7 Houseplants You Can Eat

7 Houseplants You Can Eat


1 Small citrus

You don't need an orangerie like the one at Versailles to grow citrus indoors.

Some delicious varieties that can be grown indoors include Meyer lemon, kaffir lime, and calamondin oranges.

2 Pineapple

Take the pineapple: Rather than throwing out your pineapple waste, you can easily grow more pineapples instead.

The never-ending pinepaple is a gift that keeps on giving – people report having had their indoor pineapple plants for a decade or more.

3 Microgreens

Microgreens are the petite edible greens (salad greens, herbs, flowers, and other vegetables) that are harvested after the first true leaf stage.

4 Rosemary

You can use it in all the usual places, but also consider it in cocktails and desserts, where it adds its evergreen fragrance.

5 Nasturtium

Long before I knew how much I liked the taste of nasturtium blooms, I grew them indoors because I loved how the plants climb and adored how cheerful they were.

And then once I tasted them – both flowers and leaves – I loved how they were always there to add their bright color and uniquely peppery taste to a dish.

6 Tomato

Thankfully, with enough sun you can grow very tomato-y tomatoes in the convenience of your own home.

You can have a tomato plant delivered straight from the greenhouse by Bloomscape , or source plants locally and follow the how-to here

7 Chives

A pot of chives is just a happy-maker; they kind of look like tall grass, but then they bloom with a profusion of purple blossoms and they're just magical – and of course, tasty.

It's so nice to be able to snip off a few at a time, rather than buying a whole bunch – and those flowers!

They add a savory, spicy splash of color to all kinds of dishes, from salads and pasta to grain bowls and pizza.
