There is something kind of magical about food that regrows itself. Some of these are really easy, others will take a larger commitment. But c’mon- try at least one! It’s actually a fun project and will take you less time time than finding a new show on Netflix. 🙂 This is also a fantastic way to teach young kids that whole miracle of life thing. And if you pull it off, you’ll be that badass mom or dad for just a while longer…
Scallions (green onions)
You can regrow scallions by leaving an inch attached to the roots and place them in a small glass with a little water in a well-lit room.
Garlic
When garlic begins to sprout, you can put them in a glass with a little water and grow garlic sprouts. The sprouts have a mild flavor than garlic and can be added to salads, pasta and other dishes.
Bok Choy
Bok choy can be regrown by placing the root end in water in a well-lit area. In 1-2 weeks , you can transplant it to a pot with soil and grow a full new head.
Carrots

Basil

Celery
Cut off the base of the celery and place it in a saucer or shallow bowl of warm water in the sun. Leaves will begin to thicken and grow in the middle of the base, then transfer the celery to soil.
Romaine Lettuce
