Saving the environment, Save the World.

As a certified sustainable business in Sacramento, Hannibal’s Catering is actively finding ways to be more efficient in saving our environment and cost savings by recycling and reducing waste in our commercial kitchen. More than half of our daily kitchen waste came from vegetables trims and fruits rinds. In the summer months, during the peak of the fruit season, our kitchen would generate more than a hundred gallon of leftover vegetables and fruit rinds on a daily basis.

As part of a solution, Hannibal’s Catering is turning to “Garbage Enzyme” to make lemonade out of lemons. It’s even easy to make than lemonade. Discover the endless benefits for use in your restaurant /catering kitchen of this Earth-saving enzyme. Garbage Enzyme is the solution to recover the ozone layer that is depleting and help is lower global warming.

Garbage Enzyme is a complex solution produced by fermentation of fresh kitchen waste (fruits and vegetables), sugar (brown sugar, jiggery or molasses sugar) and water. It is dark brown and has a strong sweet sour fermented scent. Garbage enzyme is a multipurpose liquid and its applications covers household, agriculture, industrial etc.

Cost Efficient: Turn your kitchen waste to natural and organic household and environmentally safe cleaners. Use them in your kitchen as a floor cleaner, sanitizer for your restroom floor, soap of hand washing, etc.

Multiple Usages: Natural household cleaner; air purifier; deodorizer; insecticide; detergent; body care; car care; organic fertilizer, etc
Reduce Pollution: Methane gas released from disposed garbage can trap 21 times more heat than CO2, worsen the global warming condition.

Purify Air: Remove odor. Dissolve toxic air released from smoking, car exhaust, chemical residues from household products, etc.
Purify Underground Water: Enzyme that flow underground will eventually purify the river and the sea.

Natural Pesticides: Reduce mosquitoes, flies, rats or cockroaches, etc
Anti-bacterial and Virus: Natural antiseptic for your home or business

Prevent Drainpipe Blockage: Release residues accumulated in the pipe of basins or toilet bowls.

Preparation Recipe
1. Air tight plastic container.
2. Water
3. Fruit and vegetable dregs
4. Sugar - (brown sugar or molasses sugar)

Step 1:
3 Parts kitchen waste (Fill up 30% full of discarded fruit rinds in container)



Steps 2:
10 Parts water (Fill up 60% of container) & 1 Part brown sugar (=10% water content)



Steps 3:

Close tight - Keep for 3 months (Open occasional to release gases for the first month)



==================================================

Here's how:
1. Use an air-tight plastic container.
2. Dilute sugar in water; follow by adding vegetable and fruit dregs.
3. Leave some space in the container for fermentation.
4. Close it tight.
5. During the first month, gases will be released during fermentation process. Release the pressure built up in the container to avoid rupturing.
6. Push the floating garbage downward after the first month and reseal.
7. Place at cool, dry and well ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight Let ferment for at least 3 months before use.
Take notes:
1. Do not use glass or metal containers that cannot expand.
2. Garbage for making enzyme should not include any protein, paper, plastic, metal or glass materials. Use only vegetables and fruit dregs.
3. The ideal color of garbage enzyme is dark brown. If it turned black, add in same amount of sugar to start fermentation process again.
5. It may have a white, black or brown layer on top of the enzyme, ignore it. If you encounter flies and worms in the container, leave it and the chemical reaction of enzyme will resolve them naturally. Close and seal the cover tightly.
6. Make full use of garbage enzyme residue:
>> Reuse for next production by adding fresh garbage.
>> Use as fertilizer by drying the residue, blend it and bury in the ground

7. If you have not gathered enough kitchen waste, you may fill up the container gradually. The 3 month fermentation period start from the day you place your last batch of kitchen waste.
8. Garbage enzyme is at its best after 6 months of fermentation. The longer it takes, the better it gets. Garbage enzyme will never expire. Do not store in the refrigerator.
9. Help protect our ozone layer, if every household utilized their garbage to produce garbage enzyme. It can stop kitchen waste from polluting our land and meanwhile generate enough ozone gas to ease global warming. You can help change the climate!

A raving review!

Hannibal's Catering recently did a very large event for one of our top clients last week. We simply wanted to share the gracious words that were said about Hannibal's Catering and our staff. Please enjoy pictures from the event as well.

Hello Nancy,

Well you and Hannibal’s certainly have a new fan on the East Coast! I can’t say enough about all you did to make our Grand Opening a success! Quite honestly, you exceeded my expectations- which is a great thing.

So often when I am planning an event, large or small, it is a challenge to really get the attention of the caterer, or other provider until very close to the event – which often causes me a few extra gray hairs. I was so impressed in March when you were ready to roll and get the details moving – and I continued to be impressed with your professionalism, your good counsel and your flexibility. And, your end product, with the excellent food so creatively and beautifully presented, perfectly staged tent and professional staff, it was all a delight. (I have a special affection for the bar staff, who made sure I had an extra big glass of champagne at the end of it all!)

I am not a fan of big events – because they seem like great big buffets to me, so impersonal and seeming thrown together – but this “big” event seemed like an intimate gathering, so well prepared and thought out, with attention to detail. It is a talent to set this tone and to create a sense of specialness for the day.

Thank you so much, Nancy. I hope that we have the opportunity to work together in the future.
