My neighbour's moringa tree.
Lo and behold, I discovered how the internet is raving about the moringa tree. See HERE. Now, I stare up at the tree and drool. The leaves make a delicious stir fry and if it is as nutritious as stated in the internet... man... that is some tree!
My own moringa tree is barely taller than my forearm. It is as good as no tree since I can't eat it without killing it. As such, I rely on my neighbour's largesse for a regular supply of the vegetable. So, I have now become doubly conscientious in plying my neighbour with home made almond milk (which she loves) and home grown xiao bai cai. In return, I get moringa leaves to fry up for dinner.
This is good old fashioned barter trade!!

I love eating the leaves! Let me guess....your neighbour is Indian? Since as far as i know, we Indians love this tree! ;)
When I was a little girl - one of my neighbours was Indian. They used to bring over for me bc they knew I liked! An an Indonesian neighbour used to cook some dish with pounded Tapioca leaves bc I liked too. :D
Yep... my neighbour is Indian.
Karmeleon - my neighbour told me to make a dhal. Sounds delicious but quite a lotta work so I just stir fry and eat. Indian cooking is very elaborate.
