Rediscovery of malonggay


One of the gains during my stay on Bohol Bee Farm was the rediscovery of Malonggay (Morina oleifera). Last year when I was in Palawan, I saw people putting malonggay leaves in their soups, claiming it to be a magical herb. However, not unitl I finally looked it up on the Internet, did I discover that it indeed is such a wonderful plant. Henceforth I would start my day with a cup of malonggay tea and whenever I cook soups or porridges, I would sprinkle a bunch of malonggay leaves in them.
