"No matter where you go, there you are." - unknown

I am very fortunate to live and live in a tropical country with diverse uniqueness and beauty. one of which is a fruit that is always best to grow and produce fruit throughout the year. Fruits that contain lots of vitamins are good for making absorbed me not to worry about running out. Always available at any time simply different msuim harvest only.

Dieng, a small village in the high plateau that will make you chuckle in awe. As long as you see, only the green plants will be presented to be consumed by humans. Potatoes, peppers, scallions, until a crop of fruit that can only grow in Dieng only in Indonesia. Gedang Memedi if in Bali or in Latin Vasconcellea cundinamarcensis.

Carica

But if interpreted in the Indonesian language, meaning Gedang Memedi name for the fruit, known as Carica or papaya mountain. Plant fruit that comes from the highlands of the Andes, South America as well as plants that like wet conditions plateau with an altitude of 1500-3000 m above sea level.

It is said that this mountain papaya was introduced to Indonesia on the eve of World War II by the colonial Dutch East Indies, and successfully developed in the Dieng Plateau. So it is not surprising that now "Carica" became one of the typical hand pieces and compulsory from this area. One is the fruit processed products can be used as syrup, juice, sweets and jam. Even now in the Dieng area, mountain papaya or Carica has now become a household industry preserved a drinks in cans though still in limited production.

If you would like eat and taste the tropical fruits, Carica; go and drive your way to Dieng plateau. Interested?.
