There are so many foods you can regrow from your scraps! All it takes is a little time, love, sunlight, and water.

 

Here are 5 Plants You Can Regrow From Your Food Scraps:

1. Celery

All you need is the base of the celery (the white end). Leave it in a bowl with warm water. Place that bowl in the sun for as much time as possible, and you’ll have brand new celery stalks within a week or so. Once the leaves begin to thicken, transplant the celery plant into potting soil and let it grow.

2. Bell Peppers

All you need are the seeds of any pepper (bell pepper, jalapeno, etc.). Wash the seeds and allow them to sit in the sun until they are dry (on a window sill or table by sunlight). Place the seeds in potting soil, set the pot in direct sunlight, and let them grow.

3. Lemons

To grow a lemon tree, all you need are a few lemon seeds. Wash and dry the seeds before planting in quality potting soil.

4. Peaches or Plums

It will take a few years for the trees to grow fruit. But, it is definitely worth the wait! Collect the seeds of your peaches, nectarines, or plums, and dry them out. Once they have been properly dried, plant them in nutrient-rich potting soil with access to direct sunlight.

5. Onions

Gather some onion roots, making sure there is about half an inch of onion still attached. Cover the root with potting soil and set the plant into direct sunlight. Keep the plant hydrated and you’ll notice the onions growing in no time.
