I love green onions ~ they add such a nice punch of flavor and make a great garnish, don’t they??
Now a friend had told me that once you’ve used them, you can pop the ends back in the water. Strange, I thought… but what would it hurt to try?!?
So off to the grocery store I went, to buy a little bunch of green onions…
It just so happened to be taco night, so choppity-chop-chop-chop I went…
Now down to the little stubbies, I just popped them in a jar of water. Yes, you could use a little glass too, but you know how wildly in love with mason jars I am! 
After about a week or so, look what had happened. Whoa!
Several days went by, and they just kept on growing!
So every time I was in need of some green onions ~ to add to my Easy Salsa Recipe or garnish my Crockpot Apricot Chicken with, I simply grabbed from my jar and started chopping!
Then the weirdest thing happened… they started growing AGAIN! I think I grew about 3 rounds of green onions off one 50 cent bundle. Not bad!
After the 3rd time, they seemed to be losing a bit of flavor, so I bought another bundle, and went at it again!
Now how’s that for a fun kitchen tip?!?

I did this too but first only because they were wilted from being in the fridge. Wen they rooted, I stuck them in a container with soil. I now have three containers of green onions outside in my garden.. They multiply like crazy… And some of them are really tall too!! I had to change the water a couple times I think, kept them in the kitchen window until ready to transplant…
I have green onions in a jar on my kitchen window seal right now. Just like yours. Pretty nifty
I used to do this, but then I decided to plan them outside in a dirt patch outside my kitchen and they have been growing like crazy and never lose flavor! Love that I can cut off what I need whenever I need it!
This is so cool! I do the same thing with celery!
Wow ~ I didn’t realize it worked with celery, too! I’ll definitely give that a try as well. Thanks for sharing, Marie!
Keeping cilantro in water helps keep it fresh
