When we are wondering what flowers to plant, it is good that they also decorate our home and are useful to us. For example, you can safely grow at home many herbs such as lavender, mint or rosemary, which you can use for culinary purposes, to flavor the premises, to decorate many cocktails, as well as for the prevention of many diseases.
In addition to standard herbs, there are many plants little known to most housewives. A typical example of this is the plant physalis. It is extremely beautiful and very useful.
Physalis belongs to the potato family, but in appearance does not resemble even a little of ordinary potatoes. It has beautiful leaves and forms delicate orange fruits. It is very rich in vitamin A and cryptoxamine, so it can be used to treat a number of diseases and in cooking. Keep in mind, however, that only its fruits are used because the leaves of the plant are poisonous.
The culinary use of physalis consists mainly in decorating cakes, pastries and creams, as well as for decorating fruit salads and cocktails. With their attractive appearance, physalis fruits bring exoticism to the design of desserts or drinks. Physalis has a fresh taste, which according to many resembles pineapple, but they are more valued not because of their taste, but because of the pleasant aroma.
Physalis fruits can be dried in a similar way as grapes and apricots and eaten alone. They can participate in the making of many jams, marmalades and jams as an addition to strawberries, raspberries, apples, pears, quinces and more. You can glaze the physalis in caramel or chocolate and decorate cakes or pastries with them. You can also use them in the preparation of jelly desserts.
Physalis is also very common in the decoration of cocktails, creams and jellies. They can also be placed on top, thus achieving a finished look of the drink or cream, or placed at the bottom of the cocktail or glass.
If you make tea or decoction of physalis, you will be able to improve your digestive system and help the kidneys function well. Physalis is also very useful for asthma and cold symptoms.
