Hello Asmita,
this is your mentor WooJoo.
Warm greetings from South Korea.
Thank you for sharing your second report about medicinal plants.
It is impressive how it can be used for different purposes!
I think that it would be nice if we can use it for eco-friendly dye source.
I'm curious how it can be cooked to eat it.
Always too much use of a thing is followed by the danger of scarceness,
so preserving is important as well.
Keep writing
Regards,
WooJoo
