Tropical Vegetables.jpg

Good guide with Latin and common names of tropical vegetables. Found out that ECHO cultivates more than half of the veg found in this handy-dandy guide.

I bought the book five years ago after realizing that although I have always eaten kangkung (Ipomoea reptans or morning glory) in Toronto (found in most Chinese grocery stores), hemophilia Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, I had no idea what it would be called in English, or it’s proper scientific name for that matter. Now I feel so much smarter when I eat morning glory.
