Immune booster I got these moringa seeds from the market. I bought them to plant but the lovely woman who sold them to me told me that people eat them. I was surprised but thought I would give them a try. What an amazing mixture of flavorful sensations. Bitter to start with then an extreme sweetness after which everything you eat has its flavour enhanced. What a surprise! I have shared with you below some of the benefits of eating moringa seeds an extremely nutrient dense food which can be eaten raw, steamed, boiled or roasted rich in vitamins, calcium and essential amino acids. I ate mine raw. 10 health benefits of moringa seeds and leafs: 1. Improves Sleep By steeping moringa leaves in hot water for 15 minutes and drinking before you sleep to relax. It helps you slip into slumber at night, and will leave you energised for the next day. 2. High in Fiber Help in moving food along your digestive system. 3.

Anybody have branching pawpaw in their backyards? Most of the pawpaws we grow here only fruit from a single trunk. If you want to grow a pawapw tree with multiple trunks when the young tree gets above head height you break the head of the tree off and it will begin to branch. That way your one pawpaw tree will produce more fruit for you to eat. @backyardgarden_portmoresby @agroecology2020 @agroecology_fund @agroforestpacific @agroecologyau @hungry_earth_agroecology 🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭 #agrobiodiverisity #agroecology #backyardgardening #organicbeauty #organicfarming #vgang #balance #healthylifestyle #veganfortheplanet #veganforanimals #farmlifebestlife #papaya #pawpaw #papayatree (at Markham Valley, Lae, Morobe Province.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9xzOT1BC2E/?igshid=1wn00ixb7akyf

Kumu is the general name used in Papua New Guinea for greens. This particular kumu is called Spider kumu by my family but it is actually an Aibika or commonly known in Melanesia as Island Cabbage. This particular Aibika is high in iron and is an evergreen so it produces greens for the family all year round. You can plant it as a hedge plant so that you can harvest from it all year round and produce nourishment for your family. 🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🌶🥬🥬 #vgang #plantbaseddiet #VisitPNG #vibrant #evergreen #sustainability #foodsecurity #foodsovreignty #slowfood #terramadre #nourshing #backyardgardening #feedyourself #islandlife #healthypng #healthypacific #islandfoodrev #youarewhatyoueat (at Markham Valley, Lae, Morobe Province.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9n3GBOhYJy/?igshid=1fs76k2ygjy1u

This is a type of custard apple, called the Golden Sugar Apple. I have no idea how it ended up on our farm but I read that Fruit bats/ flying foxes can spread them. A very nice tasting fruit that is not too sweet. Saving these seeds and going to be getting them into the poly bags ready for planting in December. ❤❤❤ (at Markham Valley, Lae, Morobe Province.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9jdpnOhSX2/?igshid=rsvvavhds0zl

We finally harvested the Jack Fruit to collect the seeds and multiply out on the farm. Hope you enjoy checking out what the Jack Fruit looks like on the inside. I must say when I got home last night that I could smell the Jack Fruit walking up the stairs to the house. It has a very sweet pungent smell, intoxicating infact. We got about 50 seeds out of it. Once they are in poly bags I'll share with you their growth. Have a great evening everyone ❤❤❤ #homegrown #homegrownfood #VisitPNG #pacificgardens #pnggargens #vgang #vegan #veganism #healthypng #healthypacific #islandfoodrev #youarewhatyoueat #tropicalfruits #papuanewguinea #pacific #yourhealthisyourwealth #jackfruit (at Markham Valley, Lae, Morobe Province.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9bR8HLBXwd/?igshid=11s7b06swax77
