Kitchen too greasy in summer? Grow this plant to absorb cooking fumes, and pinch off a handful for cooking too
The temperature has been so high lately that Huahua is 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 keep the kitchen cleaner, but you can also grab a handful anytime to cook with, bringing a fresh and refreshing taste to summer!
Grow a pot of amaranth in the kitchen, best enjoyed cold-tossed in summer!
The weather has been hot lately. Do you all feel like you have no appetite? Then why not grow a pot of amaranth in the kitchen? When you have no appetite, just grab a handful, wash it, and toss it cold - it's refreshing and delicious, instantly opening up 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. In about 5-7 days, little sprouts will emerge.
2. If you want the amaranth to grow quickly, you must ensure sufficient sunlight. Be careful not to water too much - let the potting soil be slightly dry so the amaranth can grow bigger and bigger. It only takes about 1 month for the planted amaranth to grow up! Such a big pot of red and green is just so refreshing in the kitchen!
3. If you really can't resist, then pick a handful of amaranth, wash it clean, and whether you stir-fry it plainly or add some scallions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings for a cold-tossed dish, the flavor is super delicious - you'll want more after every meal!
Grow a pot of scallions in the kitchen, pinch a handful for fresh and delicious flavor!
The scallions we usually buy from the market basically all have roots. Why not 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 scallions bought from the market and cut them about 4cm up from the roots, setting the tops aside.
2. Prepare loose, breathable soil, plant the scallion heads with roots into it, water thoroughly once, and place it on the balcony. Summer weather is hot, so it basically only takes 1 week to sprout, and about half a month to grow up!
3. Once the scallions are mature, you can directly pick a handful and add them when making soup or cooking, or pinch off some scallion leaves to make scrambled eggs. The 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 bit longer, dig the scallions out of the pot, wash them clean and cook with them directly - that's great too!
Grow a pot of mint in the kitchen, clear heat and relieve summer heat by brewing it in water!
The weather has been so hot lately that some places have already reached 40°C. To prevent heatstroke, you can choose to grow a pot of mint in the kitchen. Not only will you see green everywhere when 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 to sunbathe in the sun to prevent the leaves from turning yellow.
2. Be sure to remember to water more. As long as there's no water accumulation in the pot, water about once a day, or 1-2 times a day, so the mint doesn't get dry tips from lack of water.
3. When you want to brew some to drink, just pick a few leaves, drop them in clean water, or brew them together with tea leaves. Wait about 10 minutes, and you can enjoy 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 kitchen novice - what to do? Why not 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 - the survival rate is also very high.
2. Normally, let the thyme get plenty of sun. It's fairly drought-tolerant, so 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're grilling steak or pork, or stir-frying vegetables, you can add a few thyme leaves to remove odors and enhance freshness - the flavor is wonderful!
Grow a pot of cilantro in the kitchen, indispensable for making soup!
When it comes to the most divisive seasoning, it's definitely cilantro! For those who like it, cilantro tastes super delicious. For flower lovers who don't like it, the taste is truly unbearable!
How to plant?
1. If you want to grow cilantro in the kitchen, you can buy some cilantro seeds and sow them, or use the cilantro roots bought from the market to plant. This way, the survival rate will be slightly higher.
2. Place the planted cilantro in a bright spot on the kitchen windowsill. Be careful not to let the potting soil dry out. It only takes about half a month before you can see the cilantro grow and fill the pot!
3. Pinch off a few stems of mature cilantro and drop them directly into soup when cooking, or chop them up for cold dishes in summer - absolutely delicious!
