PETAI

razifah

Pokok Petai merupakan sejenis tumbuhan dalam famili Leguminosae yang berasal dari kawasan Asia Tenggara yang beriklim panas lembap. Pokok ini selalunya tumbuh meliar di dalam hutan-hutan Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and Thailand, tetapi jarang didapati selain kawasan Asia Selatan. Nama botaninya Parkia speciosa Hassk.

Pokok Petai merupakan pokok saka yang besar dan rendang, dan boleh tumbuh setinggi 30 meter. Buah petai terdapat dalam deretan panjang dan nipis yang dikenali sebagai "papan". Setiap papan buah mempunyai antara 12 hingga 15 biji benih tersusun memanjang sepanjang buah. Buah ini, yang panjangnya sehingga 50 sentimeter apabila cukup tua, mempunyai kulit yang tebal tetapi lembut, benih dan licin berwarna kemerah-merahan. Biji-biji inilah yang dimakan kadang-kadang mentah dan kadang-kadang dibakar. Buah petai sering dimakan sebagai ulam oleh peminat, tetapi kurang popular kerana mempunyai bau yang kuat. Biasanya, petai dicicah dengan sambal untuk dimakan bersama nasi. Biji-biji petai yang dikupas, biasa juga dimasak sambal tumis bersama udang atau kerang.

Berdasarkan kajian, buah petai yang berbintil-bintil pada papannya dikatakan mengandungi kadar protein dan lemak yang tinggi berbanding tumbuhan hutan yang lain, iaitu sebanyak 8 peratus, 11 peratus karbohidrat, 71% air, banyak mengandungi kalsium, fosforus, zat besi, vitamin A, B1, B2 dan C.

Sebenarnya kandungan pemakanan biji petai berbeza mengikut umur dan kesegaran bijinya. Buah petai yang kecut ataupun bijinya tidak membulat mempunyai kandungan khasiatnya kurang. Dalam perubatan tradisional Melayu, biji petai dipercayai berkesan untuk merawat penyakit jantung dan penyakit kencing manis, mencuci buah pinggang, serta untuk mengeluarkan cacing daripada kanak-kanak yang kecacingan.

Pokok petai mula berbunga ketika berusia lima tahun. Pendebungaan pokok ini adalah melalui spesies kelawar Eonycleris spelaed yang juga merupakan agen pendebungaan bagi Pokok Durian. Oleh kerana pokok petai dan pokok durian adalah bermusim, kelawar Eonycleris spelaed mencari makan dari madu pokok Bakau jenis Sonneratia pada musim yang lain.

Pokok petai biasanya ditanam menggunakan biji benih.

"A Petai a day keeps the doctor away"

A tall species of the lowland forest in Malaysia, also known as Parkia Speciosa. The seeds encapsulated in the long pendulous pods of this species are a local delicacy, despite its strong and slightly bitter aftertaste. The seeds are eaten raw, grilled or blanched.

Petai makes the bodily secretion and breath smell bad.  But Petai contains three natural sugars -sucrose, fructose and glucose - combined with fiber, petai gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.  

Little did you (and I) know ..... after reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at petai in the same way again!

Research has proved that just two servings of petai provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder petai is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way petai can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND among people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating petai. This is because petai contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS(premenstrual syndrome):
Forget the pills - eat petai. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia:
High in iron, petai can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the petai industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power:
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating petai at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation:
High in fiber, including petai in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a petai milkshake, sweetened with honey. The petai calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn:
Petai has a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating petai for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness:
Snacking on petai between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of the petai skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves:
Petai is high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight:
Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers:
Petai is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control:
Many other cultures see petai as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In holland, for example, pregnant women eat petai to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):
Petai can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, tryptophan.

Smoking:
Petai can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress:
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium petai snack.

Strokes:
According to research in 'The New England Journal of Medicine', eating petai as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%.

Warts:
Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of petai and place it on the wart. Carefully hold the petai in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, you see, petai really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.

So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say,

"A Petai a day keeps the doctor away"
