Efelek is used in Anatolia to increase height. It belongs to the buckwheat family. It is a plant that grows one to two meters tall. In winter, chard can also be used instead of efelek. Chopped efelek is sautéed in oil, an egg is cracked on top, and it is fed to children with slow growth. I had told my friend; she makes meals with the back part of the fish and feeds it to her children. People from the Black Sea region already make stuffed leaves with fish. "I saw great benefit from it," she said.
My grandmother also fed it to me a lot. Now one of our professors says "I discovered it" and sells its seeds at an incredible price. A friend of mine bought some; she was shocked when she saw efelek seeds in my mother's garden. Internet professors praise plants to do business. They themselves are not healthy at all. It is not right to rely solely on one plant. One should eat healthily and in a balanced way, plus benefit from such products. Actually, efelek has not been scientifically studied. You make stuffed leaves with it, or its salad with egg or yogurt. If bulgur is used when making stuffed leaves, it becomes more beneficial for growth. It is also a plant whose tea is consumed a lot.
