The Mill Food Recycler works while you sleep to shrink food scraps by drying and grinding peels, bones, stalks, and leftovers into nutrient-rich grounds. You can even add scraps if it's running a cycle, and its state-of-the-art filtration system keeps odors out of your home. Designed to stop microbial decomposition, the Mill Food Recycler prevents food from rotting while conserving nutrients. The makers collaborated with research institutes on processing times and temperatures to create conditions that would allow the Mill to destroy pathogens and keep the good stuff intact. The resultant food grounds, even meat and dairy, can be stored as shelf-stable grounds for months.
