Dr Raju: thank you... And Bimal da thanks
for the Indian vernacular/tribal names of Phytolaca americana ... Its very interesting that tribals separated by seven seas and many centuries ... American Alquonquin tribe (who taught the white immigrants to boil it three times and discard the water ) in 16th 17th century had very similar methods to our Sikkimese and Nepali Himalayan hill folks and Tibetans I guess..in this or the last (20th ) century at least .... boil the greens well and discard the water... It goes to show that the people without the college degress or western education also learn quickly and develop methodologies for enjoying foods, cooking methods for nourishing foods and saving themselves and their family and friends from possible toxins... Is n't life on this earth wonderful??? Thanks.. Keep the history of Botany lessons coming.... Usha di === PS Bimal da: Can you give me the full citation for this book please...
