Composting
Can I compost olive pits, pistachio nut shells, and corn cobs after they’ve been boiled?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians 7yr The short answer is yes. But all 3 take longer to compost so for the shells and pits, just know that they will take longer to break down so you may need to filter them out if you’re composting at home. Cobbs can also go in the compost pile but to speed up breakdown, you can chop them in smaller pieces or even shred them. Hope that helps!! -
mmorawski 7yr For the cobs, even after they’re boiled or steamed? I’ve heard that once vegetables are cooked, you shouldn’t compost them. Just wondering…

annefood 7yr @mmorawski it’s fine to compost cooked veggies as long as they’re only steamed or boiled- so no fat or sauces. -
mmorawski 7yr Thank you!
