About the Programme/Event
You may know blue pea as a natural blue colouring in local pastries such as Pulut Tai Tai, but did you know it has tremendous medicinal value too? Traditionally, the roots are used to treat sore throats and mucus disorders and the juice from the roots (mixed with cold milk) as a remedy for chronic bronchitis. Be enlightened on the wonders of this pretty and edible plant as speaker Mdm Teh Mooi Yan shares how you can easily grow and use them at home.
This programme is suitable for those aged 50 and above.
