This afternoon after returning from my routine, I took the time to go to the garden which is not too far from my house. And actually there are not many plants that I have planted there. Only a few newly grown papaya trees are only about two meters high from the ground.
The photo of the papaya tree is at the very end. We are here to plant papaya not only for the fruit. But the male papaya trees that produce flowers and wide leaves are also one that we often use for side dishes. Have you ever done it? We often use papaya flowers and papaya leaves as raw vegetables, and it's actually quite good.It does taste a bit bitter. But papaya leaves contain many benefits. Especially if you have diabetes. Consuming papaya leaves can lower blood sugar level.
But if you know how to process papaya flowers and leaves. It doesn't taste bitter at all. You can mix some other spices to neutralize the bitterness of papaya flowers and leaves.
In the garden there are also some starfruit trees that grow well. And I took a picture of this starfruit flower. The color is very beautiful, a combination of red and purple. Usually only when the tree has flowered like this, There are only a few weeks left before it will bear abundant fruit.
We also often use starfruit to mix into cooking. For example, to mix into fish curry and others. S In addition, we also make star fruit into sour fruit. We pick the ripe fruit and dry it for a few days until it is dry, sprinkled with salt, it will last quite a long time. We use this fermented starfruit as a complementary ingredient in cooking spices. There are many types of dishes that can be mixed with fermented starfruit and it has a distinctive taste.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a nice weekend and I hope you have a great weekend. See you soon! ...
