On this edition of Homesteading Basics, I’m going to show you a really simple tip for getting a whole lot more out of an onion than you’re getting right now.You know, who doesn’t love onions? I cook with onions, and we all know that when you’re getting ready to chop your onion, you cut the ends off. You cut off the top, and you cut off the back end. Now, on that back end where the roots are, you’ve got just a little bit of a scab. Here’s the tip: You can actually plant this, and it will grow again. You take the scab of the onion, put it in some dirt, and just leave it there. I’ve been doing this for the past couple of weeks. Look, you can see that some have already sprouted. Now, this is not going to make a whole new onion bulb, but rather some beautiful shallots. You can chop them up and put them into soups and salads. They have that nice onion taste. Another really great thing about this is that they’ll become onion plants that sprout those big, beautiful onion flowers. It’s just a beautiful, decorative flower and showcase. This is a green that’s going to grow all through the winter. The time to do this is going to be now. It’s moist, and we’re in a cool season. That’s when onions like to grow.There’s the tip for you. You’ll be able to get way more out of that onion than you first thought. This is Marjory Wildcraft. We have a whole bunch of other Homesteading Basics episodes showing you how to have more home-grown food on your dinner table. We’ll catch you on the next one.
