I'll start, Pakbet at Tahong na may sabaw
As a dad of an EBF 18 month old, I feel like malunggay (moringa oleifera) isn't getting that much love and attention here on this sub.
I've seen fenugreek here quite a lot but also the accompanying gassy babies from time to time due to it.
I've seen a lot of posts here asking about how moringa is and most of them remain unanswered. So now, let's talk about it and see how wonderful this plant is.
I'm from the Philippines and moringa is know locally as malunggay. The plant is ubiquitous in both rural and urban areas of the country. No sane person would buy raw moringa on the market since you could just harvest or forage it anywhere even if it's on someone's property.
In Filipino cuisine, moringa is usually found in chicken stews (tinolang manok) or in mung bean stews (ginisang munggo) that are usually served on Friday nights (that's another topic for discussion that doesn't fit this sub). Moringa is usually incorporated in clear broth dishes and stews here. It's even turned into pesto if you're fancy enough.
But what we're here for is how it's good for breastfeeding. Aside from the plant's high nutritional value, it's great for boosting the milk supply.
OBs, pedias, lactation nurses, and even regular nurses always recommend malunggay to pregnant and breastfeeding moms here in the Philippines. It's best if you could harvest and cook it. Supplements in capsule form are great as well.
As for my wife, she takes her moringa in capsule form because let's not kid ourselves, who has time to cook when you have a toddler these days? Her favorite dishes with malunggay are mung bean stew, and pork and white corn stew. She'd sometimes complain of having sore breasts shortly after those meals because of milk oversupply and our toddler won't boob yet because grandparents gave him a lot of snacks.
All in all, 11/10. Highly recommended.
I understand that most of the people here are not tropical jungle Asians and have no access to a malunggay plant. Please check the labels if you're buying moringa supplements. And make sure to get it from a reputable place.
That is all and thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies ๐
It really does, I swear!

Pilot on me!!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Just to clarify, 12345678
Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
