If you’re looking to improve your lifestyle and make it more eco-friendly, repurposing your food is a great way to start. Coffee grounds that we throw away on a daily basis can be reused in kitchen, garden, and even our beauty routine. Here are a few creative ways to repurpose coffee grounds.
Plant Fertilizer
Coffee grounds can be an amazing fertilizer for acid-loving plants such as blueberries, roses, carrots, or rhododendrons. To use it as a fertilizer your can simply sprinkle coffee grounds onto the soil or dilute it with water.
Compost
Fans of composting will be happy to hear that coffee grounds can be a great addition to compost. Adding them to compost is actually highly recommendable, because coffee grounds are an excellent source of nitrogen and they will make your compost richer.
Neutralize Odors
Since they’re highly acidic, coffee grounds are actually perfect for reducing bad odors. Dried grounds can be very useful for eliminating odors from your microwave, sneakers, gym bag, or fridge.
Body Scrub
Last but not least, you can repurpose used coffee grounds to make a homemade body scrub. This DIY coffee scrub is great for exfoliating body and face and removing dead skin cells.
