Recommended to pick USPS Priority Mail, USPS service is slower than normal. According to the National Institute of Nutrition in Mexico City, ingesting chaya will: Improve blood circulation, help digestion, improve vision, disinflame veins and hemorrhoids, help lower cholesterol, help reduce weight, prevent coughs, augment calcium in the bones, decongest and disinfect the lungs, prevent anemia by replacing iron in the blood, improve memory and brain function and combat arthritis and diabetes. Nutritional analysis shows that Chaya is rich on iron than spinach and a powerful source of potassium and calcium. It's also incredibly easy to grow and an attractive addition to the garden with its maple-like leaves and tidy growth pattern. It limits itself to about six feet in height. If you plant it with full sun, it will grow to a very large tall tree. But its leaves will grow small. Kind of as a "mother tree" to reproduce the species. Plant a row close together and you'll soon have a hedge. The plants tend to be open toward the bottom, so you can create a border with low- and medium-growing herbs. To grow your own, stake branches in sandy soil, fertile soil with good drainage, and water regularly. It grows well in a median annual temperature of 25 C. or higher, and at altitudes of 0 to 1000 meters above sea level. In regions with lower temperatures will develop small leaves, but the plant can sustain temperatures below 10 degrees region under a the roof with good light In some states, it is called chaya col or chaya Mansa. The botanical name is Cnidoscolus chayamansa. Start harvesting as soon as you see a couple of new leaves sprouted. Cutting encourages new growth, and the branches are pretty in flower arrangements. The leaves are pretty bland, so you can add them to soups, casseroles, spaghetti sauces, salsas and salads without affecting the taste. The tiny, tender ones can go in omelets or salads or be used as garnish. The larger ones are best chopped and cooked long and slow. I've tried cooking them quickly, like spinach, and have not been happy with the leathery results. For a liter of tea, use 3-5 medium-sized leaves with whatever blend you favor. I like two bags of black tea with two bags of mint and the chaya leaves, "cooked" in a glass bottle in the sun for a couple of hours and then refrigerated. Soak the leaves in water with a disinfectant such as Microdyn, before using, as you do fruits and vegetables. Warning: In cooking or serving, Do not use aluminum containers, as a toxic reaction can result, causing diarrhea. Use pottery or glass.
