How to Resprout Green Onions

CHOW Associate Editor Roxanne Webber regenerates her green onions, creating an endless loop of onion tops to use in her cooking—like in this recipe for Sweet Corn with Scallions. We’ve got more green tips that will put a little ecofriendly spring in your step: Employ your leftover coffee grounds as an exfoliant. Learn how to extend the use of veggie scraps and a chicken carcass. Plus, how to do your dishes and clean your counters the environmental way.

CHOW Tips are the shared wisdom of our community. If you’ve figured out some piece of food, drink, or cooking wisdom that you’d like to share on video (and you can be in San Francisco), email Meredith Arthur and tell us what you’ve got in mind.

  • you can replant any onion store onion.

  • At this point most of the younger folks have grandparents who dropped those great homekeeping ideas as soon as Swanson showed up with frozen dinners. This video clip about resprouting green onions was news to me (even if overly simple to a previous commenter) and will become part of our kitchen routine.

  • I planted some green onion roots when I moved to a milder climate and they are still growing strong, on their third year!

  • Hey thats a great idea! I thought it was very interesting

  • Perhaps you could do another video on "How to pour a glass of water?"

    or "How to open a Refrigerator door?"

  • What a great idea. Thanks!

  • I have used coffee grounds on my house plants and in the garden for at least 50 years. Many of the practices of the older generation were green, just because we grew up using up every thing and not wasting items. Maybe the younger needs to talk with their grandparents more?
