Regrowing Onions from Scraps
Did you know you can regrow onions from kitchen scraps? It’s super easy and fun, plus it helps reduce waste! Here’s how to regrow onions right from the roots:
Materials You’ll Need: Onion Scraps: You can use the bottom part of the onion, where the roots are located.
Water: To soak the scraps and encourage root growth.
Container or Pot: A small container or pot to hold the scraps and water.
Soil (Optional): If you want to transplant the onion into soil later on.
Steps to Regrow Onions from Scraps: Save the Onion Scraps: Cut off the bottom part of the onion, leaving at least an inch of the root end.
Soak in Water: Place the onion scraps in a container with just enough water to cover the roots.
Place in a Sunny Spot: Put the container near a window with plenty of sunlight. Change the water every 2-3 days to keep it fresh.
Wait for Roots and Greens to Grow: In about 7-10 days, you should see new green shoots growing out of the top and roots forming at the bottom.
Transplant to Soil (Optional): Once the roots are strong and the green shoots are tall, you can transplant your onion scrap into a pot with soil or directly into your garden.
Harvest: As the onion continues to grow, you’ll have fresh green onions to harvest for cooking, or you can let it grow further to form a full onion.
Tips for Success:
Sunlight: Onions need plenty of light to grow, so make sure they get at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
Watering: Keep the roots submerged in water until you transplant them into soil.
Patience: This process may take a few weeks, but you’ll get fresh green onions from your kitchen scraps!
