RE: NURTURING NATURE IN MY GARDEN LOH #180

in Ladies of Hive8 months ago

Oh! Paw-paw is called papaya in my country. They are very easy to grow and not much maintenance too. Your leafy greens are healthy. I haven't seen them before though. Specially the bitter leaf, I had to do a close-up look to identify it but never seen them before as well.
Are they really bitter that's why they're called bitter leaf? So how do you cook them?
Just curious.
I had fun reading, I guess your mom did imparted something to you even if at a young age you don't understand why is tending her own garden even if she can buy them in the market. Well, nothing beats our own produce.
Best of luck in the challenge.

Sort:  

It is very bitter but healthy, it is used for making soup and also for curing health issues like when someone is hypertensive in a local way, it is useful for herbal and when using it for cook you need to get rid of the juice because it is very bitter.

You will squeeze the juice out and wash the leaves with salt so that your soup will not be bitter but if you are using it as herbal you can eat it raw after washing or you can drink the juice.

Thank you for your support dear

Oh I see, I think we have a similar plant like that with the bitter taste. I think I can't handle so much bitterness.🤭🤭
Thanks for sharing dear and take care.
