My wife of 41 years is Chinese Filipino so I have grown many Asian veggies that I never heard of until I met her.
@Emeraldwitch303 жыл бұрын
I have to say my introduction to Asian veggies was a neighbor who had brought home a Korean bride. She was the nicest lady about teaching us her veggies and how to make kimchee. And then my one sister in law married a very nice half Japanese man who shared his mom with us. She likes to tell people she's "Full on Japanese! " and ive learned even more. Being able to now find these lively and totally delicious veggies here in the US is fantastic. The only veg I cant find that was a favorite and I've only had a few times is water spinach. But I know why. If it got loose in the southern waterways it could be very invasive. I did find a couple seed places have it and im up north so I could get it but its banned in many states.

I grew the Chinese Python Snake Bean -- it was fun to see them grow - and they grow VERY QUICKLY! You can literally see the difference in a day or two's growth. Incredible! BUT you want to eat them when they are small -- when they are large, they are very fibrous and you spend half of your time taking the fibers out of your mouth. It's like eating a large mouthful of very tough, stringy celery. You can't chew them up, so they end up as just a big ball of fibers in your mouth. -- The seeds are rather large and there are several in each bean - when you cut the bean pod into pieces for cooking, you'll see that it resembles a loofa. It's a very interesting plant. I don't know if I'll grow it again next year, but once you buy 1 packet of seeds, you'll never need to buy another one because you'll have lots of seeds from just one plant.

Wow thanks for the honest experienced review. Appreciated because I already have an edible gourd called Cucuzza /Gagootz. I love it and even though it needs to be eaten small to taste best it never gets stringy like my luffas, but its fat and not as long as these on the video. You saved me a year of growing this one instead of my personal favorites. Best of wishes to your gardening!

@@omfug7148 thank you for your advice. At least the bitter outside doesn't seem to bother the chickens i hope as they love any of my lettuce that goes bitter on me. I was told by my Korean neighbor(I sure miss her. They retired to Arizona) that while it van be unpleasant to eat bitter things are very good for your body. Supposed to help liver functions, another jewel of wisdom she gave me was about green corn silks. She and I were talking about girl problems one day and I mentioned UTI(urinary tract infections) were just awful and how I hated having to get medications for them, she said that for many different urinary issues that they make tea out of green corn silk adding mint or chamomile to make it taste better but one heaping tablespoon of silks in 3 cups of water simmered for anout 15 minutes then try to drink as much as you can. Taken at first sign of UTI it can change the ph of your urine(much like cranberry) and burn out the bacteria and keep it flushed out. It was summer and I had nothing to lose and tried it. It works. I do know when to go to the dr if its not but I haven't had a uti needing antibiotics in 6 years. She said it works for men or children who are up too much at night too but they need to drink it in late afternoon to help empty the bladder more fully so less trips or night time accidents. I do recommend googlibg it as there are some medications you can't mix it with(its a natural blood thinner) but that it has all types of minerals and even vitamin K. Oops got carried away again. Have a great night. 🥰
