Healthy foods that you can regrow over and over again

Posted on sustenance

Growing our own food, which also grows back over and over again, is not only healthy for our diet, but also better for the environment. You can look forward to a whole host of benefits when you plant vegetables, spices or your own herb garden.

Here are some of the most suitable foods, which you can grow once and use again and again — both right for your diet and your culinary needs.

Chilli:
Choose your favorite type of chili and remove the seeds. Then place them in soil (use different pots for different varieties) and place the pot in a sunny area.

garlic sprouts:
It may not be possible to regrow a whole piece of garlic — but the delicious and healthy sprouts can be reused over and over again and give your dishes an even better taste. Place a garlic bulb in a glass or pot and add some water to the bottom of the plant. (Be careful not to “drown” the tuber) Change the water every few days and cut off the sprouts you need. (Not too often, otherwise the sprouts may not grow back because they have been completely cut off.)

Avocado:
You may not get an entire tree out of every single core, but try two to three seeds at first until they take root. Place the core with the pointed side up (using toothpicks) over a glass or small bowl and dip the bottom half in water, which you change regularly. Keep the whole thing in a light-flooded environment until, after six weeks, a few roots and stems are slowly noticeable on the tip of the core. As soon as you discover leaves and your small tree is about 2 to 3 centimeters high, you can transfer the core into a small pot with soil and drainage.

basil:
Remove the lower leaves of the healthy plant and keep a few stems (five or more) in clean water, which you renew day after day. As soon as new roots become noticeable, separate the stems and plant them individually in soil. Water regularly and thrive and regrow in a sunny environment — a huge benefit for your diet.

Tomatoes:
Save tomato seeds, wash them and let them dry. Then put them in a flower pot as a houseplant and as soon as the sprouts are a few centimeters long, you can move everything to a sunny environment and move the plant.

ginger:
Take the remains of a piece of ginger and plant them in a pot with soil. New shoots and roots will soon grow, which you can then cut off and reuse.
