The plant in the first picture is call Tree Palm here, I have to look up the botanical name for it.  Its a very slow growing plant, native to this area.  They are featured a lot in the movie "Jurassic Park".

I haven't heard of people eating or juicing them here.  They are not Aloe Vera, they do spread a little, but not very fast, and they flower too.  It is one of the succulent I have in my garden.

Thanks, yes the Taiwan people are really resourceful and they are very astute business entrepreneur.  I wonder how these products taste.  The salad looks really appetizing, and I like the look of the soap too.  Have you try any of them?  They all look pretty upmarket to me.

I only tasted the salad so far.  Easy House is one of the best vege restaurant here.
) _% b- F' T  _* w公仔箱論壇I am not really into other bi product.  The soap looks interesting though.  
" L& T) p, `1 e* O/ C% UMaybe you should juice up some from your garden.  If you puke dont blame me....lololol..
