Btw, i saw moringa (is that the name? The plant you used to grow in Taitung?) for sale at $70 a kilo!

I'm assuming that was a kilo of dried moringa, usually sold as a powder, which is still a good price. I think the ratio of fresh to dry is something like 9/1... I may be way off. Regardless, the stuff grows faster and with less (i.e., no) care than anything I've ever seen. It can add a foot of branches a week, easily. You whack down a tree and it just sprouts right back. It's magical. Plus, it's high in protein and loads of nutrients. If I could only grow one thing in a world with food riots, it would probably be moringa.
