Eating healthy and nutritious meals every day certainly can be a challenge, as healthy food can be substantially more expensive sometimes. The perfect recipe for a clean and healthy diet is a lot of fruits and vegetables, but did you know that you can actually grow a ton of fruits and veggies at home? No need to buy seeds or deal with annoying starter packs, you can simply regrow it with the food you’ve already got laying around.

We’ve compiled a list of 12 amazing examples, so let’s take a look!

1) Green onions

These are absolutely great for use in salads, in tacos or in a lot of mixed dishes. The green onions -sometimes also referred to as scallions – can regrow very easily. There’s always an unused part with roots, simply put it in a glass of water and make sure it can reach some sunlight.

2) Tomatoes

Chances are you probably already knew about this, but if you’ve got some good soil, why not simply plant your own tomatoes? No need to get seed packets, the tomato seeds from the ones you already have will suffice. Another option is just to put an entire half in the ground, as the decomposing of the tomato will actually make the seeds grow better and faster.

3) Ginger root

Using ginger root can be extremely delicate, but it’s also a very interesting spice to use with proven versatility. As the name suggests, these are actually roots, so whenever you’ve used as much as you needed, place the rest in some soil. It’ll regrow just fine in the garden or a planter.

4) Avocados

These can be a bit tricky to grow, but that also makes it more fun, doesn’t it? Save the large pit and place it above some water. Not too long after, roots will start to form and you’ll be able to bury it. A small avocado tree should begin to start forming if you’re patient.

5) Peppers

You’ll probably know that there are a ton of seeds in peppers, and it turns out that they can grow excellently, even in small containers. So even if you’ve got a small garden or just a balcony – pepper seeds will do the trick just fine. Make sure to clean and dry thoroughly before putting them in the ground.

6) Cherries

These small bombs of taste can be used for snacks, pies, ice cream and just about anything in between. Simply planting them will result in cherry trees growing, and then you can use as much as you want.

7) Hazelnuts

Granted, this will take a couple of years and it works best if you plant hazelnuts in some soil adjacent to a hazelnut tree to a grew a new one, but you’ll have a large supply of hazelnuts in the near future!

8) Cucumbers

Another type of vegetable that is really easy to grow, as there are a ton of seeds that you can just easily put into a pot or some garden soil. A quicker option is to toss a bit of unused cucumber in it instead, and it’ll start to form a vine with new cucumbers growing.

9) Carrots

You don’t use the top of carrots anyway, so why throw them away if you can regrow them instead? Plant them in the ground or a rather deep planter, and you’ll quickly see them regrowing. Who couldn’t use a couple of extra carrots in the house?

10) Pineapples

If you think that pineapples only grow in warm climates, that’s actually wrong! They’ll grow just fine in your soil. Cut off the top of the pineapple with the leaves, and plant it in the ground. Another one will grow from that discarded part, and it ends up in an infinite supply of pineapples – no matter the season or climate.

11) Parsley

Parsley is definitely something you should never have to buy if you decide to grow it yourself, as it grows in plenty amounts and you usually don’t need much of it anyway. It adds a distinctive flavor and looks colorful to your dishes, making it a perfect candidate.

12) Peaches

The conditions for growing peaches are a little bit more difficult because you need nutrient-rich soil to plant the pit into. It’s also important that you let the pit dry out completely before it can start to grow new fruits. If all ends well, you’ll end up with a small peach tree.
