Kitchen too greasy in summer? Grow a pot of oil-absorbing plants and you can cook with them too

It's been so hot lately that Huahua is simply too hot to even think about cooking and eating! But Mom gave Huahua a great idea, which is to grow a few pots of plants in the kitchen. Not only can they absorb cooking fumes and make the kitchen cleaner, but you can also grab a handful anytime to cook with, giving summer a fresh and refreshing flavor!

Grow a pot of amaranth in the kitchen, best eaten cold-tossed in summer!

The weather has been hot lately. Do you all feel like you have no appetite? Then you might as well grow a pot of amaranth in the kitchen. When you have no appetite, just grab a handful, wash it, and toss it cold - refreshing and delicious, instantly whetting your appetite!

How to plant?

1. First prepare a pot of loose, breathable nutrient soil and water it thoroughly until water flows out from the bottom of the pot. Then scatter the bought amaranth seeds directly on the surface of the soil, and finally cover with a thin layer of soil. Little sprouts will emerge in about 5-7 days.

2. If you want the amaranth to grow quickly, you must ensure sufficient light. Be careful not to water too much - let the potting soil be a little dry so the amaranth can grow bigger and bigger. It takes only about 1 month for the planted amaranth to grow up! Such a big pot of red and green is simply so refreshing in the kitchen!

3. If you really can't resist, then pick a handful of amaranth, wash it, and whether you stir-fry it plainly or add scallions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings to make a cold-tossed dish, the taste is super fresh and delicious - after eating this meal, you'll want it again for the next!

Grow a pot of scallions in the kitchen, pinch a handful for fresh and delicious flavor!

The scallions we usually buy at the market basically still have their roots. We might as well grow a pot at home. Not only does it freshen the air, but adding a handful when cooking makes the flavor excellent too!

How to plant?

1. Take the large scallions bought from the market and cut them about 4cm up from the roots, setting them aside for use.

2. Prepare loose, breathable soil, plant the scallion heads with roots, water thoroughly once, and place them on the balcony. Summer weather is hot, so basically it takes only 1 week to sprout, and in half a month they will basically have grown up!

3. Once the small scallions have matured, you can directly pick a handful and add them when making soup or cooking, or pinch off a few scallion leaves to make scrambled eggs. The small scallions you grow yourself on the balcony are natural and healthy, and taste wonderful!

4. If you don't want to eat the scallion leaves, you can also wait a little longer, dig the scallions out of the pot, wash them directly and cook with them - also excellent!

Grow a pot of mint in the kitchen, clear heat and relieve summer heat by steeping it in water!

The weather has been so hot lately that some places have already reached 40°C. To prevent heatstroke, everyone can choose to grow a pot of mint in the kitchen. Not only is it full of green while cooking, but it can also clear heat and relieve summer heat!

How to care for it?

1. If you grow a pot of mint in the kitchen, remember to place the mint in a well-ventilated spot near the kitchen windowsill. Every 1 week, take it out into the sun to sunbathe, to prevent the leaves from turning yellow.

2. Be sure to remember to water more. On the premise that there is no water accumulation in the pot, water about once a day, or 1-2 times a day, and don't let the mint dry out at the tips from lack of water.

3. When you want to steep some to drink, just pick a few leaves, drop them into clean water, or steep them together with tea leaves. After about 10 minutes, you can drink refreshing mint tea!

Grow a pot of thyme in the kitchen, fragrant for cooking and stewing meat!

Usually you want to cook a meal at home, but you're a beginner in the kitchen - what to do? You might as well grow a pot of thyme in the kitchen. With thyme's help, your cooking skills will reach the next level!

How to care for it?

1. Prepare loose, breathable soil and scatter the bought thyme seeds directly into it. In about 5 days, the thyme will sprout. You can also directly pinch off a branch for cuttings, and the survival rate is also very high.

2. Usually you can let the thyme get more sun. It is relatively drought-tolerant, so normally water only after the potting soil has completely dried out. Don't let water accumulation cause root rot.

3. Thyme leaves can be used as a seasoning. Whether you are grilling steak or pork, or stir-frying green vegetables, you can add a few thyme leaves to remove odor and enhance freshness - the taste is wonderful!

Grow a pot of cilantro in the kitchen, indispensable for making soup!

When it comes to the most divisive seasoning, it must be cilantro! For people who like it, the taste of cilantro is super delicious, while for flower lovers who don't like it, the taste is truly unbearable no matter what!

How to plant?

1. If you want to grow cilantro in the kitchen, you can choose to buy some cilantro seeds and sow them, or use the cilantro roots bought from the market to plant, which will give a slightly higher survival rate.

2. Place the planted cilantro in a bright spot on the kitchen windowsill, and be careful not to let the potting soil dry out. In only about half a month, you will see the cilantro grow and fill the pot!

3. Pinch off a few stalks of mature cilantro and drop them directly into the soup when cooking, or chop them up for cold dishes in summer - delicious!
