Okinawan Spinach from my Garden!


Okinawan Spinach, also known as Gynura crepioides, is unusual not only in that it has fancier color, it also is the variety grown for medicinal purposes. This type produces way more Proanthocyanidin than any other variety. It is the Proanthocyanidin content which is currently being investigated for its health benefits.

Chaya Plant Cnidoscolus chayamansa

Chaya is a  good source of protein, vitamins (A and C), minerals (calcium, iron and phosphorus), niacin, riboflavin and thiamine. 

 However, raw chaya leaves are toxic as they contain a glucoside that can release toxic cyanide. Cooking for 15 minutes is essential prior to consumption to inactivate the toxic components
