Amazingly, growing green onions with simply a towel and water offers a high yield

Growing green onions from scratch may seem a difficult task, but in reality it is possible to achieve a high yield by simply using a paper towel and water. This amazing and inexpensive method allows anyone to enjoy delicious fresh green onions at home, without needing a garden or specialized equipment.

Materials required:

  • Paper towels
  • Onions with green stems
  • A shallow container
  • Water

Steps to follow:

  1. First cut the onions leaving about 2-3 centimetres of the green stem intact. It is important not to cut the roots.
  2. Fill the shallow container with water at a depth sufficient to immerse the roots of the onions.
  3. Place the cut onions on the paper towel, ensuring that the roots are in contact with the water.
  4. Change the water every day to avoid stagnation and make sure the roots remain hydrated.
  5. Place the container in a sunny place, preferably near a window, to allow the onions to receive enough light.
  6. After a few days you will see green shoots grow from onions. You can then harvest the green onions to use in your favorite dishes.

Additional advice:

  • You can reuse onions for several crops by replanting them in soil after cutting the green stems.
  • Be careful not to let the roots of onions dry, as this may affect shoot growth.
  • Green onions cultivated in this way have a fresh and intense taste, perfect for adding flavor to your dishes.

With this simple but effective method, you can enjoy the green onion cultivation at home all year round, using simply a paper towel and water. Try this technique and find out how rewarding it is to grow your own fresh herbs.
