VEG peel and cut ends go in the bin in most households but they can be used to grow more tasty food.
Here’s how to get a second bite from the cut-offs that you usually chuck . . .
ONIONS: These are some of the easiest to grow from scraps. Spring onions will bounce back from the ends that are usually chopped off and thrown away.
Just leave a few centimetres of stalk coming out the top of the roots, pop them in water and you’ll soon have a fresh crop. You can also regrow yellow and red onions from scraps.
Cut off the root end, with an inch of onion. Put it root-side down in a shallow dish of water or soil in a sunny spot.
