when combined with this type of food waste. |
Seafood |
Do not include hard shells, this can damage the grinders (Shrimp is fine). |
Tea bags |
Only include tea bags that are certified compostable. Some tea bags include plastic mesh which will melt in the Karfo. |
Coffee |
Whole beans or ground + used or unused. |
Leftovers |
Drain extra sauces, oils and dairy as too much of this will result in clumpy greasy end product. |
Oats |
Too many cooked oats can result in a very gummy end product. |
Sauces |
Avoid emptying bottles from your fridge as the high sugar contents and dehydration can result in a burnt end product. Leftovers with sauce is fine! |
Baked goods |
Only add in limited quantities to avoid clumpy end product. |
Frozen food |
The end product from Standard mode will be of lower nutrient value when combined with this type of food waste. |
