Make your own fruit enzyme

My friend PL was here for a visit over the weekend. She shared about the health benefit of fruit enzyme and how it’s helping her with stress related ailments that both of us share in common. She brought some fruit enzyme that she made to share with my family. She mixed with some water and made a cup of drink for me. It taste quite nice and it caused so much gases that night, it’s embarrassing!

Many of us probably have heard and read about this fruit enzyme as a few organic stores have been promoting it quite a bit lately. I remember reading about a Thai alternative medicine practitioner named Dr. Rosukon Poompanwong who teaches people to make enzyme from kitchen waste.

Apparently, they are a few Malaysians who went to visit the health farm runs by Dr. Rosukon in Thailand. They came back promoting the making of fruits enzyme and garbage enzyme widely in Klang Valley. PL went to one of those classes to learn how to make fruit enzymes. Knowing PL is always eager to share what she learns with me. I asked her to do a demo on how to make fruit enzyme at home.

And this is the product we have, two jars of apples enzyme and one jar of dragon fruits enzyme from twenty green apples, two dragon fruits, six lemons and about 500 g of organic sugar.

fruit enzyme

(It started as a full jar but I forgot to take a picture. This is how it looked like after two days. The osmosis was drawing the juices out and fermentation has begun. Can see bubbles forming and smell like citrus wine.)

The skins and seeds of the fruits do not go to waste, they go in a jar to make garbage enzyme that can be used as fertilizer, disinfectant and many more. (You can also make this from kitchen waste.)

garbage enzyme

You must be thinking, yuck, the fermentation of this garbage must be really smelly! Believe it or not, this bottle of garbage actually smell pretty good, a bit similar to the citrus based deodorant you have in the car!

    (or Liquid Oligo 900 15 tbsp)
    Organic Brown Rice Vinegar 520 ml

    3) Pour in the organic brown rice vinegar after the 3 portions of ingredients are completely stacked-in. Seal tight with food wrap before covering with a lid. Keep in dry cool place for 2 weeks before serving. Better result if keep for 2-3 months.

    Most of the sugar found in market is cane sugar. This disaccharide will be digested into single sugar as glucose and fructose, and absorbed into the body. Excessive consumption of these sugars may lead to chronic diseases, in particular diabetic. OLIGO 900 is found in corn, burdock, banana, onion, tomato, garlic and etc. U can get it from Organic shop.

    When we use lemon to make enzyme, must we take off the skin?

    Leah: I did. Unless you use organic lemons, it’s better to peel the skin, furthermore the skin gives a bitter taste.

    U can try search around the organic shop near your place. I found it near the organic shop at my place.
