Did you know that you can have outdoor and indoor plants that you regrow from scraps? Well, now you know! The vegetables that you cook always leave food scraps such as onion bottoms or carrots tops, and it’s better if you do not throw them away.

By regrowing food scraps, you not just save your money but also reduce food waste that you generate in your home. Plus you also can develop your gardening skills. Isn’t that great that you can do that with little to no money and without much time and effort too?

Let’s start making your little garden with these plants that you can regrow from scraps. On this list, you can regrow more than just carrot tops or onion bottoms and I’m sure it will give you satisfaction once your plant starts to grow.

15 Foods You Can Regrow From Scraps

1. Celery

Celery

You can start by growing celery bottom on your window sill or near the window where there is sunlight and after a week or so you can transplant your celery into the garden or a pot to grow full stalks. If you are serious enough to regrow celery, you’ll find the celery grow into full size, crunchy and delicious stalks. (Via Getty Stewart)

2. Garlic Greens

Garlic Greens

If you have a bulb of garlic that already sprouts or cloves with roots, it could be a sign for you to grow it. Garlic sprouts can be planted indoors and out. For indoor, you can put the clove in a small cup and fill it with very little water then it will grow garlic chives. You can use the chives for vegetable salads or stir them into egg salads.

3. Lemongrass

Lemongrass

You will not just save your money by regrowing lemongrass, but also get a lot of benefits from this plant. You can use them to flavor your herbal tea, to soothe your tired feet in a foot bath or even as an air freshener that makes your home smell good. Just make sure that the store-bought lemongrass still has the stem intact. (Via Garden Betty)

4. Carrot Greens

Carrot Tops

You can’t grow real carrots from carrot tops, because carrots are a taproot and need seeds to grow, and once it removed they can’t regrow.

But you can use carrot tops to grow carrot greens. It also is rewarding if you transfer the plant in the soil once they have rooted well and let the plants grow until making a spectacular display. So, why not give it a try? (Via Gardening Know How)

5. Tomatoes

Pineapple is a slow-growing plant, so it takes more than 2 years to see it bloom. But if you enjoy growing plants and like the long, shiny, sword-like leaves, then you can start planting a pineapple. (Via Gardener’s Path)
