Just plant some of the leftover veggies! 6 things that can and cannot reborn vegetables easily

Hi there, it's Minami.

I'd like to make even more use of the vegetables I usually buy to make them more economical to turn around...

I don't have a lot of money to spare, but I want to grow something...

For those people, today we would like to introduce some of the best vegetables for "riboveggie".

Reboveggie is literally regrowing the vegetable again from the part of the vegetable you cut off, leaving the part you always throw away and planting it in the soil, etc. The growing part, of course, can be eaten!

Basically, I personally prefer to grow things that I honestly use occasionally and can't usually afford, rather than things I buy often.

Some of them didn't fit when I actually tried them, so please see them for reference as well.

Of course, some of the seeds you normally eat should be left behind as well. You can read more about that in here, if you're interested.

 So here you go.

Recommendations to Reborn Veggies

(1) Bean sprouts (Tomyo)

First of all, regenerative cultivation is a bean plant. It is typical. The roots are often sold as sponge parts, which is why many people try regenerative cultivation of bean seedlings.

When you use the lantern packets you bought, just change the water occasionally, leaving the stems a little longer.

If you put it near a window, it will grow on its own. It's so easy! They'll grow 3-4 times if you try hard enough, up to 2 times, I promise.

If you don't have a lot of vegetables to keep...try growing bean plants. Even if you don't have any vegetables at home, cut and fry them from growing bean plants.

(2) Mitsuba (Japanese parsely)

Mitsuba also grows well.

I don't think many people use them very often, so why not regrow them to use freshly grown Mitsuba when you want to use them?

Mitsuba is perfect for Japanese dishes such as oyako-don and osuimono. The aroma of mitsuba is completely different without it, and just by adding it, you feel like your quality of life has gone up a notch.

Oh, and of course, you should buy the one with the roots attached. Otherwise you won't be able to regrow it.

Occasionally I see thick-rooted trifoliates for sale, but I still think those things grow faster.

③Komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach)

Are you throwing away the roots of the komatsuna as well?

And komatsuna is a great choice for those who have birds. It is also good for food. If you feed komatsuna from a young age, they will also become fond of the vegetable, so they won't be fond of it and will continue to eat more nutritious food.

Perfect for Chinese food!

(4) Daikon leaves

I'd eat a Daikon (Japanese radish leaf) if it was so delicious!

Yes, it can be raised.

Leave a good 3 inches or so on the lower part of the radish, and it will grow back to some extent when it is starved for soil.

Growth may be slow.

However, I recommend the leaves of the radish because they are delicious in a stir-fry or anything else. It is good for winter.

Something that can be played, but... not recommended.

Although you can reborn, there are two things that I've tried so far that make me honestly wonder if I shouldn't have done it....

(5) Chives

Chives, I eat them from time to time, and I can understand the painful desire to grow them in a regenerative way.

I was the same way.

But they attract so many bugs.

I cut off the ends of them around the summer to starve them in the soil, but when aphids were on the underside of them, I was very scared.....

Is the smell of leeks wrong?

Leeks are prone to flies and other insects, so I think the smell is unique to insects.

I thought it would be too much of a hassle to take out the bugs, and to be honest, too much of a hassle.

If you're growing them in the house with water only, you'll have little or no problem with bugs.

Reborn can be done in the house as long as you change the water once or twice.

I would recommend it inside the house, but not outside. (Of course, it grows faster in the soil itself.)

(6) Carrots

Carrots can also be regenerated, but, but only on the leaves.

The roots are what we usually eat. The roots don't grow back on their own, so the leafy parts of the plant grow.

It is true that carrots are pretty when they grow leaves, but you can't eat them just because they are pretty.

If you're making French-style rice, you may want to grow it as a plate accent.

So I personally don't recommend it.

May your home garden life be fruitful with the addition of regrowth!
