Most don't know how to use leftovers from vegetables and fruits or apply them in a recipe.
Some find it hard to find recipes to treat leftover food, vegetables, or fruit.
Most use YouTube to find recipes.
Many have problems when they want to revisit the recipe they found before.
(This is due to accessing recipes from different places and not saving them afterward.)
Meal planners complain that it is tedious and time-consuming.
Most don't make shopping lists and make impromptu decisions about what to buy.
Some do not plan meals, even if they make a shopping list.

He used watermelon rind. Wow!
Most of the vegetables went to waste until I made the salad again.
According to the report of the United Nations Environment Program; A total of 931 million tons of food is wasted every year around the world. Of this, 61 percent, or about 570 million tons, takes place at home. Although food waste has become a global problem, many people do their shopping impromptu without planning and throw most of what they buy into the trash without using it, causing waste. Even though people are aware of this waste, they find it difficult to take simple steps to reduce the waste of plant foods they buy into their homes.
1.3 billion tons
of food is wasted or lost globally per year
How to reduce herbal food waste at home?
Hypothesis
A tool that organizes the process of purchasing and using plant foods will enable people to control their consumption, reduce waste, and spend their money more efficiently (reduce their expenses).

Research
Survey
First of all, I surveyed 67 people who are retired, working, and students between the ages of 19-69. Of these, 48% are working, 18% are unemployed, 21% are students, and 14% are retired.
Today, the shoppers are impromptu the quantity, even when deciding which ingredients(for cooking) to buy. When it comes to cooking, they make leftovers. If they are not using them afterward, they are throwing them away. This waste is especially in plant foods.

94% share their recipes or methods
HOME
The homepage is a flow page where users share their content. The purpose of this flow page is to allow users to discover other users' methods, recipes, leftovers, tips, and recipe boards through a random encounter path.
Discover the details of the recipe by clicking on it.
Click on the user's name or picture, and explore her recipe boards.
Save the sharing (methods, leftovers, tips, recipes) made with the save button to the recipe board.
UPLOAD
The users load their recipes, tips, methods, and leftovers from the upload part. Upload allows the user to share their knowledge about herbal food.
53% of them try to evaluate the leftover vegetables and fruits that do not use.
VEG
In this section, users can find the recipes, tips, methods, and leftovers they want by searching. Thus, the user can discover different methods for using the herbal food at hand without wasting it.
70% of them save recipes they like, have made before, or bought from someone.
Recipes, tips, methods, or leftover are saved in a selected clipboard.
Users can find what they have saved before by searching here in a short time.
The user organizes the boards according to their wishes.
This part was created based on the results of my research and influenced by Pinterest. As a result of 70% felt the need to record their recipes. For this reason, the recipe boards section, where users save recipes, was created.

BOARD
77% DO NOT Plan Meal.
59% of them make a list before going shopping to avoid buying vegetables or fruits they don't need.
Make a plan by adding what you want to do to the days.
PLAN&SHOP
PLAN&SHOP integrated with the recipe board. In other words, the users create their weekly list by adding what they have saved on the Recipe Board to the PLAN section. They also add the material deficiencies in the list to the SHOP section. Thereby, the user organizes the purchasing and use process, controls his consumption, reduces waste, and spends his money more efficiently.
Add the missing materials to the shopping list according to your needs.
