Lacking energy?
So my tip will interest you:take advantage of the benefits of nasturtiums in the garden to protect your plants and in the kitchen to give you energy!
Pretty yellow-orange flowers, nasturtiums will pleasantly decorate your garden. They also have very interesting culinary virtues.
To avoid aphid invasions, plant nasturtiums! Place them next to the vegetable garden, fruit trees or rosebushes. Thus, your nasturtiums will be covered with aphids, but not the rest of your plantations! To be used without moderation…
They are rich in vitamin C and promote the assimilation of iron. They have a stimulating, digestive and antiseptic action.
Tasted in salads, you can choose to brighten up a green salad by placing nasturtium flowers on it just before serving, or mix nasturtium leaves, with a peppery taste, with a potato salad.
In infusion, you will be full of energy! Infuse a handful of leaves in a cup filled with boiling water for 10 minutes to enjoy its benefits. Drink twice a day.
