I have eaten a seed per day raw years back when I was suffering from arthritis. Wa-la it was gone in a week and never came back since. It was 17 years ago. Now i have to gather a jar probably since I realized the amazing benefits this “taken for granted by pinoys” plant can give your body.

Two things I HEARD about malunggay:
1. Malunggay absorbs metals readily than other plants (e.g. lead). My brother in law (UP Dept of Bio) conducted a study on this and advised that I ask vendors where the malunggay I buy comes from since he knew I love malunggay. He says I should avoid those from Metro Manila. He tested samples in Bulacan located near a battery manufacturing plant, and said they were toxic.
2. They don’t eat malunggay in East Timor. They are treated as ornamentals.

one sunday morning a few months back, we bought three little ducklings for my nephews to play with, but knowing that the kids would not be able to take care of the creatures, we brought them back home in the afternoon and promptly put them in a cage. in a few days, two of the ducklings had died. we decided to let the the duckling out of the cage and on to the backyard garden. it proceeded to eat everything in sight..scallions, kailan, mint, basil, camote, etc. we gave it kitchen scraps too, and it grew fast and fat, definitely 100% organic and free-range. however, it had eaten up almost practically all of the kitchen garden.

last week, we finally had it in a delicious pato tim. my son says it tasted so good because of all the herbs it had been eating.

and no, it was never a pet and we never gave it a name….it was always “pato tim-to-be”. :-)
