Sweet potato

[Ana]

Za taranu, ispešli.

Ti si čovek zemljoradnik, razumeš se u uslove i useve. Bi li mogla biljka iz naslova kod nas da uspeva?

Batat (lat. Ipomoea batatas) je višegodišnja biljka iz porodice Convolvulaceae.

Korijen i mlado lišće koriste se u prehrani. Može se kuhati, peći i pržiti. Sadrži mnogo škroba, vitamina A, C i B, željeza i kalcija te male količine šećera. Ima jako veliku nutricionističku vrijednost. Dobra je hrana i za dijabetičare. Potječe iz tropskih područja Južne Amerike. Ljudi ga upotrebljavaju već najmanje 5,000 godina i danas je široka raširena kultura u tropskim krajevima svijeta. Najveći svjetski proizvođači su Kina (80% svjetske proizvodnje), Indonezija i Uganda. Najviše se jede po stanovniku na Solomonskim otocima (160 kg po osobi godišnje) i u Burundiju (130 kg po osobi godišnje).

U Hrvatskoj se komercijalno proizvodi od 2006. u Slatini. Najbolje uspijeva na temperaturi oko 25°C. Osjetljiv je na niske temperature. Može uspijevati i u tlima siromašnim hranjivim tvarima. Koristi se i u prehrani životinja.

Origin, distribution and diversity

Sweet potatoes are native to the tropical parts of South America, and were domesticated there at least 5000 years ago.[2]

Austin (1988) postulated that the centre of origin of I. batatas was between the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico and the mouth of the Orinoco River in Venezuela. The 'cultigen' had most likely been spread by local people to the Caribbean and South America by 2500 BC. Zhang et al. (1998) provided strong supporting evidence that the geographical zone postulated by Austin is the primary centre of diversity. The much lower molecular diversity found in Peru-Ecuador suggests that this region be considered as secondary centre of sweet potato diversity.

The sweet potato was also grown before western exploration in Polynesia, where it is known as the kumara. Sweet potato has been radiocarbon-dated in the Cook Islands to 1,000 AD, and current thinking is that it was brought to central Polynesia circa 700 AD, possibly by Polynesians who had traveled to South America and back, and spread across Polynesia to Hawaii and New Zealand from there.[3] It is possible however, that South Americans brought it to the Pacific. The theory that the plant could spread by floating seeds across the ocean is not supported by evidence. Another point is that the sweet potato in Polynesia is the cultivated Ipomoea batatas, which is generally spread by vine cuttings, and not by seeds.[4]

Sweet potatoes are now cultivated throughout tropical and warm temperate regions wherever there is sufficient water to support their growth.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) statistics, world production in 2004 was 127,000,000 tonnes.[5] The majority comes from China, with a production of 105,000,000 tonnes from 49,000 km2. About half of the Chinese crop is used for livestock feed.[2]

Per-capita production is greatest in countries where sweet potatoes are a staple of human consumption, led by Papua New Guinea at 550 kg[6] per person per year, the Solomon Islands at 160 kg, Burundi and Rwanda[7] at 130 kg and Uganda at 100 kg.

About 20,000 tonnes of sweet potatoes are produced annually in New Zealand, where sweet potato is known by its Māori name, kūmara. It was a staple food for Māori before European contact.[8]

In the U.S., North Carolina, the leading state in sweet potato production, provided 38.5% of the 2007 U.S. production of sweet potatoes. California, Louisiana, and Mississippi compete closely with each other in production. Louisiana has been a long-time major producer, once second only to North Carolina, and closely followed by California, until the latter began surpassing it in 2002. In 2007, California produced 23%, Louisiana 15.9%, and Mississippi 19% of the U.S. total.[9][10]

The town of Opelousas, Louisiana's "Yambilee" has been celebrated every October since 1946. The Frenchmen who established the first settlement at Opelousas in 1760 discovered the native Attakapas, Alabama, Choctaw, and Opelousas tribes eating sweet potatoes. The sweet potato became a favourite food item of the French and Spanish settlers, and thus continued a long history of cultivation in Louisiana.[11]

Mississippi has about 150 farmers presently growing sweet potatoes on about 8,200 acres (33 km2), contributing $19 million dollars to the state's economy. Mississippi's top five sweet potato producing counties are Calhoun, Chickasaw, Pontotoc, Yalobusha, and Panola. The National Sweet Potato Festival is held annually the entire first week in November in Vardaman (Calhoun County), which proclaims itself as "The Sweet Potato Capital".

