“Genjer” Yellow Velvetleaf used as indigenous vegetable in Indonesia

Abstract

Indigenous vegetables are native to or originating from a particular region or ecosystem. Indigenous vegetables may have evolved from foreign plants introduced to the region from another geographical area over a long period of time. Limnocharis flava (L.) Buch. (sawah lettuce, velvet leaf) had an enormous impact on agriculture and food systems all over the world especially has been identified as exotic weed invasion. This plant appears in the aquatic environment and included in the Limnocharitaceae family. Yellow Velvetleaf (L. flava) has been utilised in Indonesia as vegetable and animal feed. Processing of this plants is done by steaming, boiling, and stirfrying. Young leaves with petioles and young, unopened inflorescences are eaten as a vegetable in Indonesia, especially in West Java region.
