One of the popular ways to eat raw oysters in Thailand is garnished with a dabble of burnt chili sauce, a few fried onions and a sprig of herb. It’s hard to get better than this!

It is very easy to grow at home. You just need to get a seed/dried seed. They even make jewelry ornaments from the dried seeds.

Hey Paulo,
In Thai it’s called “krathin.” In English it’s sort of complicatedly called “leucaena leucocephala.” It’s basically a leaf from a tree, similar to an acacia.

Yes it is a kind of vegetable in local Asian food https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucaena_leucocephala
when you eat it with raw oysters, it will give a sweet taste, because the enzyme from the oysters convert something inside the shoot leaves of this plant into a form of unique sugar
