I’ve been patiently waiting for many seasons to see the turmeric flower in my subtropical garden. I was so happy to come home to see this after a beautiful day. Yesterday was a special day for a few reasons, this was one of them ❤️

What 2 grocery items are super easy to grow, can take neglect, drought, but can be expensive? They are Goji berries and Saffron spice. Goji berries are hardy plants that are drought tolerant, disease resistant, growing in zones 5-10 Saffron Crocus. It’s a drought tolerant, hardy perennial that blooms in fall. Plant the bulbs in clusters about 3″-4″ deep in sunny to partially sunny spots in your garden. It is a perennial in zones 6-9. Health Benefits- Goji berries Goji berries can help vision because they contain high levels of healthy antioxidants, especially zeaxanthin. Goji berries contain large amounts of vitamins A and C, zeaxanthin, and carotenoids which are responsible for fighting cancer cells. Antioxidants slow tumor growth, reduce inflammation, and help to remove harmful substances from the body. Goji berries may be helpful in controlling the release of sugar into the blood. Research shows that goji berries balance insulin and glucose levels in the blood. Goji berries have been used to treat liver disease in traditional Chinese medicine. Research on animal models indicates goji berries can help with managing liver health and preventing the progression of alcohol-induced fatty liver disease. Saffron’s medicinal use is well-documented throughout history. I love the floral taste and bight yellow orange color of saffron tea. Some documented uses for saffron are helping with PMS and menstrual cramps, stomach disorders depression and anxiety The active constituents in saffron have antidepressant and antianxiety properties comparable to certain standard medications Citalopram Fluoxetine Imipramine Additionally, people who take saffron for depression or anxiety report fewer negative side effects. Research shows that people with Alzheimer’s disease who regularly take saffron supplements have significantly better cognitive function than those who don’t. Saffron’s effects on dementia may be due to its properties that prevent the buildup of the protein beta-amyloid in your brain, which researchers believe is one of the potential causes of Alzheimer’s disease. #saffronspice #gojiberries #foodforestgarden #sustainable626 #sustainablelifestyle
