PRODUCT INFO Angle luffa is an elongated gourd with dark green skin, lined with evenly spaced ridged peaks, that taper at each end. They can be harvested when young, around 15 to 25 centimeters long, but average 30 to 40 centimeters in length and 5 to 7 centimeters wide. Angle luffa is tender; the bright white flesh has spongy texture and offers a silky, subtly sweet flavor when cooked. As it matures, the skin becomes tough and bitter and the flesh becomes fibrous and woody. USES Angle luffa can be eaten raw when young and around 15 centimeters long and 3 centimeters thick. More mature fruits can be prepared much like zucchini. They are peeled and sliced or cut into bite-sized pieces for stir-fry, battering and deep frying, to add to fish soups, dahls, or curries. Angle luffa will soak up the flavors of whatever liquid it is prepared in. In India the gourd is used in sabzis, or cooked vegetable dishes, simmered in a spice-filled gravy along with peas, cauliflower and tomatoes. Add it to stews or other vegetable dishes. Pair with seafood, spicy chiles, tamarind, soy sauce, cilantro, eggs and potato. Store Angle luffa in the refrigerator for up to a week. SEASON Angle luffa is available year-round with a peak season in the summer months.

Properly processed soybean meal offers the most complete nutrient profile of any common feedstock. Some of its most significant nutritious benefits include: Protein Soybean meal contains 47-49% protein and 3% crude fiber if the hulls are removed before processing. Processors often leave some hulls in tact or add separated hulls back into the material after processing to create a meal with about 43-46% protein and at least 6% crude fiber. Monogastric (single-stomached) animals, like pigs and chickens, donâ??t digest dietary fibers very well, so they prefer low-fiber, high-protein feeds. Soybean meal offers the highest protein content of any common oilseed or grain, supplying the most complete source of plant-based protein. Amino acids Soybean meal provides all the essential amino acids that monogastric animals requireâ??especially those like lysine and tryptophan that are lacking in corn and other cereal grains. Plus, the amino acids in soybeans are highly digestible. Compared to other oilseed meals, soybean offers the highest lysine digestibility and ranks high in methionine, cystine, and threonine. Energy Soybean meal offers more metabolizable energy than any other plant protein, especially when processed in a mechanical press like the Anderson Expeller. The press leaves about 5% residual oil in the meal, which boosts fat-based energy in feed. The nutrition facts for 100 grams of boiled soybeans are : Calories: 172 Water: 63% Protein: 18.2 grams Carbs: 8.4 grams Sugar: 3 grams Fiber: 6 grams Fat: 9 grams Saturated: 1.3 grams Monounsaturated: 1.98 grams Polyunsaturated: 5.06 grams Terms: MOQ: 25,000 mt * 12 months CIF USD 420 / mt ITLC / SBLC / TT from a top 50 bank Draft of the letter of credit to be approved by the Seller before issuance

PRODUCT INFO Lotus root is an oblong, tubular rhizome or stem that grows underground in bodies of water, averaging 5-10 centimeters in diameter and 10-20 centimeters in length. Appearing like underwater sausage links, the rhizomes are connected to other rhizomes via smaller roots creating groupings of 3 to 5 and can grow to be over one meter in length as a whole. When young, Lotus root has a firm texture with light purple to white skin that transforms into a brown-beige hue with darker brown speckling when mature. Underneath the thin skin, the flesh ranges in color from ivory to white and is crisp, light, and starchy. There are also numerous, symmetrical, air pockets patterned into a pinwheel shape in the flesh that extend the entire length of the rhizome. Lotus root has a dense and crunchy texture with a nutty and sweet flavor, similar to that of a water chestnut or taro root. The younger roots are more tender and used for fresh culinary purposes, whereas mature roots are used in extended cooking applications to develop a tender, potato-like texture. Considered a good source of energy as it is high in carbohydrates. It also contains vitamin C, manganese, zinc, iron, copper, vitamin B, potassium, and magnesium. USES Lotus root is best suited for cooked applications such as steaming, frying, braising, stir-frying, and boiling. After peeling the root, it should be immersed in acidulated water using vinegar or citrus to prevent discoloration. Lotus root can be blanched just slightly to remove any bitterness, cooled, and added to salads or crudite. It can also be sliced and braised until tender in soups, stir-fried, battered and fried into tempura, or thinly sliced and baked into chips. In India, Lotus root is boiled, mashed, and added to vegetarian kofta, which is a dumpling dish paired with spicy sauces. A traditional Korean dessert also utilizes Lotus root with soy sauce, honey, and sesame seeds called yeongun bokkum. Lotus roots pair well with mushrooms, peppers, snap peas, snow peas, asparagus, corn, celery, cucumber, oyster sauce, peanuts, red beans, and sesame seeds. Lotus root will keep up to two weeks when stored whole, wrapped in damp paper towels, and placed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Sliced Lotus root can be stored in an acidulated water solution for a couple of days, or it can be frozen for long-term storage. SEASON Lotus root is available year-round, with a peak season in the fall.
