I've decided to grow it.

Javaman, your extract process was very interesting! I am going to try this over the summer. I picked up many tips--for example, I'd never have known not to cut the stems so low, and actually, I'd never have thought of extracting it in the first place. It sounds like such an interesting process.

I was also intrigued by what your blog piece says about its effect with insulin.
