Don’t Throw Away Damaged Tomatoes …They Have 4 Useful Uses That Will Surprise Everyone
Most people instinctively toss out spoiled tomatoes, unaware that they still have valuable uses. Instead of wasting them, try these clever and practical ways to make the most of rotten tomatoes.
1. Grow Tomato Plants from Spoiled Tomatoes
Instead of discarding overripe tomatoes, you can use them to grow new plants.
How to Do It:
- Slice the rotten tomatoes into thin pieces, ensuring the seeds remain intact.
- Fill a pot or container with loose soil and lay the tomato slices flat on the surface, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Cover them with a thin layer of soil (1-2 cm deep) and water lightly to keep the soil moist.
- Place the pot in a brightly lit area and continue watering regularly, but avoid overwatering to prevent rot.
- In 1-2 months, the seedlings will grow and eventually flower, producing fresh tomatoes for harvest.
2. Turn Rotten Tomatoes into Natural Fertilizer
Tomatoes, even when spoiled, are rich in nutrients that can nourish plants.
