From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houttuynia
Houttuynia cordata (Chinese: 鱼腥草; pinyin: yúxīng cǎo; literally "fishy-smell herb"; Vietnamese: giấp cá; Korean: 약모밀; English lizard tail and chameleon plant), the sole species in the genus Houttuynia, is a flowering plant native to Japan, Korea, southern China and Southeast Asia, where it grows in moist, shady places.
Houttuynia is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to between 20 and 80 cm. The proximal part of the stem is trailing and produces adventitious roots, while the distal part of the stem grows vertically. The leaves are alternate, broadly heart-shaped, 4-9 cm long and 3-8 cm broad. Flowers are greenish-yellow, borne on a terminal spike 2-3 cm long with 4-6 large white basal bracts.
The plant grows well in moist to wet soil and even slightly submerged in water in partial or full sun. Plants can become invasive in gardens and difficult to eradicate. Propagation is via division.
Houttuynia in temperate gardens is usually in one of its cultivated forms, including: Chameleon (synonymous with H.c. 'Court Jester', H.c. 'Tricolour', H.c. 'Variegata') this variety is slightly less vigorous than the species and has leaves broadly edged in yellow and flecked with red; Flore Pleno has masses of white bracts and the vigour of the parent species.
Grown as a leaf vegetable, particularly in Vietnam, where it is called giấp cá or diếp cá and is used as a fresh herbal garnish. The leaf has an unusual taste that is often described as fishy (earning it the nickname "fish mint"), so it is not enjoyed as universally as basil, mint, or other more commonly used herbs.
In the southwestern Chinese provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, roots are used as a root vegetable. English names include heartleaf and lizardtail.
Houttuynia is also used in herbal medicine. The beverage dokudami cha (Japanese: ドクダミ茶; literally "Houttuynia cordata tea") is an infusion made from Houttuynia cordata leaves, Oolong tea leaves, and Job's Tears.[1]
Lizard Tail is an invasive species in many areas in the United States and Australia.[2] Even the less vigorous forms will spread beyond an apt gardener's control if planted in any moderately moist soil. To prevent this, try planting in an old pot, sunk down into the garden soil
I'm cooking something tomorrow and this is one of the ingredients I prepped ahead of time. I will keep you posted on the other ingredients of this all-time favorite of many.
Although sweet potatoes may be part of the Thanksgiving tradition, these wonderful naturally sweet vegetables can be part of your meals throughout the year; they are some of the most nutritious root vegetables around. The sweet potato has yellow or orange flesh, and its thin skin may either be white, yellow, orange, red or purple.
This vegan carrot cake is easy to make, yet moist and aromatic. Although it goes well with vanilla frosting, it is just as nice on its own.
Taro Root sales in Lautoka City Municipal Market.
Taro known locally as dalo, is an important staple crop of Fijians.
Taro has been a staple of the Fijian diet for centuries, and its cultural importance is celebrated on Taro Day.
Its growth as an export crop began in 1993 when taro leaf blight decimated the taro industry in neighbouring Samoa. Fiji filled the void and was soon supplying taro internationally.
Taro has a similar starchy texture to that of a normal white potato, but with a mildly sweet, nutty flavor (similar to that of a sweet potato).
To the indigenous Fijians, taro is important in their culture. Presentations of food to chiefs and at important social functions would be deemed less successful if taro or yam were absent.
Yesterday was the last day of the local Winter Farmers' Market. It is so well attended, it makes me wonder what we will all do on Saturdays now.

This morning I started working on a split pea soup recipe, I started out the soup by dicing two small yellow onions, two carrots and three stalks of celery
After adding a quarter cup of olive oil, I sauteed the vegetables until soft and then added a one pound bag of green split peas and a two pound smoked ham hock.
Finally, I added two quarts of chicken stock and 2 cups of water. I will let this all simmer over low heat on the stove top for about two hours
Once the hock is cooked through, I will remove the skin, dice the ham and return to the pot
Miniature towers of finely sliced potatoes layered with olive oil, fresh thyme and oregano, and a little salt: two kinds of sweet potato, plus a rainbow of red, golden, and purple potatoes and a little parsnip too. Each tower is a perfect, personal serving - baked separately. Sweet, earthy, complex flavors of all the potato varieties come together in what would be superb as a side dish with game or rich red meat.
