#treespinach

Another delicious foraged breakfast. Squash blossoms/leaves and a bounty of chaya (tree spinach). It’s sad how society has shaped us to believe that overly processed packaged products devoid of all that is alive and real is the way to go. The consumers market is an elaborate and well orchestrated lie 🙃 Go out and find something real for yourself. You deserve nothing less. And for those of you who think my portions are “snack” sized. Just want to remind you that your stomach is actually no bigger than your fist. Any more is a waste and an unnecessary drain to your system. Love and care for yourself. ・・・ #growninhaiti #squashblossoms #foraging #chaya #treespinach #nutritious #vitamins #healthiswealth #freefood #breakfast #plantbased #deliciousness #nogmos #wild #nopesticides #noherbicides #foresttoface #gardenfresh #abundance #saynotoconsumerism #feedyourself #sustainableliving #abundance https://www.instagram.com/p/CBX4FOcFlOS/?igshid=1ogdktfb4m9mj

Cnidoscolus aconitifolius, commonly known as chaya or tree spinach, is a large, fast-growing leafy perennial shrub that is believed to have originated in the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico.[3] The specific epithet, aconitifolius, means "Aconitum-like leaves". It has succulent stems which exude a milky sap when cut. It can grow to be 6 meters tall, but is usually pruned to about 2 m for easier leaf harvest. It is a popular leaf vegetable in Mexican and Central American cuisines, similar to spinach. The leaves should be cooked before being eaten, as the raw leaves contain a high content of toxic hydrocyanic acid. Up to 5 raw leaves can be eaten a day. To be safely eaten, the required cooking time is 5-15 minutes. Chaya is a good source of protein, vitamins, calcium, and iron; and is also a rich source of antioxidants.[11] However, raw chaya leaves are toxic as they contain a glucoside that can release toxic cyanide. Cooking is essential prior to consumption to inactivate the toxic components; in this chaya is similar to cassava, which also contains toxic hydrocyanic glycosides and must be cooked before being eaten.