The town of Benton, Kentucky celebrates the sweet potato annually with its Tater Day Festival on the first Monday of April. The town of Gleason, Tennessee celebrates the sweet potato on Labor Day weekend with its Tater Town Special.

Hvala, Ini. Dakle, isključivo staklenik. Onda pretpostavljam da nema ekonomske logike, kao biznis ideja. Šteta :(

sweet potato... to sam ovde prvi put jeo. nije lose. meni se najvise dopao kao slatkis (to sam jeo u Koreji), iseckas ga na kockice, umocis u malo secerne/medene vodice i malo zaprzis. cudi me da zahteva tako drugacije uslove od obicnog krompira, al' sta zna dete iz grada.

za staklenkike i ekonomsku isplativost ne znam. negde sam citao o nekom kinezu koji kod Surcina gaji razne kineske biljke za kineze u Srbiji i covek pravi prilicne pare.

[Hate mail]

Odlicna stvar.  :)

[Ana]

Thx, Alane  xremyb Probaću i tako, samo kad ga nađem :)

[Ana]

Ipak izgleda može da se gaji, tako što se seje u proleće i bere u jesen.

Taraaaaaančeeeeeeeee, deder računicu na sunce :)

[Jelence]

Ja ga prvim umesto krompira (ili "kao da je krompir" - samo sto se brze skuva od krompira): isecem sa ostalim povrcem (sargarepa, tikva, itd) sa crnim lukom i maslinovim uljem u zatvorenu posudu pa u rernu. Kad izvadim iz rerne dodam korijander (moze, pretpostavljam, i persun).

Druga varijanta  je ukusnija jer ide vise maslinovog ulja - kao zapeceni krompir u rerni. Zacini koje voli sweet potato je lovorov list i cumin. (Cumin stavljam i u krompir).

Moze se naravno i prziti, i to slatko kao sto je alan kaz'o.

Ova druga varijanta ide odlicno sa ribom kuvanom u kokosovom mleku.

Za ovu ribu čekam da ti dođem u goste  xrotaeye

Hvala, drugari  xremyb

[Jelence]

Joj znas kako je jednostavan recept.

Ja stalno lovim recepte za ribu jer sam utripovala da nemam siroki izbor nacina da pravim ribu.

E jedared smo tako narucili ribu u kokosovom mleku u Thai restoranu. Toliko nam se dopala da smo pokusali da nabodemo zacine i mislim da smo ih sve po'vatali:
beli luk (sitno seckan, ili rendan)
ginger (djumbir - ja ga rendam)
coriander (kineski persun)
lemon grass (gde ima Kineza imas i lemon grass da kupis)
kokosovo mleko

Ovaj recept ide dobro uz filete od bele ribe. Ne ide uz salmon, salmon je previse aromatican za kokosovo mleko.

(Ja ti opisujem recept da kad dodjes mozes da nam napravis rucak   :mrgreen:  )

[Ana]

E pa hvala. Koliko kokosovog mleka, i baš je kuvam u tome?  xrofl

[Jelence]

Ja napravim "camcice" (male camce) od folije ili jos bolje (ako u SER ima da se kupi) masni papir koji se stavi u tepsiju kada se prave kolaci.
Mali camac se pravi tako sto se riba stavi uzduzno na papir (papir treba da bude duzi za oko 5-7 cm sa obe strane da ima sta da se uvrce kad riba "legne" na papir). Onda ce levi i desni kraj "zavernu". Na ovaj nacin riba je zatvorena u papiru (ili foliji, papir je bolji jer se riba ne zalepi) i kuva se u mleku i svojim sokovima.

Kad kazem "kuva" nikad nisam sigirna dal mislim na serpu ili na rernu. U ovom slucaju mislim na rernu.

Treba mi 1.25 dl kokosovog mleka za tri izdasna parceta ribe.

Fala darling. Ima da se kupi. Probam  xremyb
