☕🌿 Brewing Sustainability: 4 Eco-Friendly Ways to Reuse Coffee Grounds

In Palestinian culture, coffee isn’t just a drink  it’s a symbol of hospitality, resilience, and gathering. But even after the last sip, the coffee’s journey doesn’t end. Here are four simple and eco-conscious ways to reuse your coffee grounds at home:

🌱 1. Fertilize Your Plants

Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen and great for your garden. Sprinkle them around acid-loving plants like tomatoes or roses to nourish the soil and encourage growth.

🐛 2. Repel Pests Naturally

The scent and texture of coffee grounds help keep ants, snails, and even cats away. Scatter used grounds around your plants or near entryways to protect your space.

🧼 3. Make a Natural Body or Hand Scrub

Mix used coffee grounds with coconut oil for a quick, exfoliating scrub. It’s perfect for removing dead skin or strong cooking smells from your hands.

🌸 4. Neutralize Odors in Your Home

Dried coffee grounds absorb odors like a charm. Place them in an open container in the fridge, shoe closet, or car to keep the air fresh.
