Alagaw (Premna odorata)

Firstime to try the leaves of Alagaw (Premna odorata) for cooking "paksiw". Unique taste due to its yellowish-green aromatic essential oil. 



Alagaw has many health benefits. Studies have suggested antimicrobial, antiviral, cardiotonic, anticoagulant, hepatoprotective, antitubercular, antitumor, antimutagenic, anti-parasitic, antioxidant properties.

Limited seedlings of Alagaw are available at BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM.
