Dried Roseflower

Well.. what is that?

Found some strange but interesting thing when hubby and I went out at supermarket today.  Its kind of our habit to look around for things when we went shopping.  Today was no exception.  We found this thing called dried roseflower.  I didnt know what that was at first but when I looked closely, its the flower - the Roses, small and dried.  I wonder if they were edible? It must be because they were placed at food area.  

Well.. I've heard or read some flowers are edible, mostly they are cooked in petals.  But these roses are still in buds and whole.  I wonder how they taste like.  And do we cook them?  I tried to search some info about them but didnt find that much information.  Hubby also found another unique leaves called Motherwort but when I searched for it, there is some information about it here.

Phew.. there are really so many unique things in this world that we need to learn!




Hubby found this and we also didnt know what these leaves are

Its called MOTHERWORT

Motherwort, also known as kacang ma is usually used by chinese. you toast the leaves on a frying pan without oil and let it brown. after that you blend it finely. our family usually cooks it in chicken soup. with alot of ginger. so boleh buang angin. and orang pantang beranak drink the soup with motherwort ani every day. it's tasty herby taste. but not many people will like the taste. :)
