After one week, the shit smell is less.<br /><br />My friend KL, said, she processed hers in the garden, her family still complain that the smell was in side the house. This year, she declined the offer to pick from M's tree.<br /><br />When it is very dried, you get the PAK GOU.<br /><br />No wonder 10 years ago, I paid S$30 a kilo in Singapore.<br /><br />No worries about none left for germination. There are one zillion fruits. The tree last for many many years.<br /><br />The Kiwis call this the Chinese Fruit. In one of my original posts, I had the drying nuts, just like the ones you buy. I actually threw them out, because I was too lazy to process them. You know, you have to remove the seedling /germ. They are poisonous.<br /><br />I only got them for nostalgic reasons.Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-38491571831485182012010-05-03T06:58:48.633+08:002010-05-03T06:58:48.633+08:00Hi Ann

I am wondering if the bad smell is a nature's way of preserving the seeds for germination...but Chinese are terrible as they know how good the seeds are they pick up every one and none left for germination...??Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-50489262952336307312010-05-02T21:18:48.187+08:002010-05-02T21:18:48.187+08:00Ann

Our share was 2 kg which we took to a Chinese restaurant to cook for a group of 10 of us...I think l kg of the turtle went to the chef and his cronies...because what was presented was so little as we had to use the serving spoon to hunt for the T. meat amongst the mushrooms and vegetables!! Chef's tax?? <br /><br />Friend from Sitiawan?
