Experienced housewives do not waste anything in the house and absolutely everything is put to use. They even find a use for the water in which the pasta was cooked.

Let's figure out why experienced housewives collect water from pasta and what benefits can be derived from it, instead of pouring it down the drain as household waste.

It's all very simple, but not many people know about the beneficial properties of pasta water.

It cannot be said that spaghetti, noodles and vermicelli are healthy. Some even call these foods glue for the stomach, but that is not the point now.

When cooking, some amount of starch gets into it, which is often used as fertilizer for cultivated plants, including indoor ones. To feed flowers and other decorative plants, it is enough to pour the water after cooking pasta into a suitable container and let it cool.

After this, you can water the flowers in the pots.

Important! This method has one detail that cannot be ignored. If you plan to feed flowers this way, you should not add salt, which is harmful to the soil and root system.

At home, this same water can be used to clean kitchen utensils and pans from various contaminants.

The water is simply poured into the container that needs to be cleaned, and after it has cooled, the stains are washed away.
