Soursop (also called graviola, guyabano, and in Latin America, guanábana)

Image
Soursop (also called graviola, guyabano, and in Latin, America, guanábana) is the fruit of Annona muricata, a broadleaf, flowering, evergreen tree. It is native to the tropical (hot climate) regions of the America and the Caribbean and is widely propagated.It is in the same genus,  Annona  as Cherimoya and is in the Annonaceae family. The soursop is adapted to areas of high humidity and relatively warm winters; temperatures below 5 °C (41 °F) will cause damage to leaves and small branches, and temperatures below 3 °C (37 °F) can be fatal. The fruit becomes dry and is no longer good for concentrate. With an aroma similar to pineapple, the flavor of the fruit has been described as a combination of strawberries and apple with sour citrus flavor notes, contrasting with an underlying thick creamy texture reminiscent of banana. Soursop is widely promoted (sometimes as "graviola") as an alternative cancer treatment, but there is no reliable medical evidence...

Minthostachys verticillata (pepper mint)

Image
Minthostachys verticillata, commonly known as peperina, (do not get confused with Pudina which we use in Indian culinary) is the only species of the genus Minthostachys known from Argentina. It occurs in the northwestern and central regions of the country. It may be the most economically important species of its genus, as it is collected extensively for its essential oils. These have been repeatedly examined for their composition, variability, and possible pharmacological effects. Due to varying views on the circumscription of species, the species is sometimes subsumed with others under the catch-all name Minthostachys mollis. It took lot of time to recognise the exact name and specifications about this plant but it helped me much to know it's uses and bad effects.  Though it is a medicinal plant but consuming too much can cause serious low blood pressure, it's good for person who is having high blood pressure but again suggestion is please ask for doses before usin...
