Regrow food from scraps? I used to think that there was NO way I could regrow food from scraps, but it’s actually surprisingly easy! Use my method to regrow food in your own kitchen!

Take the bottom of a heart of lettuce and put it in a container with about ½ inch of water. Make sure to keep it in sunlight and switch the water every other day or so. Continue until the lettuce begins to sprout!

Try regrowing some garlic chives! Just take a garlic clove and put it in a container and add water without submerging the whole thing. Within a few days, the shoots will start to appear!
