Baking a Greener Future: Lunar New Year Treats—By Helixians, For Helixians
To welcome the Lunar New Year, residents of Helix House came together for a delightful, hands-on baking session in collaboration with The Moonbeam Co., a brand dedicated to transforming food waste into wellness—one bite at a time. Specializing in upcycling spent coffee grounds and grains that would otherwise be discarded, The Moonbeam Co. turns these byproducts into the foundation of delectable, sustainable treats.
During the event, Helixians rolled up their sleeves and got to work from scratch, mixing, shaping, and baking their own cookies using spent grain flour, a highly nutritious and eco-friendly ingredient derived from the brewing process. The founders of The Moonbeam Co. engaged residents in inspiring conversations about their mission, sharing insights into how food waste can be repurposed into something both meaningful and delicious.
Helixians carefully packaged their handcrafted treats into exclusive Helix House containers, ready to take home and share with loved ones. Beyond just baking, residents walked away with valuable eco-friendly kitchen tips, making this gathering not only a fun celebration but also a thought-provoking experience on how small, mindful choices can lead to a greener lifestyle. The joy, laughter, and sense of accomplishment made this event a truly memorable addition to everyone’s Lunar New Year festivities.
