How many of you know what is petai and jering?

Answers:
Parkia speciosa (petai, twisted cluster bean, yongchaak or stink bean), is a plant of the genus Parkia in the family Fabaceae. It bears long, flat edible beans with bright green seeds the size and shape of plump almonds which have a rather peculiar smell.
They are an acquired taste, but are popular in southern Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia and North-eastern India and are sold in bunches, still in the pod, or the seeds are sold in plastic bags. They are exported in jars or cans, pickled in brine.
Depending on the country of origin they may be labelled peteh, petai, yongchaak or sataw (sometimes spelled sator). They are best when combined with other strong flavoured foods such as garlic, chile peppers, and dried shrimp, as in "sambal petai" or added to a Thai curry such as Thai Green Curry of Duck. When young the pods are flat because the seeds have not yet developed, and they hang like a bunch of slightly twisted ribbons, pale green, almost translucent. At this stage they may be eaten raw, fried or pickled. In North-eastern India, the seeds are dried and seasoned for later consumption. When dried the seeds turn black.
Jering adalah tumbuhan yang berasal di Malaysia dan kawasan ASEAN. Daripada kajian yang telah dilakukan jering didapati mengandungi zat permakanan seperti berikut :-
1. 3.5 peratus protein,
2. 0.1 peratus lemak,
3. 1.7 peratus karbohidrat,
4. banyak mengandungi kalsium,
5. banyak mengandungi fosforus,
6. banyak mengandungi besi,
7. vitamin A,
8. vitamin B,
9. vitamin C.
Jering mempunyai rasa yang pahit dan berbau. Ini menyebabkan golongan muda kurang menyukainya. Tetapi bagi sesetengah orang yang telah lama mengenali jering, rasanya yang sungguh enak terutama sekali apabila dimakan bersama sos ataupun kelapa parut bergula.
Dari segi perubatan pula, biji jering mengandungi sejenis bahan alkoloid yang memberi rangsangan untuk membuang air kecil. Bagi pesakit penyakit kencing manis pula, jering boleh menjadi penawar yang berkesan sekiranya diambil berterusan dengan kadar yang sedikit. Kerana kandungan sebatian alkoloid di dalam jering mampu meneutralkan kandungan gula dalam badan.
Hope this helps! =)
