12. Beets

You can’t regrow an entire beet, but the leafy tops will sprout easily from the root end. Slice off about an inch from the top and place it in a dish of water, cut side down. Keep it in a bright spot and change the water every few days. Lush red and green leaves will appear in about a week. These beet greens are rich in vitamins and great for sautés or salads. It’s a useful way to use a part that’s often discarded.
