I didn't know about the medicinal properties though. Very interesting.<br /><br />I'm so excited to hear you harvested your Pineapple. I still haven't tried the apple trick to try encourage mine to bloom. May in the Fall:) How did it taste? Did you post about it? I'm thrilled to know!!! <i>Louise</i>~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966972807354804068.post-7656164257414002272013-05-17T10:06:52.913+08:002013-05-17T10:06:52.913+08:00Normally ppl cook the whole plant together with Ch...Normally ppl cook the whole plant together with Chinese pearl barley, it good for kidneys and urinary system. can get from wet market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966972807354804068.post-14720551568846152622013-05-14T20:35:18.440+08:002013-05-14T20:35:18.440+08:00It is a plantain plant...

It's considered a weed here in the US, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's an edible weed and like you've mentioned, it has medicinal qualities. I haven't tried it yet so I can't comment on its edibility, but I will definitely try it if I can find it in my backyard. It's supposed to be highly nutritional.<br />The Novice Gardenerhttp://thenovicegardener.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966972807354804068.post-22660219797555795732013-04-21T18:00:09.803+08:002013-04-21T18:00:09.803+08:00Looks like some medicinal herbs that my mum used t...Looks like some medicinal herbs that my mum used to plant.
