It is a known fact that we do not consume whole vegetables as it is , there is always a part which is thrown as waste and rest major part of the vegetable is consumed. There are numerous vegetables whose waste part can be regrown to obtain harvest .
A Radish is a popular vegetable which is not consumed as a whole but only consumed after removing the green leafy part from the top of Radish. We can grow the leftover leafy part for obtaining harvest of Radish pods .
How is it done ?
Firstly a Radish is dissected from its top green leaves

Very interesting, dear Arun, maybe I should try too. But we don´t have a garden....

I think it's normal this regrow of the plants, but it's easier if you have a garden.
ReplyDeleteMy small experience in the balcony was with a celery (apio).
Thank you for the tips, Arun!
Happy WW!
It's a fantastic way to reduce food waste and grow fresh produce at home. I'll definitely try regrowing some of these vegetables.
