Did you know you can grow green onions nearly forever if you place the roots in a glass of water?

Here’s a quick and easy tip for those who love green onions as much as they love saving money!

While most people simply throw out their kitchen scraps, you can save the bottom parts of green onions and they will regrow with nothing more than water! Very cool. Apparently there’s a wide range of vegetables you can do this with but green onions are the easiest.

A few others I’ve seen are Leeks, Romaine Lettuce, Celery and even Carrots!

How do I do it?

Put the onions in a glass with enough water to cover them. Move the onions around so the roots are facing down. Change the water out every 2 days. Within a week you’ll have a fresh batch of green onions!

That’s it!

Americans throw out 150,000 tonnes of food every day!

You can repeat this process quite a few times to get the same result. This is a sure fire way to save money, time and take a step towards sustainable living. What are you waiting for? Grow your green onions forever!

Now if only there was a way to do this with bacon…
