Oh those are beautiful. They also make nice blankets there. I have some of them here and in my parents’ house.
Here it is the pilinut that is the heart of the products that Bicol boasts of. Also, the abaca products, of which bags of their kind has been seen in some J. Lo’s movies.
And the pilinut, they can make so many kind of candies, pilinut brittle, mazapan, nougat , and a lot more. SO delicious, even just the simply roasted pilinuts. And they are mor cheaper than the kasuy.

You are so lucky to be living in a place where strawberries are abundant. How much do they sell it there? Here it is expensive because it is not indigenous here in our province.
Indeed, berries all have their anti-oxidant aspect as I have read. Not only is strawberry delicious but so nutritious.
I like putting it in milk and eat it that way. You see, i don’t like milk. But when it is with strawberry or strawberry flavored I do drink milk.

So, living in Trinidad means a guarantee of 100 years life without any heart problems and Cancer. I like this fruit. But, this is not grown in India as per my knowledge. We only import these fruits. There are some fruit shops where I have noticed them.The price is not abnormal. They give for a reasonable price. As you suggested I have not seen any green cap over them at the tip. This means they are not fresh but only imported from another country through proper packing.
This is also my favorite fruit but next to Mango. I like Strawberry juice very much. This will be my first choice of drink everywhere. As far as the ice-cream is concerned I give it is my second choice as the first being the Chocolate.

Hmm, that is very good to know! Though, I am not familiar with those kinds of weeds.
Maybe I should take note of the weeds in my parents’ house because they have a very wide lawn at the front and at the back of the house.
Actully, there are a lot of plants we don’t know that exists just in our backyard. Had we known their health benefits, we will surely get them to eat.

Some shrubs and weeds possess a great medicinal value which we do not know and understand. It is only the herbologists who identify them and put them into use. Without knowing anything about these weeds it is not good to allow them to grow. There are some weeds which are poisonous also. Our children will be playing near them and may come into contact with these poisonous weeds, which sometimes may prove fatal.
If we find such weeds and shrubs in the backyard of the house we should contact a herbologist immediately and show them the weeds and seek his opinion as to the danger involved in allowing them to grow. Then we should act accordingly. Sometimes, they become centers for snakes, scorpions to live in. In such cases, we should immediately burn them.
No doubt, they may be having some benefits only after processing. We can not process them. We can not eat and chew them unless there is no threat to our life.
I did some study on these plants, shrubs, and weeds when I was visiting Srisailam which is having a dense forest covering hundreds of kilometers. I contacted many people and noted down the points relating to many of them. But, all of them are useful only after they are processed and can not be used raw. What is the use of it?
There is a shrub/small plant known by the name Gymnema Sylvestre which is called in the local language as PODAPATRI. The leaves are useful in lowering the sugar level. Once a herbalist offered me 2 leaves and requested me to taste some sugar. Amazing…I could not feel the sweetness of sugar at all. I chewed it like sand particles. Later he informed me that it is used in most of the Dia products.
As it was quite interesting to know about it, I collected some 6 leaves from him and took to the office. During lunch hour while we were on some casual discussion I offered 2 leaves to my colleague and asked her to chew and tell the taste of sugar. She chewed them and said she is getting giddiness. I was shocked. She was not having sugar. The dosage of 2 leaves was more for her. She got giddiness. Now after some time she seated herself in the chair itself and fell asleep for an hour. Was I not wrong to offer her without knowing anything?Better it is always to clean them out of the house.
