I wonder if anyone ever got the idea to bottle up the nectar and put it in the market. Or beyond that...discover if it may have any medicinal properties.

Honeysuckles
These have been sprouting up all over the place. Honeysuckles are really cute plants, they have a pretty shape, and most of all the have something very yummy inside of them. When I saw my first honeysuckle, I didn't think much of it. Until I realize about the yummy shot of flavor each one has inside of it...well the ones that are fresh anyway. I'll have to make a tutorial on how to extract sweetness out of these cute little flowers.

Hi Eddie,
ReplyDeleteWe have a very fragrant bloom here in my country called Sampaguita. It is often used as a lei necklace flower and sold on the streets and in church courtyards. A popular offering placed on saint's statues and altars. I never thought to think of it as a food product until I learned of how a five star hotel chef turned it into designer icecream. It was on the news a couple of years back.
The papaya fruit, on the other end, has ended up as a multi-million peso business after being discovered to be a good whitening product. Papayas now not only grace our tables, but also our bathrooms and dressers as soaps, lotions and other beauty products. So you might be onto something here. :D
I'm glad to discover your blog. Keep posting specially the photos you take of the beautiful places you visit.
Thank you very much. I enjoyed looking.
