Food that is inedible or past its best can be wasted, but there are better alternatives, such as growing new plants from scraps. Different plants require distinct regrowing methods, and mistakes can happen. Guidance is provided to grow fresh food from scraps like strawberry tops and sprouted potatoes while avoiding common pitfalls. Strawberry tops can yield seeds when dried, while old potatoes can develop eye sprouts and remain edible yet may not be used. These methods can contribute to reducing food waste.
While the whole of a strawberry is edible, many people just want to enjoy the juicy berry. Yet it's easy to repurpose those tops.
Once the squeezed tops have dried, the seeds will easily fall away. After collecting, place them in a seed tray and wait for them to grow.
As time goes on, a potato will start to develop so-called eyes or sprouts. While an old potato will still be edible, many don't want.
With that in mind, I'm here to guide you through the best way to grow fresh food from various scraps, along with common pitfalls to avoid.
