Plants in the Rojak-Style Garden

Written by Mrs. Money

Few months back, there was an unknown "weed" thriving lushly on one of my garden patches, its leaves looked like an eggplant leaves, luckily my cousin was visiting me on time lest me from getting rid of this precious herbal plant.

My cousin told me how the young shoots of this physallis minima had helped her Malay friend to win a job in JKR by passing his medical test, in a fact that he was actually failing his first glucose tolerant test.


Physallis minima won't help to cure diabete but by drinking the tea made out of its shoots or leaves will lower ones' glucose level better than taking medicine, but the tea is really bitter!
