TERUNG PIPIT/PEA EGGPLANT

This may looked like cooked peas to you, right? Well, it is actually called terung pipit in Malay. In the English language it is known as pea eggplant as the fruit does look very much like peas. It goes by the scientific name solanum torvum and has a number of health benefits. As far as I know, it is good for helping to lower high blood pressure, to cure coughs, treat piles, asthma, chest phlegm and reduce body heat.

MALAY VERSION
Yang dalam bekas itu macam kacang hijau, kan?  Tetapi sebenarnya ialah terung pipit.  Dalam Bahasa Inggeris ia dikenali sebagai pea eggplant kerana buah dia nampak seakan kacang hijau.  Nama saintifiknya ialah solanum torvum dan ia ada beberapa khasiat untuk kesihatan.  Ia digunakan untuk menurunkan tekanan darah tinggi, untuk mengubat batuk, buasir, penyakit lelah, kahak dalam paru-paru dan menurunkan panas badan.
