RE: Sauteed Papaya Flowers Are Rich In Benefits

...it can lower sugar levels for those of you with diabetes...

That looks delicious, and healthy for diabetics! I love papaya. My grandfather had an amazing garden here in 🇳🇿 Aotearoa / New Zealand, and he would grow all kinds of things that don't usually grow in our climate. I don't recall if papaya was one of them, but he did grow bananas and pawpaw, both of which don't usually do well here. I will definitely be looking out for more papaya in the supermarkets here though, now that I know it is so good for diabetics. I don't think we would be able to get the papaya flowers here though, as it isn't a commonly grown plant here. However, our local Asian food market may well have some, as an imported tinned or bottled product. They have all sorts of nice exotic foods like that. I will have to have a look next time I go there.

I see that you leave the legs and tails on your shrimps. I always take them off first, as I find them to be rather like eating plastic! Maybe the shrimps here are different to the ones that you get in 🇮🇩 Indonesia.

Wow, I am amazed by your grandfather's persistence, even though in a different climate he is willing to try. I think you should try this papaya flower, healthy for consumption it tastes a little bitter but is very tasty. The shrimp that I use are small shrimp and the tail is soft too.

Thank you for supporting me, and visit my blog,

"The shrimp that I use are small shrimp and the tail is soft too."

Ahh yes, that makes sense then. Speaking of my grandfather, he was a real "green thumb" amateur horticulturist. We also had several trees in our garden that he had grafted, which grew several different varieties of the same fruit on them, such as red and green apples on the same tree. He also did this with grape vines, too, making different types of grape grow together on the same vine. Unfortunately, I didn't inherit his "green thumb", haha.

Wow he is really amazing, I am very happy with a plant lover like him.

I think I need to learn a lot about cultivating plants with him.
Convey my introductory greetings to him

Unfortunately, my grandfather died many years ago, when I was young. Now I am old, like he was back then.

Is that true, he must be someone special to you

Look what I just bought. I had to go out anyway today, for my regular diabetes blood test, which is something that I really do not enjoy. My wife always gets me a nice treat afterwards, and this time I decided on a papaya! So we went to our local Asian food market and bought this one. While I was there, I asked them about the papaya flowers, and they said that unfortunately they do not stock them, not even as tinned or bottled products. That's a pity.

Wow you are amazing, I am very impressed with you and your wife, you guys are really sure to do it. My father also has high blood sugar, he often eats papaya.

Hopefully your blood sugar is stable and always given health.

"Hopefully your blood sugar is stable and always given health."

Thank you for your kind words. My blood sugar levels are definitely not "stable" right now. I have been very naughty lately. But since we started this new HDPS Community, I am starting to do the right thing again. My wife always insists that I take my pills and insulin, but apart from that, I had not been taking care of the diabetes very well until recently.
