You can regrow food from the grocery store!

Here’s what you need:

1. Water
2. Cutting board and knife (ask a grown-up for help!)
3. Small bowl, cup, or dish
4. Vegetables like: Celery, Carrot, Beets, scallion

Step 1: Cut your vegetables.

Ask a grown-up for help.
Use a knife to cut the top inch of a carrot or a beet, or the bottom 1-2 inches of scallion or celery. Like this:

Step 2: Put your vegetable scraps in water and near light.

Step 3: Observe your plant.

Observe your plants everyday and take notes on what you see! If the water evaporates from your dish, refill it.

Step 4: Eat your veggies!

Scallions

Once they have regrown to be nice and tall and green, cut off the green part. Chop it up and add it to nearly any dish for a nice oniony flavor!

Carrots

The orange part won’t regrow, but the tops will! Cut the greens and mix them into a salad, soup, or pesto.

Beets

The beetroot won’t grow back, but the greens will! Cut the greens off and saute them with garlic or add them to a soup.

Celery

The celery stalks will grow back. Cut them off and eat them as a snack or add them to soups and salads.
