The TRUTH About Regrowing Veggies From Kitchen Scraps

Hopefully this clears up some of the regrowing hacks you see out there on the internet! Stay tuned for more experiments ;)

I'll be growing carrots from seeds that were harvested from grocery store carrots tops. Only took me 2 years of trying to get this far😅

This was the best it really helped so much❤ thank u!

2 thumbs down

Actually some citrus - particularly limes, calimondions, oranges and tangerines - will come true from seed. This is unlike common deciduous fruits such as apple or pears 😃

I wonder if I can regrow a spring (tall green) onion over winter in my kitchen? They are so expensive to buy in winter...

The scraps that flower, let them go to seed. The seeds can be harvested and replanted.

Kiwi 🥝
Lettuces
Celery
Green onions

They’re going to use a seed look for heirloom only. Period. the rest are hybrids and you’re not gonna get what you want

It's silly what people will call a "hack." Did anyone seriously not know you can grow garden vegetables from scraps?

One thing very important she forgot to mention is that when they go to flower if pollinated they will then go to seed and you can grow a hole new plant. We got some mint plants for our garden, and after a month it started to die back but I noticed that it went to flower so we left it, the original plant died but a new one grew somewhere else in the garden and now its taken over

Whenever i get green onions i always plant them in a pot in my kitchen and i can reharvest them 5 or 6 times before they become too weak to grow further, they grow about 1/8 an inch a day

You probably have polycarbonate sheets l. If you remove some you will have triple the growth 😊

Lemongrass is fun to grow, but it really takes long time to gnerate new stems.

carrots and potatoes work better if you cut them then let it scab over. I find if you keep them in water they just rot.

You are not answering the root question and just talking about everything else but the topic at hand!! Make multiple videos if you are going to talk about multiple different things! This should have been a quick answer not a dream out mono log !

even if it does not regrow, compost still is an option. especially if you want to fertilize your ground, eggshells, hair and ground coffee can do wonders ;)

if you are in a hot climate, pineapples are fun to grow. Just plant the leafy top part in the ground and wait two years. You will get a brand new pineapple.

We had grown an avocado tree in 1 or 2 years. But it didnt give us any fruit😢

But what cultural level do they have in that region to not know that an apple tree reaches full production in no less than 5 years? Otherwise what use would plant nurseries be?

I've had a lot of success regrowing carrots from the tops. Also potatoes. We ate some of our own potatoes yesterday. I once grew a massive avocado tree from a seed with a shoot in it. It started bearing fruit after eight years and were the biggest (600g - 1kg) and tastiest avos anyone had ever tasted. I've moved to a cooler climate now and left my tree behind, but it's still going strong!

I've got green onions in water and once a month or so I scissors chop the green bits for garnish. Keeps in a bowl in the fridge for weeks

What about growing cabbage from cabbage?

Your voice is PERFECT for news

Growing spring onions from the bottom scrap parts

My client threw potato skins on the ground and potato grew

I had broccoli for over 3 yrs before it didnt produce and die

I would agree with most regions and not knowing where your store got its fruit or veggies, but... in San Antonio, TX we are SPOILED with HEB! I have grow soo much, successfully, with organic/local produce bought there.

Awesome video! Ty

What if you forgot you had ginger and later found it in the fridge, dried out. Could it still be good for planting?

You should eat the greens rather than kick them, may be you’ll loose that round belly…

I'm growing out onion bottoms and hoping they run to seed.

I planted a HUGE seed from an organic lemon almost 2 years ago and the tree started out with sunlight and then I moved it indoors under grow lights. It grew a tree that has great big thorns. If you touch the leaves then smell your fingers it smells wonderful! I germinated the seed in a wet paper towel inside of a plastic ziploc bag that I aired out each day.

don't kiwi, have male and female vines seperate and you need both for fruiting?!

Sad ah that some pricks decided it was a good idea to modify veges etc so we cant grow them on from the seed. They will tell you people don't like seeds in their vegs etc. Whatever - its so they can have the monopoly over what's grown. Wait till you cant buy packet seeds anymore.

For lettuce you should also cut down part which dried, just a slice, then it will root sooner.

Thank you for this informative video!

why is my screen brighter than the video as it is edited itself ? i understand you can’t always have lighting but damn

Great advice I will give it a shot. Thank you

I got roots and growth from chinese cabbage. It’s in the ground now. I grow green onions in a glass of water as cut and come again for about a month and then i put it out into the garden to keep going.

loved the different zones tips and tricks

Pineapple!?..latest weird hack is they planted a banana in the soil...lol showed it producing leaves and somehow, some way, their banana never went brown or black 🖤 😂 half submerged in soil stalk side down...ba ha ha bs

i think of course some things are easier than others and some will mitigate the need to ever buy more of that produce again, like garlic or potatoes. get ur mileage out of your bought produce so you can save money, or create compost or more food!

Potatoes will grow if they are showing roots. Just shove them back into the soil and water.

I had a WONDERFUL mango in a cafe once and I snuck the seed home so now I have delicious mangos

Very interesting video. It seems inefficient to try to regrow these scraps to eat the same plant repeatedly.
This seems like it would be great for selective breeding of plants though. Eat part of a plant to find the most delicious ones, only try to grow the most delicious ones with the goal of producing seeds.

where did she get her greenhouse?

lmao the beggining got me. Loved how you popped outta nowhere.
