Elephant Foot (Sandi)

 


When I was in my dad’s village, I went to the traditional market there. We bought some stuff, mostly foodstuff for our supply back home in Jakarta. We bought some stuff that can’t be found in Jakarta then I found this big thing as I thought it was Cassava. My dad told me it was “Suweg” in Javanese. This foodstuff is really big and heavy. I’m still curious after buying this then did a little google research about it. So, in International, it’s called Elephant Foot Yam. No wonder it’s called “elephant foot” when you look at this big thing. This foodstuff is in a similar genus as the “Konnyaku” main ingredient, Amorphophallus. For “Konnyaku” itself, it’s called “Porang” in Indonesia. “Porang” and this Elephant Foot Yam really look alike. The simple difference between those is the tuber texture of elephant foot yam is rougher and the color inside of the tuber is orange. Most people in the village eat this elephant foot yam as a substitute for rice or heavy meal. I have tasted it and it was delicious. It’s a very good choice for those who want to start a diet, I think.

With a budget of 1.5 billion CFA francs, this project, which benefits from the technical support of the Japanese Development Agency (JICA), has seen its 3-year implementation period extended to 5 years, due to the encouraging results already obtained, according to sources. The objective of this extension, according to Proderip, is to reach the milestone of 9,000 producers trained in the cultivation of rainfed rice, which has the particularity of growing on dry land and not exclusively in irrigated areas as is the case with traditional seed varieties. In addition, Proderip experts point out, rainfed rice, which currently produces around 48,000 ton...

  December 17 th  and 18 th  I and some laboratory member participated UNPAD conference. This conference is held two days. 1 st  day I listen 4 presentation from Prof Ph.D and Dr. They talked related to climate change. The next program was presentation by student.
