Purple Carrot

I just arrive from my adventure in traditional market today hihihi…

Today is market day (hari pakan). I still have dendeng at home and fish on my freezer, so I  just brought some money to buy vegetables and green bean. I bought broccoli, carrot, and leaf soup. I was planning to boiled them for lunch. When I went to Tamil shop to buy some green bean, I saw the new nutrijell, it’s purple, blueberry flavor. I read on the the script on the package that this jelly is contain with fruit and vegetable extract, grape, blueberry, purple cabbage, and purple carrot. Then I saw the pic of four of them. Waw.. Purple carrot, really? I never heard about them.

Then I googled it. Here they are

I told this to my brother, he said there’s no purple carrot. I showed him the picture, so he said that vegetables has been undergone hybridization. Purple carrot is weird, alien 😆 😆 😆

 

Wheat

I wish wheat is become my country staple food. It doesn’t mean that I don’t like rice. And not just because I love bread more than rice, but the content of wheat is more than rice.

I heard about “Why much of Indonesia people are shorter?” And the answer is because we consume lots of carbohydrates than other nutrient like protein and fat. I don’t know.. Maybe this is right, because since I was little kid, I really fall in love with bread. I remember, I can cry when my mom told me to eat my dinner 😆

Also, I love potato too. My grandma told to my mom, “do not give her potato, it could make she tall” 😆 I don’t know what she was right or not. Now, here I’m.. I’m 68.11 inch. For Indonesia women, especially in my town, I’m classified a tall women 😀 But almost all of my family are tall, but I’m the taller 😀 also beautiful 😆

Here’s the comparison data I found, but I included potatoes and sweet corn too.

As you can see, maybe wheat is less energy than rice but the other content of wheat is more that rice, even sweet corn and potato. The folate is high, 70% of  our Nutritional Adequacy Rate (in Indonesian: AKG). I think it’s very good for pregnant women.

I know there’s a wheat flour (terigu) for making a bread, but I see it’s not enough wheat. If wheat flour full of wheat, why does there is just “bread” and “wheat bread”? And the color of bread isn’t same between their both. The sadness part, I can’t find wheat bread here, at town where I live 😦

There’s cereal made by wheat, but I don’t like it. I prefer to bread and cake than cereal 😦
