Guest guest Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Aren't you in Calif.? I'm pretty sure if you have a real sunny small spot, you could grow or container grow a papaya fairly quickly. It might not get fruit, but I'm sure it would get leaves. If you haven't seen them, they are just a funny looking straight shoot (5 ft. +) that grow in warm clim.s in 9 mo.s or so.I use to grow them in hawaii, easy, like tomatos...... > > From: Jahjet <jahjet@...> > Subject: Re: First Batch... > kombucha tea > Date: Friday, April 2, 2010, 2:45 PM > > > > > > > >  > > > > > > > > > > ...whatever u decide to do , make sure to burp them here and now, especially those Grolch style bottles, they build up more pressure. > > Putting them in fridge will help ( you dont want dangorous explosions.. ) > > > > > > > > I just bottled my first brew last night into some grolsch style bottles.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Right, but the pig stomach is dead meat, versus a healthy humans digestive tract, yes?But yes, you should be careful what you ingest.... From: Chong <icepeanut88@...> Subject: Re: Re: Papaya Leaves kombucha tea Date: Sunday, April 4, 2010, 7:55 PM Â Papaya juice - I remember my mom used to rub the juice to soften the pig stomach (rub and then stuff the leaves in the stomach for an hour or so- so tender and delicious), tenderize various meat before cooking but never drink it neat. The Chinese and most restaurant use the dried papaya leaf juice also known as papain as meat tenderizer to make it much softer for customer to chew. Just be very careful with the quantity consumed as you do not wish to 'tenderize' your internal organs as these are very potent stuff. Chinese had for centuries used this as the main meat softener/tenderizer but not to drink it. I understand that it helps cancer treatment but have not seen any formal medical results/evidence. Everything in moderation - if you are well, avoid it as you do not wish to have 'ready to cook' internal organs ie. your tummy especially if one has a thin lining of a stomach - might cause internal bleeding. Alway check with a medical professional as papaya leaf are very very strong. ie can tenderize a big pig stomach in a jiffy!
