ŽUBROWKA / ŽUBROVKA / DIŠEČA TRAVA

Doma v Severni Ameriki in Evraziji. Native to North America and Eurasia. Značilen sladkast vonj prihaja od kumarina. Znanstveno ime prihaja iz grščine in pomeni 'sveta dišeča trava'.

Dišečo travo uporabljajo v zeliščni medicini in izdelavi alkoholnih pijač. V severni Evropi jo polagajo pred vrta cerkva ob dnevih določenih svetnikov. V Franciji z dišečo travo začinjajo sladice, tobak, brezalkoholne pijače in parfume. V Rusiji z njo začinjajo čaj. In Russia, it is used to flavor tea. Sladka trava daje okus nekaterim vodkam, najbolj znana sta poljska Zubrówka in Wisent. Dišečo travo na veliko uporabljajo S ameriški Indijanci. Kot sveta rastlina ima mesto pri mirovnih in zdravilnih ritualih. Posušeni in spleteni listi so kadilo z vonjem po vaniliji. Iz listov sterilnih poganjkov pletejo košare.

OKRASNI SLAK

Ipomoea je z več kot 500 vrstami največji rod v družini Convolvulaceae. Vrste so prisotne po vseh tropskih in subtropskih regijah sveta.

Človek uporablja vrste rodu Ipomoea za tri namene: Prvič, večina vrst ima spektakularne, barvite cvetove in jih zato gojimo v okras. Drugič, nekatere so užitne. Gomolji sladkega krompirja (I. batatas) in listi vodne špinače (I. aquatica) so komercialno pomembne poljščine že več tisočletij. Tretjič, nekatere vrste vsebujejo določene zdavilne in/ali psihoaktivne substance, predvsem alkaloide.

MORNING GLORY

Ipomoea is the largest genus in the family Convolvulaceae, with over 500 species. They occur throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world.

Human use of Ipomoea is threefold: First, most species have spectacular, colorful flowers and are grown as ornamental plants. Second, some are edible. The tubers of sweet sotato (I. batatas) and the leaves of water spinach (I. aquatica) have been commercially important crops for millennia. Thirdly, some species contain certain medically important and/or psychoactive compounds, mainly alkaloids.

(JAPONSKA) VODNA ŠPINAČA

Stebla lahko zrastejo do 2 -3 metre, na kolencih se ukoreninjajo, so votla in plavajo na vodi. To je pogosta listnata zelenjava v kuhinji JV Azije. Na Zahodu je skoraj neznana, zato je tu kratek opis receptov, povzet po Wikipediji:

V Singapurju, Indoneziji in Malaji liste običajno ocvrejo s čiliji, česnom, ingverjem, pasto iz kozic in raznimi začimbami. V Penangu in Ipohu jo skuhajo s sipami v sladko kisli omaki. Med japonsko okupacijo Singapurja med drugo svetovno vojno se je rastlina tam udomačila in postala popularen medvojni pridelek.V kitajski kuhinji ('votla zelenjava') obstaja veliko receptov, enostavna in hitra priprava pa je cvrtje, včasih z mletim česnom. Na kantonski način (ong choy) jo pripravijo z fižolovim tofujem. V kuhinji Hakka dodajo pasto rumenega fižola in včasih šalotke. V Taivanu (phak bung) in Burmi (ga zun ywet), špinačo ocvrejo z ostrigovo omako ali svetlo sojino pasto, gesnom in čiliji. Lahko jo jemo tudi svežo, npr v solati s zeleno papajo. V Vietnamu (rau mung) je bila to včasih zelenjava revežev. Na jugu stebla narežejo na tanke in dolge rezine, skuhajo in jedo z različnimi rezanci. Na Filipinih (kangkóng) jo običajno marinirajo v jedilnem olju s čebulo, česnom, kisom in sojino omako - jed se imenuje adobong kangkong. Dodajo jo tudi v mesne in ribje enolončnice kot je npr. sinigang. Poznajo tudi prigrizek imenovan hrustljavi kangkong, kjer so listi vodne špinače pripravljeni 'po pariško'. Na jugu Indije liste sesekljajo, zmešajo s nastrganim kokosom - to je priloga imenovana thoran, jed iz kuhine Kerala.

(JAPANESE) WATER SPINACH

Its stems can be 2–3 metres long, rooting at the nodes, hollow and can float. This is a green vegetable and a common ingredient in Southeast Asian dishes. As this popular vegetable is not well known in the West, here is a bit about it from Wikipedia:

In Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, the leaves are usually stir fried with chili pepper, garlic, ginger, dried shrimp paste and other spices. In Penang and Ipoh, it is cooked with cuttlefish and a sweet and spicy sauce. During the Japanese Occupation of Singapore in World War II it grew remarkably well and easily there, and became a popular wartime crop. In Chinese cuisine ('hollow vegetable') there are numerous ways of preparation, but a simple and quick stir-fry either plain or with minced garlic. In Cantonese (ong choy) is made with fermented bean curd. In Hakka cuisine, yellow bean paste is added, sometimes along with fried shallots. In Taiwan (phak bung) and in Burma (ga zun ywet), it is stir-fried with oyster sauce or yellow soybean paste, garlic and chillies. It can also be eaten raw, for example with green papaya salad. In Vietnam (rau mung) it was once a staple vegetable of the poor. In the south, the stems are julienned into thin strips and eaten with many kinds of noodles. In the Philippines (kangkóng) is usually sautéed in cooking oil, onions, garlic, vinegar, and soy sauce, this dish is called adobong kangkong. It is also used in fish and meat stews such as sinigang. There is an appetizer called crispy kangkong, in which the leaves are coated with batter and fried until crisp and golden brown. In South India the leaves are finely chopped and mixed with grated coconut in order to prepare thoran, a Kerala cuisine dish.

