We have been mind-trained to look west that in the process we have lost our traditionally wonderful vegetables.  To me, peperomia pellucida (sireh cina), cosmos caudatus (ulam raja) and wild purslane (beremi) are superfoods that can be eaten raw as a salad.    They grow easily in our weather and requires minimal care.  To maximise the benefits, it is best grown organically without the use of chemical fertilisers or pesticides and not exposed to any chemical herbicides.

This combination provides the following nutrients:

  1. Vitamin A
  2. Vitamin B1, B3, B6
  3. Vitamin C
  4. Calcium
  5. Copper
  6. Iron
  7. Magnesium
  8. Manganese
  9. Potassium
  10. Omega-3 fatty acids
  11. Sodium
  12. Zinc

These combination has the following properties:

  1. anti-oxidant
  2. anti-hypertensive
  3. anti-diabetic
  4. anti-inflammatory
  5. bone-protective effect
  6. anti-microbial
  7. anti-fungal
  8. anti-cancer
  9. lowers cholesterol
  10. anti-arthritic
  11. anti-rheumatic
  12. anti-diarrheal
  13. analgesic

    The beauty of this trio is it is natural food so it can easily be incorporated into your daily diet.  You don’t have to worry whether you take it before a meal or after a meal or on empty stomach because it is food and not chemicals.  I am not a proponent of juicing but if you want to drink it, blend it so that you get all the nutrients and benefits.  Happy eating 🙂
