We didn't know anything about Greens till a week after the boys were getting scabies. What they used at first was hibiscus leaves,a common plant in Singapore. When we first started eating it raw,we burnt our mouths with that sticky stuff. So we cooked it for five minutes and mixed it with rice.

In order to survive,you try to make use of every part of the fruit you ate.For instance,even the skin from a Cempedak can be eaten. The seed,which is hard,can be boiled until it becomes soft and edible. You can even eat the shells of groundnuts.