SLADKI KROMPIR

Doma iz Srednje Amerike, udomačen pred vsaj 5000 leti. Domorodni narodi so ga razširili po Kribih in Južni Ameriki do 2500 pred našim štetjem. Sladki krompir je ena od polinezijskih 'kanu rastlin', saj so ga Polinezijci prinesli iz Južne Amerike in razširili po Polinezji do leta 700, nato pa še na Havaje in Novo Zelandijo. Prvi Evropejci, ki so jedli sladki krompir so bili člani Kolumbove ekspedicije leta 1492. Slovensko ime prihaja preko Z evropskih verzij iz Taino imena batata. Slednje ime je bilo kasneje uporabljeno za navadni krompir - kar še vedno povzroča zmedo.

Dobro raste v različnih pogojih in ima malo škodljivcev, zato pesticidi praktično niso potrebni. Uspeva celo v slabi zemlji z malo hranili. Hitro rastoče vitice zasenčijo vse plevele.

Sladki krompir je bogat z enostavnimi škrobi, kompleksnomi ogljikovimi hidrati, vlakninami, beta karotenom (prekurzor vitamina A), vitaminoma C in B6. Listi in poganjki vsebujejo vitamine A, C, B2 in lutein. Gomolji, listi in poganji so vsi užitni!

SWEET POTATO / KUMARA

Native to Central America, domesticated at least 5,000 years ago. Spread by local people to the Caribbean and South America by 2500 BC. Sweet Potato is one of the Polynesian 'canoe plants', brought by Polynesians from South America and spread across Polynesia by around 700 AD, and to Hawaii and New Zealand from there. The first Europeans to taste them were the Columbus' expedition in 1492. The english name comes from the Taino name batata. This name was later transmuted to the ordinary potato - still causing confusion.

Grows well in many conditions and has few pests, so pesticides are rarely if ever needed. Even grows in poor soils with little fertilizer. Rapidly growing vines shade out weeds.

Sweet potatoes are rich in simple starches, complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, beta carotene (vitamin A precursor), vitamins C and B6. Leaves and shoots contain vitamins A, C, B2 and lutein. Tubers, leaves and shoots are all edible!

GOJI JAGODA

Ime Lycium prihaja iz imena Licije, regije v J Anatoliji. Obstaja precej vrst, le nekaj pa jih gojijo zaradi sadežev.

Od začetka 21. stoletja v ZDA in drugih razvitih državah goji jagode pridobivajo na popularnosti, saj vsebujejo veliko mineralov in antioksidantov. Zaradi tega so prisotne v številnih proizvodih. Večina komercialno pridelanih goji jagod prihaja iz Ningxia Hui in Xinjiang Uyghur regij na Kitajskem, kjer jih gojijo na plantažah ob Rumeni Reki že vsaj 600 let.

Goji jagode so eden od super-sadežev in jih pogosto imenujejo 'rdeči diamanti'. Posušene jagode se pred uživanjem prekuha. V kitajski kuhinji jih dodajajo v riževo strjenko, mandljev žele, tonične juhe ali pripravijo skupaj z piščancem ali svinjino, zelenjavo in zelišči kot so divji jam Astragalus membranaceus, Codonopsis pilosula in likorice korenina (Glycirhiza sp.). Iz jagod se lahko skuha zeliščni čaj, ki mu pogosto dodajo cvetove krizantem, rdeče jojobe in pu-erh čaj. Obstajajo tudi različna vina (gouqi jiu) in celo pivo z goji jagodami. Tudi belgijsko Springboard pivo vsebuje goji jagode. Od začetka 21. stoletja na kitajskem proizvajajo tudi instant kavo z goji jagodami. Mlade poganjke in liste jemo kot listnato zelenjavo.

GOJI BERRY

The name Lycium is derived from the southern Anatolian region of Lycia. There are many species but only a few are cultivated for their fruits.

Since the early 21st century in the United States and other developed countries, there has been rapidly growing attention for goji berries for their nutrient value and antioxidant content, leading to a profusion of consumer products. The majority of commercially produced wolfberries come from the Ningxia Hui and Xinjiang Uyghur regions of China, where they have been grown on plantations along the floodplains of the Yellow River for more than 600 years.

Goji berries are one of the superfruits and are often reffered to as 'red diamonds'. Dried berries are cooked before consumption. In Chinese cuisine they are added to rice congee, almond jelly, tonic soups, in combination with chicken or pork, vegetables, and other herbs such as wild yam, Astragalus membranaceus, Codonopsis pilosula and licorice root (Glycirhiza sp.). The berries are boiled as an herbal tea, often with chrysanthemum flowers, red jujubes and pu-erh tea. Various wines (gouqi jiu) and even beer containing wolfberries are also produced. Belgian Springboard ale is made with wolfberries as flavoring. Since the early 21st century, an instant coffee with wolfberry extract has been produced in China. Young shoots and leaves are eaten as a leaf vegetable.
