Thumbs up Nepenthes in Serian, Sarawak

Hi,

I went there on Jan 2008, quite a long time already.
Over there have a lot of pitcher plant.
They use it to cook rice. Taste good.
It is good to eat like this. It will make your muscle stronger.

See this slide show link, http://s396.photobucket.com/albums/p...view=slideshow

Have a nice weekend.

Thanks for sharing! Looks like you have a nice trip, poeyleng.....

Kenneth, well, I think that the people there use the pitchers that are dying off or already dead. At least they made use of the pitchers.

Cheers

The natives in Borneo have been using pitchers to cook rice since time immemorial. Plants are not cut but only the pitchers. Usage of pitchers will depend on locality. For example veitchii in northern highland of Sarawak, ampullarias are most commonly used in most part of the lowland areas.

Fresh pitchers are wash and clean before rice are pour in, then placed in cooking pot. The natives often walk a long distance to their farmland thus the ease of carrying.

Off topic-Usage of various local natural material are common practise in S.E Asia-the chinese would use pandan leaves (don't know what species) and lotus leaves to make glutinous rice dumpling, in Thailand chicken wrapped in pandan leaves, in malaysia flavor enhancer for rice dishes and cakes.
