Green Onions.

I stumbled across this on HomeSteadingSurvivalism's website and thought I'd pass this fun fact along. I've heard about this in the past, but have never thought to do it until just now :)

"The next time you have green onions, don't throw away the white ends. Simply submerge them in a glass of water and place them in a sunny window. Your onions will grow almost immediately and can be harvest almost indefinitely. We just use kitchen scissors to cut what we need for our meals and periodically empty out the water, rinse the roots and give them fresh water."

Also, if you can't seem to use them fast enough -- take and cut a bunch of these up into small pieces with some kitchen shears (can do with chives too) and then throw them into an empty water bottle and place in the freezer. Anytime you need them in a recipe, just take them out, open the lid and shake some into your dish!

What are some fun tips you have for 'recycling' your fruits/veggies?
