Upcycle your veggies

Save some green while being green. This tip enables you to reuse scallions and garlic. Replant the roots of scallions and garlic (you know, the parts we typically discard). To do this for scallions, take a scallion and cut it right where it starts to turn from white near the roots to green. Save the white part that has the roots attached and replant it in your home garden. Similarly, you can replant a single clove of garlic in your home garden and it will grow a long stem that smells like garlic and can be used just like garlic in recipes.
