Potted chicory hearts have high nutritional value, and one jin grown at home can sell for 80 yuan

Food safety and hygiene in today's society are really too unreliable. I believe many plant friends, just like Huahua, have found stale and unclean things in all kinds of fast-food boxed meals, and that feeling is really something you do not want to experience a second time. Just because of this, many people choose to grow some green vegetables on the balcony to ensure healthy ingredients.

However, two days ago Huahua noticed that a neighbor was growing a plant on the balcony that looked rather "strange." It looked a bit like a chicory heart, and also a bit like a magnolia root. After asking the neighbor, Huahua learned that this plant is called "chicory" root. Not only is it greatly beneficial to the human body, but its circulating price on the market is actually as high as nearly 80 yuan per jin. It really seems to belong to the "aristocracy" of vegetables.

The outer surface of chicory root is pale yellow, and its conical appearance resembles one unopened flower bud after another. If you plant a full pot of it, the scene is absolutely very pleasing to look at. Moreover, this plant vegetable, chicory root, is also fairly easy to care for, and you can see results without spending too much effort.

Chicory root likes light, so ample sunlight is a good condition for its growth. If plant friends want to grow it, they should try to place it on the balcony to receive the shining sunlight. After sufficient photosynthesis, chicory root may grow small blue flowers, which are very beautiful.

Chicory is different from other vegetables. It is not only cold-resistant but also drought-resistant, so whether in the cold of deep winter or the heat of midsummer, it can grow, and its vitality is extremely tenacious. If you want to grow a low-maintenance plant vegetable, then it is the best choice.

For the growing soil, try to choose leaf mold, because this kind of soil contains rich nutrient elements and can promote the growth rate of the root system. For fertilizing, it is best to use farmyard organic fertilizer. Using animal manure directly is also acceptable, but it is best to treat it first to prevent odors.

Chicory root is not only peculiar in appearance, but its effects are also beyond those of ordinary vegetables. It has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and has a good effect on the spleen and stomach. Not only its root, but even its stems and leaves can also be used medicinally. It seems that chicory really is a "treasure" from top to bottom. If you want to propagate chicory, one method is generally used, namely seed sowing propagation. This method is relatively convenient and fast, and chicory seeds can generally be bought online.

Planting a chicory is not only priceless in value but also has such effective benefits for the human body. It really is great. Huahua is tempted just looking at it, and cannot wait to hurry home and plant one so the whole family can taste it. After all, such a "good" vegetable is really rarely seen in life. Friends, hurry up and plant it!
