Bunga Kantan

Bunga Kantan, known as Tourch Ginger is the most beautiful, wild and edible flower in the rainforest of Malaysia.

Now it's no longer wild as it's being planted. Bunga Kantan is from the Ginger family.

The flowers of the torch ginger are produced in an interesting way. The ‘inflorescence’ or complete flower-head of the plant rises from beneath the ground like a spear. From the striking resemblance to a flaming torch, it is not difficult to see how this common ginger got its name. Here, the torch ginger is more popularly known beyond its ornamental value. 


The young flowering shoot (bud) of the torch ginger is an important ingredient for the rojak and laksa, which are quintessential dishes of Malaysia and Singapore. The bud is finely chopped, mixed and used as a dressing and its aroma gives that rojak or Asian salad a distinctive flavor, masking the smell of the dark pasty prawn base.

Hass Avocado

 
Hass Avocado, need no introduction. It's the King of Avocado. 95% of the global commercially planted Avocado is Hass.

Hass had some other big advantages over other avocado. The trees grow vigorously, are easy to propagate and produce an impressive amount of fruit by only the second or third season. They have a longer harvest season than other avocados and, perhaps most importantly, the Hass's thicker skin makes it superior to handle and ship long distances.

Hass avocados have a pebbly skin that ripens from green to deep purple or nearly black, and they can vary in size from 140 gm to 340 gm. Although the skin is thick, it is relatively easy to peel. The flesh closest to the skin is pale green, and as it nears the medium-sized central stone it develops a yellow undertone. The flesh is soft, creamy, and barely fibrous, with good oil content. The flavor is rich and nutty with a slightly sweet finish.

The Hass avocado tree is a desirable fast-growing tree that produces high-quality, rough-skinned fruit with a long shelf life. Hass avocado trees are medium, spreading, evergreen trees that reaches 12 M in height and 11 M wide.
