is this another Coca cola? Nope..this is actually one of the many great herbs that has many great benefits. Another name is “Centella asiatica” or called in malay “daun pegaga”.
Anyway, u can find their health benefits on the net. But mainly, this leaves are associated with cleverness and longevity. I read somewhere that there was an elephant in India that ate this herbs and it lived for a very long time.
In the market there is juices made of this but the best is to eat it raw and fresh. There are many different kinds. If u go to mustafa, u can see the leaves are thicker and the taste and smell of the plant is different. But at tekka market (rear end @ chinese vege stall where they sell thai vege) there is a different one, from malaysia and thailand. That one is more from the kampung version. But u need to clean that up urself cause it come in roots but the Mustafa one is all cleaned up but a bit harder to chew than the “kampung” one.
If u find it hard to swallow, just wash thoroughly and blend it with some fruits and drink it. Every morning, drink it, insya-Allah ur intelligence level will soar. I will try. My kids and myself will be the guinea pig…hehaha!
