Foods That Magically Regrow Themselves (No Green Thumb Needed)
Similar to green onions, submerge the base in water. Leeks will regrow from the white base, eager to give you more of their mild, oniony flavor with minimal effort.
Just place the white roots in a glass of water, making sure not to submerge the entire plant. Green onions are champions of regeneration, sprouting new shoots in just a few days because they retain their growth point even after cutting.
Plant a single clove root-down in potting soil. Garlic is determined to grow, with the clove acting as a starter kit for a new shoot, often even when left on the counter!
Leave the bottom of the lettuce in a bowl of water. It’s a lazy plant’s dream! New leaves start sprouting from the center in about a week, as if it’s on a mission to become a salad again.
Cut off the base and place it in a shallow bowl of water. Celery bases turn into overachievers in water, sprouting new leaves from the center in no time.
Just like celery, bulb fennel can be given a second life with a simple trick. Start by placing the base of the bulb—with the root system intact—in a shallow dish of water.
Onions can be grown by planting the bottom end with roots in soil. They are the comeback kids of the vegetable world, ready to sprout new greens and eventually, a new bulb.
