Kainos Farm Week 5: Making Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ) from Kakawati Leaves


FPJ recipe:

2 kg fresh kakawati leaves
1 kg brown sugar
1 L water


Step 1: Shred/cut kakawati leaves into small pieces
Step 2: Mix in brown sugar and water in a large bucket
Step 3: Crush and pound the mixture into a pulp. We used a round rock to do this.
Step 4: Put the mixture into a net bag. Or in our case, a mesh trash can.
Step 5: Place inside a bucket and cover with cloth.
Step 6: Put a label on the cloth. Include the date the mixture was made/
Step 7: Store in a cool, dry place.

  1. Hello. Thank you for this post about Kakawati. I am planning to use this extraction to treat my dog's skin issues. May I ask, what is the purpose of the Brown Sugar? Can I just omit using the sugar? And how long is its shelf life (if refrigerated)? Thank you.
