We love green onions. They are perfect in a fresh garden salad, on top of a baked potato, and scattered in pretty much any savory dish.

A couple of years ago, I came across this great tip for regrowing your green onions. It’s so simple, anyone can do it.

All you need to do is put the root ends in a small glass of water, place it on your window sill, and watch them grow! See, simple!

I would also suggest replacing the water every few days. When you do that, give the roots and ends a good rinse too. They tend to get slimy, and eventually moldy if you don’t.

Give a try next time you buy green onions. It may just save you a quick trip to the store, and eventually, a little bit of money too.

I ended up using the white parts for a recipe and harvested the whole thing. Next time I buy some more I am going to buy 2 bunches, perhaps putting them in water is good for bringing them inside during the colder months.
