<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <h2><strong>Brown Aromatic, Jasmine Rice Seeds Heirloom Non-Gmo</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 20 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p><span>Jasmine rice (Thai: </span><span>ข้าวหอมมะลิ</span><span>, rtgs: Khao hom mali, Thai pronunciation: [kʰâːw hɔ̌ːm malíʔ]; Chinese: 泰国香米; Tàiguó xiāngmǐ) is a variety of fragrant rice (also known as aromatic rice). Its fragrance, reminiscent of pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius) and popcorn, results from the rice plant's natural production of aromatic compounds, of which 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline is the most salient. In typical packaging and storage, these aromatic compounds dissipate within a few months. This rapid loss of aromatic intensity leads many Southeast Asians and connoisseurs to prefer each year's freshly harvested "new crop" of jasmine rice.</span></p> <p><span>Jasmine rice is a variety of Oryza sativa. The name "jasmine" refers to the color of the rice, which is as white as the jasmine flower.</span></p> <p><span>Jasmine rice is grown primarily in Thailand (Thai hom mali or Thai fragrant rice), Cambodia (angkor kra'oup or Cambodian jasmine rice), Laos, and southern Vietnam. It is moist and soft in texture when cooked, with a slightly sweet flavor. The grains cling and are somewhat sticky when cooked, though less sticky than glutinous rice (Oryza sativa var. glutinosa), as it has less amylopectin. It is about three times stickier than American long-grain rice.</span></p> <p><span>To harvest jasmine rice, the long stalks are cut and threshed. The rice can then be left in a hulled form called paddy rice, de-hulled to produce brown rice, or milled to remove the germ and some or all of the bran, producing white rice.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Types</span></strong></p> <p><span>Thai jasmine rice and Cambodian rice share many of the same characteristics and grow mainly in neighboring geographic areas on opposite sides of the northeastern Thai-Cambodian border. Cambodian jasmine rice is cultivated in Cambodia and processed as white (milled and polished) and brown rice. Distinct Cambodian jasmine rice varieties include these three, phka rumduol, phka romeat, and phka rumdeng. Recent DNA fingerprint analysis, carried out with 18 markers, shows that all three varieties possess 18 known fragrance alleles. Two varietals (phka rumduol and phka rumdeng) are distinctly Cambodian with 17 markers in identical positions, with Thai jasmine rice and one fragrance marker each in a different position. The analysis of Cambodian phka romeat shows all 18 markers in identical positions with the trademarked Thai jasmine rice Thai hom mali.[8]</span></p> <p><span>Jasmine rice, though grown in Laos and southern Vietnam, is not the predominant rice variety. Glutinous rice is grown in Laos, and regular Oryza sativa predominates in Vietnam.</span></p> <p><span>Thai jasmine rice from Thailand has a slender shape and a jasmine scent.[9]:12-13 The two types of Thai jasmine rice are white and brown.[10] The vast majority of jasmine rice exported overseas to North America and Europe is Thai jasmine rice, with a small minority from Vietnam. In Thailand it is thought that only Surin, Buriram, and Sisaket Provinces can produce high quality hom mali.</span></p> <p><strong><span>White jasmine rice</span></strong></p> <p><span>White jasmine rice is white, has a jasmine flower aroma and, when cooked, a slightly sticky texture.[9]:8-13 The aroma is caused by the evaporation of 2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline.[9]:8-13</span></p> <p><strong><span>Brown jasmine rice</span></strong></p> <p><span>Brown jasmine rice retains the light tan outer layer on the rice grain. It has greater health benefits than white jasmine rice because it still has the bran. Brown jasmine rice has a flavor like oats and contains gamma oryzanol which can decrease cholesterol in blood vessels.[14] Brown jasmine rice has vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin B, and beta-carotene and it contains antioxidants which support the working of nervous system.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Glycemic index</span></strong></p> <p><span>Jasmine rice has a glycemic index of 68-80.[16] Foods with a glycemic index of 70 or lower are preferred in the diet of diabetics due to their slower absorption which prevents large spikes in blood sugar after consumption. Not all rice has a high glycemic index. Basmati rice, for example, has a relatively low glycemic index of 59. However, it is uncommon for rice to be eaten alone. It is usually eaten with other foods that can reduce its glycemic index by 20-40 percent.