Ficus pseudopalma

My 5 year old Ficus pseudopalma (locally known as niyog-niyogan or lubi-lubi in the Philippines). Studies show the leaves are rich in dietary fiber, carbohydrates, and beneficial plant compounds like flavonoids and tannins. They are valued for managing high blood pressure, lowering postprandial blood sugar, fighting oxidative stress, and providing a rich source of dietary fiber. A Filipino recipe of lubi-lubi leaves "ginataan" is the most common. 😍🌱🌳

Rimas / Breadfruit

One of my favorite fruit since my childhood days.  This is #Kolo fruit also known as #Rimas or #Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis).
