A Healthy Life
Приєднався 29 кві 2020
Living a healthy life is one that requires emotional, spiritual, and physical health. Living in Hawaii, we live with a sense of community and purpose, as we intentionally live with a desire to be healthy on all levels and help others do the same.
Easy to Grow & Nutritious Lau Pele, aka Tongan Bele
Lau Pele, also known as Tongan Bele, Slippery Cabbage, and Edible Hibiscus, is considered to be the most nutritious vegetable in all of Oceania. It is so easy to grow!!! With Covid-19, we realized the importance of growing our own food from perenial plants that do not require seeds. They are cultivated most successfully from cuttings. We are wanting to educate people on the benefits, cultivation and preparation of this delicious plant. You can eat it raw or cooked, but to be honest we love it cooked the most. Grows best in tropical and subtropical areas.
Enjoy!

In this video I show the basic way to cook breadfruit, also called Ulu in Hawaii. Besides steaming it you can use it any way that you use potatos. You can make a delicious potatoe salad using ulu instead of or in addition to potatoes. I usually start off with steaming the ulu and storing it in the refrigerator for a few days. I can place it on top of salad cold. I can throw it in stir fry, or c...

Where can i buy the plant aunty
We bought our “ Hibiscus Spinach “ plant at a farmers market here in town. It is growing beautifully and we share the leaves with a couple of relatives and friends. I am interested in finding more ways to prepare it! It is a miracle plant!
I live in Melbourne Florida- zone 9b
I am around tampa fl We are very close.
Must try cooking in coconut milk. Add some fried fish to the mix, some onions and salt. Eat this dish with some cooked cassava or plantains.
do you know why it's called hibiscus spinach? does it flower or something like a hibiscus?
It is called aibika in Papua New Guinea and we cook it in coconut milk or cream. Aibika goes well with taro, cassava, banana, yam, sweet potato or sago. I live in Queensland, Australia and grow the aibika in my backyard without fertiliser and get the big leaves when we have rain.
Hello, we live in Los Angeles. Would you be willing to sell some cuttings to us? Thank you very much!
can the big leaves be eaten raw strait off the plant? Thanks for a most interesting clip.
Hi, We are in Florida and have started growing some variegated bele... but we haven't seen the variety with the big leaves around here. Can we purchase some cuttings from you? I think it would grow really well here. Thank you.
Thanks. I’m going to try one from my neighbors tree
I can't find that anywhere on Oahu. Is there any way I can buy some?
Thanks NGIA!
