The most popular vegetable in our diet can become not only a great basis for spectacular dishes, but also serve a purpose at the dacha.

The fact is that the peel contains a considerable amount of useful chemical elements.

Therefore, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and scientist agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh does not recommend throwing away peelings.

What can be done with them?

"Treat" currants

Many people know that the berry crop will literally "overwhelm" you with its harvest after a treat in the form of potato peels. Therefore, you should not neglect this simple method if you like tasty, sweet and large currant berries.

The peelings are simply buried near the bushes.

For vegetables

But not only currants will be "happy" with potato peelings. Zucchini, cucumbers and pumpkin will also be "grateful" for such feeding. The product can be used in different forms.

Some dry the peel and turn it into powder, while others prepare decoctions and infusions.

However, it is definitely not worth feeding nightshades in this way.