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Culinary uses</span></strong></p> <p><span>Steamed jasmine rice is ideal for eating with stir fries, with grilled, fried, or braised food items, and in soups (when cooked slightly drier by adding a little less water during cooking). It often doesn't fare well when used for fried rice, as it is too soft and soggy when still warm. More experienced cooks will use rice that has been cooled down first for making fried rice.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Recognition</span></strong></p> <p><span>At the 2017 World Rice Conference held in Macau, Thailand's hom mali 105 (jasmine) rice was declared the world's best rice, beating 21 competitors.[19] Thailand had entered three rice varieties in the competition. This marks the fifth time in the last nine years that Thai jasmine rice has won the honour.[20] The judges of the competition were chefs from Macau restaurants. Criteria were taste and the shape of the rice grains. Cambodia finished second, Vietnam third.</span></p>

Această plantă este cunoscută în limba engleză sub numele de spanac de apă, spanac de râu, glorie de dimineață de apă, convolvulus de apă, sau cu denumirile mai ambigue de spanac chinezesc, nasturel chinezesc, convolvulus chinezesc sau varză de mlaștină, sau kangkong în Asia de Sud-Est și ong choy în cantoneză.</p> <p>Spanacul de apă va produce mase de lăstari și frunze fragede, bogate în vitamine și minerale, și are o aromă dulce plăcută și o textură ușor alunecoasă, care contrastează bine cu claritatea tulpinilor atunci când sunt gătite. Frunzele și lăstarii pot fi folosiți crudi în salate, aburi sau prăjiți ca spanacul.</p> <p>Hrana animalelor</p> <p>Spanacul de apă este hrănit animalelor ca furaje verzi cu valoare nutritivă ridicată - în special frunzele, deoarece acestea sunt o sursă bună de caroten. Se hrănește cu bovine, porci, pești, rațe și pui. Mai mult, se menționează că, în cantități limitate, I. Aquatica poate avea un efect oarecum laxativ.</p> <p>Utilizare medicamentoasă</p> <p>I. Aquatica este utilizată în medicina tradițională din Asia de Sud-Est și în medicina tradițională a unor țări din Africa. În medicina din sud-estul Asiei este utilizat împotriva grămezilor și sângerărilor nazale, ca antihelmintic, și pentru tratarea tensiunii arteriale ridicate. În Ayurveda, extractele de frunze sunt utilizate împotriva icterului și a debilității nervoase. [51] În medicina indigenă din Sri Lanka, spanacul de apă ar trebui să aibă proprietăți asemănătoare insulinei. Extractele de apă din I. Aquatica au prezentat un efect de scădere a zahărului din sânge la șobolanii Wistar. Un suc apos de 100g material vegetal a fost administrat cu 30 de minute înainte de a consuma glucoză la 2 pacienți cu diabet zaharat. După 2 ore s-a putut observa că nivelul maxim al glicemiei a fost redus cu aproximativ 30%.</p> <p>De asemenea, compușii bioactivi antioxidanți și substanțele antimicrobiene ar putea fi detectate în spanacul de apă. [53] Mai mult, extractele din plante de spanac de apă inhibă creșterea celulelor canceroase ale celulelor Vero, Hep-2 și A-549, deși au o activitate moderată anti-cancer.</p> <p>Semănat și plantat:</p> <p>Semințele pot fi înmuiate timp de 24 de ore înainte de însămânțare pentru a încuraja germinarea. Cerința de temperatură a solului pentru germinare este de 20 ° C.</p> <p>Când precipitațiile sunt scăzute, irigările abundente frecvente sunt necesare pentru plantele de înaltă calitate.</p> <p>Pentru a produce răsaduri puternice, semințele ar trebui să fie semănate cu adâncimi de 5-10 mm în tăvi cu un amestec de ghiveci suficient de adânc pentru a permite plantelor să dezvolte un sistem radicular bun. Transplantul ar trebui să aibă loc când plantele au 10-15 cm înălțime, cu patru frunze adevărate. Randamentele cele mai mari se obțin prin distanțarea plantelor la 15x15cm. De asemenea, pot fi cultivate în rânduri la aproximativ 30 cm distanță, cu plante la o distanță de 20 cm în rânduri.</p>

<h2><strong>Black Rice Royal Pearl Seeds</strong></h2> <h2 class=""><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 50 (1g) seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p><span>Royal Pearl Rice is an aromatic rice with a nutty aroma. The delectable taste and smell of this rice is perfect for all types of dishes especially Asian and Thai cuisine.</span></p> <p><span>Oryza sativa, commonly known as Asian rice, is the plant species most commonly referred to in English as rice. Oryza sativa is a grass with a genome consisting of 430Mb across 12 chromosomes. It is renowned for being easy to genetically modify, and is a model organism for cereal biology.</span></p> <p><span>Debates on the origins of the domesticated rice are numerous. In 2011, genetic evidence showed that all forms of Asian rice, both indica and japonica, sprang from a single domestication that occurred 8,200–13,500 years ago in China of the wild rice Oryza rufipogon.