Gabi is one of the major rootcrops grown throughout the country. It can be grown almost anywhere, upland or lowland.

Land preparation and planting:
- Plow the field twice to loosen the soil.
- Harrow the field in a criss-cross manner to break the soil clods.
- Make furrows at a distance of 75 cm. Plant in the furrows. For irregular and hilly areas, plant in holes.
- For upland culture, plant the seedpieces 7 to 10 cm. deep in the furrows, at a 50 cm. distance between plants. When holes are prepared instead of furrows, slip the seedpieces into the holes and cover partially leaving the hollow around the plant.
- For best results, select a field with alluvial loam soil.
Fertilization:
The amount and kind of fertilizer to use vary from place to place.
- Apply 60-60-60 kg. of NPK/ha. to yield 30 tons/ha. Continue Reading »

You should never brew Malunggay Tea with hot water and then cool it to prepare cold or iced tea. Instead, please double the amount of the Malunggay Tea leaves used to brew it in cold water in a sealed container. This way you keep the aroma, the natural color and the medicinal health benefits of the Malunggay Tea. The reason this way is better, is that you avoid oxidation that can occur if the tea is left open to the air in an attempt to cool it after hot brewing.
The brewing time is actually very short. For example, 10-15 cups of tea can be brewed in a jar in the ice box in just 30-45 minutes. Please note that you can refill the jar with water to brew more tea when the level reaches one third full.
You may repeat the same procedure up to 3 times using the same Malunggay Tea leaves.
Malunggay iced tea is better than drinking water for walkers, runners, cycling, mountain climbing or any athletic sport in general that demands replenishment of body fluids.
7 Guidelines for Good Tea Making
- Always start with spring water or distilled water (ideally spring), and make sure it is fresh and cool.
- Bring the water to a full, rolling boil in a stainless steel kettle, and then remove the kettle from heat immediately, as water that is allowed to boil too long loses the oxygen gas dissolved in it and can cause your tea to taste flat. Continue Reading »
