The edible flowers are blooming, and they taste like chicken? Bring me a basin quickly!

Hibiscus

Eating hibiscus flowers is nothing new, as it was recorded in our "Book of Songs". It is also the national flower of South Korea. No wonder there are so many Korean women's names containing the word "hibiscus".

Directions:

1. Hibiscus tofu soup

Pick blooming hibiscus flowers (pink or white are fine), soak them in water, wash them, remove the green flower stalks underneath, and add them to the tofu soup when it is halfway cooked. You can also beat some frangipani and finally add chopped green onions. The hibiscus flowers here are refreshing and delicious. Drinking a little in the summer can clear away heat and reduce internal heat.

2. Hibiscus Steamed Egg

If you love flowers, eat them! What Huahua wanted to make most after picking hibiscus was steamed eggs. Here, 2 eggs were used and stirred first, then 70ml of cold boiled water was added and stirred again. After steaming for 5 minutes, hibiscus petals were added and steamed on low heat for another 3-5 minutes and it was ready to serve! I couldn’t bear to eat it when it was on the table, so I quickly took pictures!

3. Stir-fried hibiscus

Both flower buds and already bloomed hibiscus can be stir-fried, but Huahua prefers flower buds, which have a more tender taste. I seem to have forgotten to pick off the green flower stalks here, but it’s okay. The flower buds are still tender and taste better than meat. Flower lovers must try it if you have the chance!

Maintenance method:

1. Cutting propagation

After explaining how to eat it, Huahua will also teach you how to grow it. Even in a high temperature of 40 degrees, it can survive as soon as it is inserted. First, cut a 15 cm long hibiscus branch grown that year, insert it on a foam board with 3-5 cm exposed underneath, place it in a bucket of water, and it will take about a week for roots to grow.

2. Daily maintenance

Hibiscus is not picky about soil and can be grown in ordinary garden soil, but it must have sufficient sunlight so that it can bloom more. You don’t have to worry about watering and fertilizing. Just water when the soil is dry. Add fertilizer whenever you want (no concentrated fertilizer needed). It’s worry-free and delicious. Go ahead and grow one now!

Chlorophytum comosum

Huahua has seen many flower lovers grow Chlorophytum comosum at home. Did you know that it is edible? It can grow again after pinching, and you can’t finish eating it in summer~

Directions:

1. Cold salad

Chlorophytum comosum is an indispensable cold dish in summer and tastes better than lettuce. Pick some leaves, you can also bring a little stems, blanch them in a pot of hot water for 1-2 minutes, scoop them out, let them cool, add garlic juice, chili powder, MSG, and salt, and a delicious cold dish is ready!

2. Stir-fry

Pick the young branches of the Chlorophytum comosum and wash them clean. Heat the pan with oil and sauté the chopped green onion, garlic and chili pepper. Pour the young leaves in and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add salt and soy sauce to season, and a dish of vegetables is ready. In the summer evening, a plate of green vegetables and a bowl of porridge are so pleasant.

Maintenance method:

1. Cutting propagation

Chlorophytum comosum is also very easy to propagate by cuttings, especially on rainy days. Just cut a branch and stick it in the soil, water it and keep it ventilated. You can grow a large pot of it at a time and you won’t be able to finish it in a whole summer.

2. Daily maintenance

Chlorophytum comosum likes light and moisture, so it needs to be watered frequently. However, the environment must be ventilated to prevent the roots from rotting. If you keep it indoors in a well-lit place, it will easily grow out of the pot. If you keep it outdoors, it can grow to more than 1 meter. Let's take a look at the ones our flower friends have grown.

Creeping sedge

A few days ago, Huahua was talking about the creeping grass, which grew wildly in a flower lover's home and occupied the entire staircase. I didn't expect that it can be eaten and has the effect of relieving heat and cooling down.

Directions:

1. Cold salad

If you want to make a cold dish, it is best to pinch the tenderest part of the branch, wash it with clean water, and blanch it in a pot of hot water for 1-2 minutes. Then take it out, add oyster sauce and MSG and mix it. I wonder if flower lovers have ever eaten it?

2. Omelette

Pinch the leaves of the creeping grass and chop them into pieces. Beat 3 eggs, add the chopped creeping grass into the egg liquid, and then add a little salt to season. Pour the hot oil into the hot pan and fry it into an omelet. Huahua often uses various vegetables to make omelets, which can be made for breakfast, dinner, and dinner!

3. Cooking Soup

I heard that creeping grass has medicinal uses, but it is not suitable for people with cold body and weak spleen. People who are prone to getting angry are best to use it to cook some light soup. Add some lean meat and you can make a bowl of delicious health-preserving soup. Everyone is greedy, right?

Maintenance method:

1. Cutting propagation

Creeping grass grows wildly easily and can sometimes be found on the roadside. We can dig a few and plant them, or we can pinch off branches and stick them in the soil, avoiding direct sunlight and watering them to allow them to take root.

2. Daily maintenance

The creeping grass has no requirements for the growing environment, it just needs to be kept simple. Many flower lovers are too diligent and always water it, which can easily cause it to be rotten. If it grows too tall and looks like a ferocious beast, it is best to trim it, otherwise it will become uglier and uglier.

Queen of Flowers

The queen flower, also known as the sword flower, belongs to the cactus family. It looks like a pitaya and is very common in the southern region. It can be found almost in front of and behind houses. It has large flowers, so it is called the queen flower.

Directions:

1. Make soup

Flower lovers in Guangdong and Guangxi should be very familiar with the Queen of the Night. After the flowers bloom in summer, they can be picked and dried for easy storage. Add a little bit every time you make soup. It is nutritious and delicious.

Maintenance method:

1. Cutting

Like other cacti, the Queen of the Night can be divided (spring is best) or propagated by cuttings. When propagating by cuttings, the branches should not be shorter than 15 cm. Insert them in the soil, water them thoroughly, keep them ventilated, and then wait for them to take root.

2. Daily maintenance

The Queen of Flowers does not require any special care. It can live well as long as it is not watered too much. Flower lovers who like to maintain their health must have a pot of it at home!
