The desire to have fresh produce for your food is a dream of every home cook. But growing and maintaining plants can look scary. Plus the additional space required to keep them can scare you away from even buying them. However, there are plants and herbs which do not require a lot of maintenance and space and can be grown in your kitchen itself. These are super easy and quick to grow plus they will provide a splash of greenery to your kitchen.

Thus, with the advent of monsoons, why not buy a few kitchen plants and make your kitchen look aesthetic and rustic? So, here I have recommended 5 plants that can make your kitchen beautiful and your dishes flavorful. They are:

Mint

Known for its cooling effect, these are a great addition to your kitchen garden. Mint Plants are perennial plants that grow well in moist and well-drained soil. These are low-maintenance plants and can be grown indoors on kitchen counters or window panes. Mint requires shade to thrive well as it is not a very sun-loving plant. A mint plant will not only improve the look of your kitchen but you can also add it to your dishes to enhance their taste.

Apart from making your kitchen look green, these are a great addition to all Indian dishes, providing a flavorful taste to them. So why asking free dhaniya when you can grow it?

Chillies are an indispensable part of every Indian household. Growing your own chillies on the windowsill is fun and also saves money. These are perennial plants and will provide you with harvest throughout the year. Chillies are low-maintenance indoor plants which require good soil, a bit of water, and sunlight to thrive well.  These are surely a great addition to your kitchen counters or windowsills, as it is a small plant which looks cute in small spaces.
