Reusing rice washing water for the beauty and fertility of our Plants

Rice is the main food for me, because the majority of Indonesians use rice as the main food, there is even a term that we use "it's not called eating if you don't eat rice". Even though we eat a lot of food, that's us, Indonesia. and because rice is our main food, there are many things that are useful from rice, one of which is rice washing water before cooking.

1. Reusing Rice Washing Water For Plants
Rice washing water for plants is useful as a good organic fertilizer for the photosynthesis process of plants so that it stimulates plant shoots to thrive. People usually use this rice washing water as a mixture to make organic fertilizer or we usually call it compost, but for us personally we collect this rice washing water for one week until it smells a little more rotten, but not because of the smell, we mean collecting this rice washing water for one week so that there is a lot of rice washing water and we can use it to water the plants as a natural fertilizer for the plants in the garden next to our house. and we don't mix this rice wash with other ingredients. And you can see for yourself the results of our plants by using this rice washing water regularly.

3. The benefits of rice washing water for hair.
Rice washing water is not only good for face and skin and plants but also good for hair. Use rice washing water for hair 3 to 4 times a week on a regular basis in the long run your hair will be rid of dandruff and be able to reduce gray hair. I can't show photo documentation in this utility because I can't show my hair, my husband also doesn't want to use rice washing water for his hair because he's not used to it. I use rice washing water for my hair half an hour before washing my hair and I do it in the morning or evening, of course, adjusting the time when I'm going to cook rice.
