Fresh from Farm Photo

Photographer’s Note

Jack fruit and Tapiaco which is locally produced and kept on the side of highway for sale . These are fresh from the nearby farm.

In Southern parts of India especially the state of Kerala consumes a lot of tapioca, either boiled or cooked with spices. Tapioca and fish curry could be considered official food of Kerala. In southern states like Kerala, tapioca is thinly sliced in and made into wafers like salted potato wafers. In the South Indian state of Kerala, Cassava, often referred to as tapioca in English, and kappa or kolly or maracheeni in Malayalam, is a staple food. Tapioca is used to make a granules like product called Chowwary in Malayalam. This is used to make a light porridge by adding milk or buttermilk, recommended for patients recovering from illness.

Hello Radeeh. The photo pleases me very well, because it is realistic and authentic. Also the text is exemplary. I think, a good picture for TE. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Radeeh, I hope that you are doing well in England (if you are still there), being in Europe I feel more attracted by the tropics and the lush vegetation of Kerala, I miss the delicious sweet jackfruits and I enjoy watching such daily scenes with such nice colours... TFS,
Best regards,
Cath.
