PEGAGA JUICE IN MALAYSIA
Malaysia - July, 2014
 |

I had always like drinking the Pegaga Juice since I was young.
Ok.... a confession - I did not like it initially as it has a acrid green taste which lingers in the mouth, but after a while it's refreshing flavour got to me.

The Pegaga juice is the blended juice from the Centella Asiatica plant. It is aquatic plant that grows naturally at the sides of streams or ditches. Being aquatic, availability during dry seasons could be reduced.
In Malay it is called Pegaga; in Cantonese it's called Pang Tai Woon (崩大碗) or Wan Tau Long (云头浪) or , in Hokkien Chae Chau.

There are also a host of medicinal benefits. A Simple Working Mom also touched on this.
Looks like the plant can also be used as a medicinal herbal patch to quicken the healing of wounds.
