Tía tengo un montón de anécdotas locas de ese chaval, era un personaje único. Llegó un día a nuestro piso con un bote de cristal con una cosa súper asquerosa dentro diciendo que era "kefri" y queriendo echarlo al café y a todos lados. Ese día descubrí lo que era el kéfir 😂

"Through artificial propagation, KEFRI has been testing the growth of the Indian Sandalwood in Kenya since 2019. The Indian sandalwood is among the “true” sandalwood species that grow faster, produce more oil and are more desirable in the international market."
