Did you know that all recipes in the Savage Kitche

Did you know that all recipes in the Savage Kitchen app for Butterfly Ginger can be used interchangeably with kāhili ginger (Hedychium gardnerianum), white butterfly ginger (Hedychium coronaries), and yellow butterfly ginger (Hedychium flavescens)? We focus heavily on the kāhili because, unlike the other butterfly gingers, they produce seeds and are next level invasive.

Woven into the very fabric of land in Hawai'i is strawberry guava. Maybe we can hold more than one story. How do you weave together disparate parts of yourself? Life seems to operate in the grey zones and we all have to find a place of cohesion. Strawberry guava is an invasive species severely threatening our remaining endemic plant species and altering our watershed in deleterious ways. At the same moment, you see hundreds of thousands of acres of strawberry guava thriving amidst changes in climate and that offer us food and medicine. I want to move in the direction of life. When I see a plant in the landscape I do not want to send it bad energy for being an invasive, I want to ask it how together we can move in the direction of life. How can we bring more water in, more life in, more balance?