[5] A 2012 study, through a map of rice genome variation, indicated that the domestication of rice occurred in the Pearl River valley region of China. From East Asia, rice was spread to South and Southeast Asia.[6] Before this research, the commonly accepted view, based on archaeological evidence, is that rice was first domesticated in the region of the Yangtze River valley in China.</span></p> <p><span>The precise date of the first domestication is unknown, but depending on the molecular clock estimate, the date is estimated to be 8,200 to 13,500 years ago. This is consistent with known archaeological data on the subject.</span></p> <p><span>An older theory, based on one chloroplast and two nuclear gene regions, Londo et al. (2006) had proposed that O. sativa rice was domesticated at least twice—indica in eastern India, Myanmar, and Thailand; and japonica in southern China and Vietnam—though they concede that archaeological and genetic evidence exist for a single domestication of rice in the lowlands of China.</span></p> <p><span>Because the functional allele for nonshattering, the critical indicator of domestication in grains, as well as five other single-nucleotide polymorphisms, is identical in both indica and japonica, Vaughan et al. (2008) determined a single domestication event for O. sativa happened in the region of the Yangtze River valley.</span></p> <p><span>In 2003, Korean archaeologists alleged they discovered burnt grains of domesticated rice in Soro-ri, Korea, which dated to 13,000 BC. These antedate the oldest grains in China, which were dated to 10,000 BC, and potentially challenge the mainstream explanation that domesticated rice originated in China. The findings were received by academia with strong skepticism.</span></p><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

Cassava is well adapted within latitudes 30° north and south of the equator, at elevations between sea level and 2,000&nbsp;m (6,600&nbsp;ft) above sea level, in equatorial temperatures, with rainfalls from 50&nbsp;mm (2.0&nbsp;in) to 5&nbsp;m (16&nbsp;ft) annually, and to poor soils with a pH ranging from acidic to alkaline. These conditions are common in certain parts of Africa and South America.</p> <p>Cassava is a highly-productive crop when considering food calories produced per unit land area, per unit of time. Significantly higher than other staple crops, cassava can produce food calories at rates exceeding 250,000 kcal/hectare/day, as compared with 176,000 for rice, 110,000 for wheat and 200,000 for maize (corn).</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Economic_importance">Economic importance</span></h2> <div class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also:<span>&nbsp;</span>Tapioca §&nbsp;Production</div> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Manihot_esculenta_-_cross_section_2.jpg/220px-Manihot_esculenta_-_cross_section_2.jpg" width="220" height="146" class="thumbimage"> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> A cassava tuber in cross-section</div> </div> </div> <p>Cassava,<span>&nbsp;</span>yams<span>&nbsp;</span>(<i>Dioscorea</i><span>&nbsp;</span>spp.), and<span>&nbsp;</span>sweet potatoes<span>&nbsp;</span>(<i>Ipomoea batatas</i>) are important sources of food in the tropics.

Its wide harvesting window allows it to act as a famine reserve and is invaluable in managing labor schedules. It offers flexibility to resource-poor farmers because it serves as either a subsistence or a cash crop.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference">[25]</sup></p> <p>Worldwide, 800 million people depend on cassava as their primary food staple.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference">[26]</sup><span>&nbsp;</span>No continent depends as much on root and tuber crops in feeding its population as does Africa. In the humid and sub-humid areas of tropical Africa, it is either a primary staple food or a secondary costaple. In<span>&nbsp;</span>Ghana, for example, cassava and yams occupy an important position in the agricultural economy and contribute about 46 percent of the agricultural gross domestic product. Cassava accounts for a daily caloric intake of 30 percent in<span>&nbsp;</span>Ghanaand is grown by nearly every farming family. The importance of cassava to many Africans is epitomised in the<span>&nbsp;</span>Ewe<span>&nbsp;</span>(a language spoken in Ghana,<span>&nbsp;</span>Togo<span>&nbsp;</span>and<span>&nbsp;</span>Benin) name for the plant,<span>&nbsp;</span><i>agbeli</i>, meaning "there is life".</p> <p>In<span>&nbsp;</span>Tamil Nadu, India, there are many cassava processing factories alongside<span>&nbsp;</span>National Highway 68<span>&nbsp;</span>between<span>&nbsp;</span>Thalaivasal<span>&nbsp;</span>and<span>&nbsp;</span>Attur.

