Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manufacture of Poi From Taro in Hawaii: With Special Emphasis Upon Its Fermentation The colocasias or taros are generally considered to be the most important group of the edible aroids. The plant is common in various tropical regions, approximately 300 distinct varieties being known according to Barrett A botanical description of the plant and a summary of the conditions under which it thrives best will not be considered here. The interested reader is referred to the works of Higgins (21) and Sedgwick (37) on these subjects. When or how the taro came to Hawaii is not known. In View of its distinct place in the lives of the Polynesian races there is reason to believe that taro was carried by them to, various South Sea Islands, whence it rapidly spread to other tropical islands, including Hawan. Brown (12) states that the taro was introduced into the Marquesas Islands from Hawaii by Tueni, a Hawaiian who came ashore in the valley of Hakaui (marquesas) from a burning ship bringing the Hawaiian taro with him. The dasheen is probably the best known of the taros in temperate regions. It has recently attracted attention in the southeastern United States as a possible substitute for the com mon potato. The term dasheen is thought by Young (47) to have been derived from the expression dc Chine, thus signifying that this particular variety came from China. Barrett (5) recognizes as the only difference between taro and dasheen the presence of small tuberous outgrowths on the corms of the latter. Apparently there is little difference between the true taro and the dasheen, and in this bulletin the terms dasheen and taro are used synonomously.

Download or read book Mastering the Art of French Cooking Volume 1 written by Julia Child and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The definitive cookbook on French cuisine for American readers: "What a cookbook should be: packed with sumptuous recipes, detailed instructions, and precise line drawings. Some of the instructions look daunting, but as Child herself says in the introduction, 'If you can read, you can cook.'" —Entertainment Weekly “I only wish that I had written it myself.” —James Beard Featuring 524 delicious recipes and over 100 instructive illustrations to guide readers every step of the way, Mastering the Art of French Cooking offers something for everyone, from seasoned experts to beginners who love good food and long to reproduce the savory delights of French cuisine. Julia Child, Simone Beck, and Louisette Bertholle break down the classic foods of France into a logical sequence of themes and variations rather than presenting an endless and diffuse catalogue of dishes—from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. Throughout, the focus is on key recipes that form the backbone of French cookery and lend themselves to an infinite number of elaborations—bound to increase anyone’s culinary repertoire. “Julia has slowly but surely altered our way of thinking about food. She has taken the fear out of the term ‘haute cuisine.’ She has increased gastronomic awareness a thousandfold by stressing the importance of good foundation and technique, and she has elevated our consciousness to the refined pleasures of dining." —Thomas Keller, The French Laundry

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While everyone knows fruits and vegetables are beneficial to good health, it's increasingly seen as important to know which ones can be effective in treating specific illnesses. For example, which are good for cardiac care? Which can help combat and treat asthma? What are the safety concerns to be aware of when using herbs in combination with traditional medicines?Diet and nutrition are vital keys to controlling or promoting morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases, and the multitude of biomolecules in dietary fruits and vegetables play a crucial role in health maintenance. They may, therefore, be more effective and certainly could have different actions beyond nutrients however this science is still evolving. This book brings together experts working on the different aspects of supplementation, foods, and plant extracts, in health promotion and disease prevention. Their expertise and experience provide the most current knowledge to promote future research. Dietary habits need to be altered, for most people and the conclusions and recommendations from the various chapters in this book will provide a basis for that change.The overall goal of this book is to provide the most current, concise, scientific appraisal of the efficacy of key foods and constituents medicines in dietary plants in preventing disease and improving the quality of life. While vegetables have traditionally been seen to be good sources of vitamins, the roles of other constituents have only recently become more widely recognized.

Download or read book Small scale Processing And Storage Of Tropical Root Crops written by Donald Plucknett and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical root crops—basic staples for millions of people—are highly perishable, and tremendous losses occur after harvest because of the lack of storage and processing technology. This book is the first to fully describe small-scale processing and storage methods for these root crops, particularly taro, sweet potato, and yams. The authors emphasize methods of handling and preserving the crops that require little in the way of energy or technology, and they discuss traditional methods of storage and processing in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. They also describe small machines suitable for processing and highlight examples of higher-level technology. The book is a milestone in the search for ways to appropriately modernize traditional agriculture and food systems.
