Plant of the Day

Thursday 25 January 2024

The evergreen shrub Monstera deliciosa (Swiss cheese plant, custard plant, fruit salad plant, Indian ivy, Mexican breadfruit) climbs using aerial roots. This is a commonly grown houseplant with heart-shaped, pinnatisect and often perforated, glossy deep green leaves and there is a variegated form, Monstera deliciosa 'Variegata'.

Surinamese is your number 1? I don't think I've ever tried or even considered Surinamese food. But now I really want to try it knowing that it's someone's number 1. LOL And yes I hear gumbo is supposed to be delicious and flavorful, so I'm not sure what they put in Lewis' gumbo in that video. Traditionally it has all kinds of meat, so maybe the vegan version isn't great because of that (somehow i doubt it).

I've always wanted try grits too. I'm just not thrilled about the texture.

My top 5:

Jamaican

Trinidadian

Italian

Indian

Mexican

Yeah I'm mixed so gotta show some love to Surinamese food and it's truly really good. Also has a lot of Indian influences! Oooohh! I like your top 5 too! I've never eaten anything from Jamaica or Trini, but I do see the first one quite a lot with Spinz haha. What is that huge thing he was eating today? Breadfruit. The name gives the idea it's fruit but I think he put it on the bbq or something? I forgot about Mexican, but indeed that is also so good!!! Too much good food in the world haha.

These two plants that I had grown to this almost specimen size in this monsoon and subsequent months are going to stay with my friend at his home at Kurla from today. I will meet them whenever I visit his home, his Mom is devoted gardener and I’m sure they will be happy with her. Epipremnum aureum, (also known as Devil’s Ivy, golden pothos, Ceylon creeper,hunter's robe, ivy arum, house plant, money plant, silver vine, Solomon Islands ivy, marble queen, and taro vine.)It is called Devil’s vine because it is almost impossible to kill and it stays green even when kept in the dark. It is not Philodendron variety. And the second one in the pictures is Monstera deliciosa.( Fruit Salad Plant. Window Plant. Swiss Cheese Plant. Mexican Breadfruit. Ceriman. Tarovine. ) Called 'Fruit Salad Plant' because the ripened fruit has a pineapple-banana odour and fruit salad taste (avoid eating it though because when it's not ripe yet, the fruit is very poisonous). Monstera has a thick trunk with "fish eyes" that grows on the ground. Wiki explains that ‘The fruit may be ripened by cutting it when the first scales begin to lift up and it begins to exude a pungent odor. It is wrapped in a paper bag and set aside until the scales begin popping off. The scales are then brushed off or fall away to reveal the edible flesh underneath. The flesh, which is similar to pineapple in texture, can be cut away from the core and eaten. It has a fruity taste similar to jackfruit and pineapple. The unripe green fruits can irritate the throat and the latex of the leaves and vines can create rashes in the skin, because both contain potassium oxalate: that is the reason why the fruits have to be consumed when the scales lift up.The black irritant fibres can be swept off with the application of a little citrus juice.’ ‘Dear friend , all the best with a devil and a monster! ‘ I told him ‘ close your eyes and wish anything , these two creatures will fulfill your wish ‘ https://www.instagram.com/p/CYyYcWtPNFk/?utm_medium=tumblr

I want to ask you about monstera's! I went to a ten acre nursery/orchard today and I noticed they had some monstera's growing beneath trees and when I asked the owner if they had any for sale he mentioned that they had a very interesting fruit. anyways I'd always been under the impression that they were an ornamental plant, and had no idea that they bore fruit. and then I thought maybe there were different varieties of monstera and I just thought I'd ask you! bc you seem familiar with them

Nope he was right! Their fruit is actually the reason they're called Monstera deliciosa. And also why they have the common name "Mexican Breadfruit". They aren't likely to fruit as a houseplant but it's supposedly very tasty.

Here's an unripe fruit I saw at a botanical garden:

They get even larger than that and then I believe you have to do some sort of peeling or removal of the outer bit. I don't know what it tastes like but it would be interesting to try!

More calla lilies today, which aren't lilies at all- they're aroids! Members of the Araceae family are commonly known as aroids or arums and have a spadix inflorescence (a fleshy stem covered in tiny flowers) often accompanied by a spathe (a petal- or leaf-like bract curving around the spadix). In monecious aroids, the female flowers are typically at the bottom of the spadix and the male flowers at the top. A number of different species of aroids are eaten around the world, including Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (elephant foot yam), Colocasia esculenta (kochu, taro, dasheen), Xanthosoma (cocoyam, tannia), Typhonium trilobatum and Monstera deliciosa (Mexican breadfruit). Usually the starchy corm is eaten, though leaves and flowers also have culinary uses. #Araceae #callalily #aroids #arums #Zantedeschia #botany #botanize #plants #nature #art #science #scientificillustration #botanicalillustration #illustration #plantart #sketch #inksketch #penandink #brushpen #lineart #linedrawing #ethnobotany #edibleplants https://www.instagram.com/p/BuhZL_3FFaG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fo24e0pckabm

Taro root, also called eddo or dasheen, is an edible rootlike plant stem from the Araceae family. Food plants in this family are typically underground stem crops that are high in starch, like the elephant foot yam and the Mexican breadfruit. It is thought that taro has been cultivated as early as 5000 BCE in Southeast Asia, South India, and Africa.  Ever since Polynesian travelers brought this starchy root vegetable on their journey to the Pacific Islands, taro became an important part of the diet within Hawaiian culture. The leaves and roots of taro were used in traditional herbal medicines for digestive issues like diarrhea and wound care. While the main carbohydrate form in taro is starch, it is a highly digestible fibrous food that presents part of the starch in a resistant form. Resistant starch can be liberated from the small intestine and be fermented in the colon to cause several beneficial health effects like probiotic function, improving mineral absorption, and maintaining blood glycemia.* Taro has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor profile that is often consumed as a cooked vegetable, or incorporated in dessert puddings and bread.

Also went to try Breadfruit, it was yummy but a bit expensive compared to Mexican prices. We ordered the piggies in a blanket, meatballs and spaghetti, falafel bites and the enchiladas filled with soyrizo, chickn and beans which were my least favorite. Everything else was super tasty 🍝🌯🌭

Monstera deliciosa is a species of flowering plant native to tropical rainforests of southern Mexico, south to Panama. Common names include fruit salad plant, fruit salad tree (in reference to its edible fruit, which tastes similar to a fruit salad), ceriman, Swiss cheese plant (or just cheese plant), monster fruit, monsterio delicio, monstereo, Mexican breadfruit, locust and wild honey, windowleaf, balazo, and Penglai banana. The pod it produces has a fruity taste similar to jackfruit and pineapple. The unripe green fruits can irritate the throat and the latex of the leaves and vines can create rashes in the skin, because both contain potassium oxalate: that is the reason why the fruits have to be consumed when the scales lift up. #growninhaiti #mexicanjackfruit #monsteradeliciosa #haiti #ayiti #wild #organic #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides #preservation #reforestation #edible
