Q&A with CEM/CEF farming consultant, Mr Koon Chai Gan..

Customer: Why are my vegetable leaves full with holes? Can I eat leaves with holes? I remember someone said we must not eat leaves that were eaten by slugs..

Gan: There are two perspective to view vegetables with holes...

1. Normally insects will attack the weaker plants or help to destroy the unhealthy plants. It’s nature’s way of creating an ecological balance. Weather and other unforeseen circumstances cause plants to be imbalanced and attract insects but if their immunity is strong (just like human), the leaves are left with holes, without being completely destroyed.

2. Insects are vegetarian, so it’s safe to eat the leaves with holes. They don’t leave any dangerous viruses. Anyway when you buy those vegetables, you are not being cheated because holes has no weight.

Customer: Well, in that case, I can buy those vegetables with holes especially from those old ladies and men in the wet markets. That should be safe, or have less chemicals and insecticides produced, isn’t it?

Gan: It is also possible that due to pests resurgence (high population), it is not possible for the agrochemicals to kill all the pests in time, the holes remain even with the farmers applying more pesticides than before 😳. My advice, the safest way, is to buy organic vegetables or grow your own or know the farmers who provide your vegetables and fruits.

As we stay home during MCO, the plants just keep growing at CEF. The sugar cane has grown so well and juicy. Mr Gan and workers cleaned the sugar cane presser and bottled the juice to go out to Community Eco Market - CEM. Over the last one year, the manual sugar cane presser at CEF has become a novel attraction for visitors to the farm. Enjoy the video!
