Why is rice cooking water beneficial?
Far from being a simple waste to throw away, rice cooking water is a valuable source of essential nutrients for plants. When boiling rice, the starch and minerals it contains spread into the water, creating a natural fertilizer rich in beneficial elements:
- Folic acid: stimulates root growth.
- Potassium: strengthens plant resistance to disease.
- zinc and iron: promote photosynthesis and flowering.
- Magnesium and B vitamins: essential for the development of stems and leaves.
