Traditional dishes are rich in nutritional value, always in the top group of foods that help get milk quickly.
Pig trotters contain high levels of collagen, protein and fat, helping to quickly restore health; green papaya is rich in vitamins A, C, E and minerals that help stimulate the mammary glands to function effectively.
Clean pig trotters, blanch in boiling water and then simmer until soft with green papaya cut into bite-sized pieces. Season to taste, add a little scallions and eat while still warm.
