That sourdough discard is not waste. It is flour, water, and flavor you already paid for. Save clean discard in a dated jar, keep it in the fridge, and use it within about 7 days for pancakes, crackers, muffins, or pizza crust. If it smells sharp but pleasant, bake with it. If you see mold, toss

HOOK: Every spoon of discard is flour, water, and flavor you already paid for.
BEAT 1: Discard happens because feeding keeps starter balanced. Instead of tossing it, collect clean discard in the fridge for pancakes, crackers, muffins, or pizza crust. [on-screen: Save discard in the fridge] [b-roll: spooning discard into labeled jar]
BEAT 2: Keep a simple discard jar and use it within about a week. If it smells sharp but pleasant, bake with it. If mold appears, toss it. [on-screen: Use within 7 days, no mold] [b-roll: checking jar, adding date label]
BEAT 3: Dehydrated starter makes entry easier because it ships dormant. Once reactivated, those routine feedings create small, usable amounts of discard. [on-screen: Reactivate, feed, save discard] [b-roll: adding water and flour to starter]
CTA: Turn this weekend’s discard into one recipe, then tell us what you saved from the trash.
