Tumeric.....Daun Kunyit

If we are overseas..delicacy using serai, kunyit etc..etc..are something we treasure. Mainly bcos its not readily available..the raw stuffs that is. So..if ada peluang balik Msia barang2 ni lah yg kita pack bw..ber kg2...Simpan dlm freezer.In Saudi where its got too hot..nothing seems to grow. tanam serai pun dah mati kat keluar tu sbb panas...Will try tanam dlm pasu..but if merebak tu yg tak sure how to handle...beli pun Sr1 for a bulb..

So.few months..yes..few months!! back..I bought a couple of fresh tumeric from the Oriental store..feel greedy so beli banyak juga..Use for cooking tak sebanyak mana pun so..some I freeze and about 2 bulbs..cucuk je dlm tanah of my indoor plant basket. Well..did not pay much attenionuntil this morning I spied some shoots coming out long..wah..tumbuh juga..cepat2 ambik air and siram...

Tumeric or kunyit is good to generate blood or heal wounds...So..after delivery for 3 days..I'm not sure why just 3 my arwah mother ask to do..take ibu kunyit the size of your thumb..or bigger..grinds or parut to take its juice..mmg sikit abt 2 tbsp je..but good enough and drink it. It taste better actually than ginger juice where it'll burn your tongue and throat. tak boleh makan lebih as its gonna dry you up..Huh..?? Old wife tales but something not to ignore. Modern medicines has also found that tumeric is good for cancer prevention?? Its now being used as mixed in many medicines...
