Revisiting this train of thought:
Veggies & Herbs You Can Regrow from Discarded Scraps I have been experimenting with this...as a result of the 10 lbs of beets fiasco. There are now many strange bits growing in my kitchen window.
 |
| Bok Choy, Bok Choy also with garlic scapes, carrot greens and some green onions I just started. |
 |
| Swiss Chard, beet greens and in far distance the garlic scapes again. |
A foodie friend told me that lots of "regular" produce will likely not regrow because it has to be irradiated. He was surprised the Bok Choy & Swiss Chard & Garlic were doing anything. The carrots were from a local farm, grocery store ones didn't grow. I tried grocery store onions but no luck there either. So on that subject it is hit and miss and worth a try anyway. This is about 3 weeks worth of growth, some are newer than others as I put things in as we use them. I am excited to eventually consume these things!
Also, in recent culinary success, we fermented our own ginger beer and it was good!
Here is the recipe we followed. Next time we plan to double the ginger in the first step as we like spicy ginger beer a la Jamaican style.
