In ancient Egypt, kitchens were an integral part of every household. Some ancient Egyptian kitchens featured a built-in indoor carnivorous plant garden with Venus flytraps and pitcher plants. These plants were not only admired for their beauty but also served a functional purpose. The Venus flytraps and pitcher plants helped control the insect population, ensuring that the food prepared in the kitchen remained free from pests. The Egyptians believed that the presence of these plants brought good luck and protection to the household. They considered it a symbol of prosperity and abundance.