Este una dintre cele patru plante cunoscute sub numele de „galangal", și se diferențiază de celelalte cu numele comune lengkuas, galangal mai mare, și ghimbir albastru.<br /><br />Numele „galangal” este probabil derivat din persană qulanjan sau arabic khalanjan, care la rândul său poate fi o adaptare a chinezei gao liang jiang. Numele sale din India provin din aceeași rădăcină, inclusiv kulanja în sanscrit, kulanjan în hindi, și kholinjan în Urdu.[2]<br /><br />Numele „lengkuas”, pe de altă parte, este derivat din Malay lengkuas, care este derivat din Proto-Malayo-polinezian occidental * laŋkuas, cu înrudite inclusiv Ilokano langkuás; Tagalog, Bikol, Kapampangan, Visayan, și Manobo langkáuas sau langkáwas; Aklanon eangkawás; Kadazan Dusun hongkuas; Ida'an lengkuas; Ngaju Dayak langkuas; și Iban engkuas. Unele dintre nume au devenit generalizate și se aplică și altor specii de Alpinia cât și pentru Curcuma zedoaria.[3]<br /><br />Alpinia galanga se mai numește Laos Javaneză și laja în Sundaneză. Alte nume includ romdeng (រំដេង) în Cambodgia; pa de kaw (ပ တဲ ကော) în Myanmar; kha în Tailanda; nankyo în Japonia; și hong dou kou în Chineză mandarină.[4] În Tamilă este cunoscut sub numele de „பேரரத்தை sau பெரியரத்தை” („Pae-reeya-ra-thai), utilizat pe scară largă în Medicina Siddha iar în culinare.<br /><br />Istoria domesticirii<br />Lengkuas este originar din Asia de Sud-Est. Centrul său original de cultivare în timpul comerțul cu condimente a fost Java, iar astăzi este încă cultivat pe scară largă în Insula Asiei de Sud-Est, mai ales în Insulele Sunda mari si Filipine. Cultivarea sa s-a răspândit și în Asia de Sud-Est continentală, mai ales Tailanda.[5][6] Lengkuas este, de asemenea, sursa frunzelor folosite pentru a face nanel printre Oameni Kavalan de Taiwan, un instrument cu frunze laminate folosit ca jucărie tradițională pentru copii obișnuită printre Culturi austronesiene.[7]<br /><br />Descriere<br />Planta crește din rizomi în ciorchini de tulpini rigide de până la 2 metri (6 ft 7 in) înălțime cu frunze lungi abundente care dau fructe roșii. Rizomul acestei plante este „galangalul” folosit cel mai des în bucătărie. Este apreciat pentru utilizarea sa în alimente și Medicină tradițională, și este considerat ca fiind superior lui ghimbir.[de cine?] Rizomul are un miros înțepător și un gust puternic care amintește de piper negru și ace de pin. Soiurile roșii și albe sunt adesea utilizate diferit, soiurile roșii fiind în primul rând medicinale, iar soiurile albe în principal ca condiment.[5][6] Fructul roșu este folosit în Medicină tradițională chinezească și are o aromă similară cu cardamom.<br /><br />Utilizări culinare<br />Rizomul este un ingredient comun în Curry thailandez și supe precum tom kha kai, unde este folosit proaspăt în bucăți sau tăiat în felii subțiri, piure și amestecat în pasta de curry. Indoneziană rendang este condimentat de obicei cu galangal.[este necesară citarea]<br /><br />Medicină tradițională<br />Sub denumirile „mestecat Ioan”, „micul Ioan de mestecat” și „rădăcină de judecată”, este folosit în Afro-american Medicina traditionala și Hoodoo magie populară.[este necesară citarea] În Medicina Unani „A.Galanga” este numit „Khulanjan” și acțiunile și utilizările sale au fost menționate în multe literaturi clasice unani precum Al qanun fittib Canonul Medicinii, maghzanul mufradath etc. Este considerat ca Muqawwi qalb (tonic cardiac), mufarreh, munaffise balgam, muqawwi meda, muqawwi bah etc. Astm, tuse, dureri în gât și alte boli. Preparatele renumite de droguri unani cu Khulanjan ca ingredient includ Habb e Jadwar, Jawarish Jalinus, Jawarish Ood shirin etc.<br /><br />Ayurveda consideră A. galanga (Sanscrit:-rasna) ca medicament Vata Shamana. Cunoscut ca பேரரத்தை (perarathai) în tamilă, această formă de ghimbir este folosită cu rădăcină de lemn dulce, numită în tamilă athi-mathuram (Glycyrrhiza glabra) ca medicină populară pentru răceli și dureri de gât.<br /><br />Farmacologie potențială<br />S-a demonstrat că rizomul este slab antimalarică activitate la șoareci.<br /><br />S-a demonstrat că un extract de etanol al rizomului crește numărul de spermatozoizi la șobolani.<br /><br />Constituenți chimici<br />Alpinia galanga rizomul conține flavonol galangin.<br /><br />Rizomul conține un ulei cunoscut sub numele de galangol, care pe distilație fracțională produce cineol (care are proprietăți medicinale), pinene, și eugenol, printre alții.</p> <script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>
