Recycle Your Onions Into an Endless Supply of Scallions.

by on May 21, 2008

I’ve been doing this ever since I’ve had a patch of dirt in which to grow ’em. Next time you grab a bunch of scallions/green onions at the supermarket, hold onto the root ends.

Then, simply plant them about one inch into the dirt (in the garden or a pot). Water well, and wait for the greens to return. The more you snip them, they faster they’ll grow.

A white plant is growing on the soil.

You can also do this with whole garlic bulbs and use the green sprouts in pastas, stirfrys, etc.
