You can save money on green onions by growing your own in water. Just save the cut bulb ends from a bunch of green onions and you're ready to get started!
Author: Beverly
Equipment:
Small Glass Jar (I used a 2 oz size to get started)
Materials:
Water
A Few Grown Green Onions
Instructions:
To begin, cut the white bulb ends off from a few green onions that are already grown. (My cuttings are usually about 1½ inches long.)
Place these cuttings into a small jar with the roots facing downward.
Add enough water to the jar to cover the roots. The top ends of the cuttings can be sticking out of the water.
Place the jar with the cuttings and water in a spot where it will get some light and warmth. You should see new growth within a few days.
The water can be changed periodically if it starts to turn cloudy. You may also wish to transfer your cuttings to a larger jar as the roots and shoots keep growing.
After two or three weeks your new green onions should be grown enough to use in recipes.
