Maranta arundinacea (species) (Maranta (genus), Marantaceae (family), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Species of herbaceous perennial, probably a native of Guyana and western Brazil, cultivated throughout the West Indies, Southeast Asia, Australia, and South Africa. Its creeping rootstock has fleshy tubers harvested as starch; its many-branched stem reaches 1.5 m (5-6 feet) in height. Plants are harvested when the tubers are gorged with starch, just before the plant's dormant season. The roots are peeled and then grated in water. The resulting mixture is dried to a powder and purified by several washings.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 多年生草本物種，可能原產於圭亞那和巴西的西部，栽種地遍及西印度群島、東南亞、澳洲以及南非。其匍匐根莖有多肉的塊莖可收成作為澱粉食物。具有許多分岔的莖長度可達1.5公尺（5-6英呎），植物收成時機是在塊莖被澱粉填滿時，在植物正要進入休眠季之前。塊莖去皮後在水中磨碎，所得的混合物乾燥成粉，再經由幾次的洗滌而純化。 |
| Dutch ..... Kruidachtige overblijvende plant, waarschijnlijk inheems in Guyana en West-Brazilië. Men verbouwt de plant in West-Indië, Zuidoost-Azië, Australië en Zuid-Afrika. De kruipende wortelstok heeft vlezige knollen die men oogst om hun zetmeel. De stengel heeft vele takken en wordt 1,5 meter hoog. De planten worden geoogst wanneer de knollen vol zitten met zetmeel, vlak voor het ruststadium van de planten. De wortels worden geschild en daarna in water geraspt. Het mengsel dat zo ontstaat wordt gedroogd tot een poeder en gezuiverd door het meerdere malen te wassen. |
