葫芦汤




葫芦(学名:Lagenaria siceraria),別稱蒲瓜、瓠瓜等,是属于葫芦科葫芦属的一种植物,它是爬藤植物,其果实也被称为葫芦。

估计它来源于非洲。在中国河南考古遗址出土的葫芦皮最早的是七至八千年前的。中国最早将葫芦称为瓠、匏和壶。

葫芦的果实可以在未成熟的时候收割作为蔬菜食用。新鲜的葫芦皮嫩绿,果肉白色。此外葫芦的藤和叶也可以食用。

在所有出产葫芦的地区葫芦均被当作容器使用。木质化的葫芦可以用来承水、承酒、当作水杯、水壶使用。

一块钱一大把的空心菜,炒出来一大碟,吃到呱呱叫!

空心菜,也称蕹菜(學名:Ipomoea aquatica),马来文称kangkong,红毛人叫water spinach   Chinese spinach


听说空心菜含多维生素A、B群,铁、钙、钾、镁、磷等矿物质。不过必须煮熟,以减低Fasciolopsis buski姜片虫感染。

Sisso Spinach






Sissoo spinach, also known as Brazilian spinach, Sambu or Samba lettuce, is a tropical edible groundcover of the genus Alternanthera  used as a leaf vegetable.


The leaves are crunchy, slightly more so than the temperate climate spinach, and not slimy. Some cultivars are slightly bitter. They require steaming or boiling when eaten in large quantities because of the presence of oxalates.  It is eaten alone as a green or added to other dishes as a spinach substitute.  Brazilians usually eat it raw in salads with oil and or vinegar, tomato, and onion, although the literature recommends cooking it. Sissoo spinach can be added to quiches, pies, curries, dals, pasta sauces, lasagna or added to dishes and stir-fries late in the cooking process as a spinach substitute and to add a nutty flavour.
