Orang tidak lagi kaget, bahwa di Yogya ada banyak mall. Banyak dalam arti tidak hanya satu, melainkan lebih dari 5 mall. Atau setidaknya jumlahnya ada 8 mall. Diantara banyaknya mall di Yogya, pasar tradisional masih mudah ditemukan Artinya, kehidupan pasar tradisional “berdampingan” dengan pasar modern. Pasar modern semuanya ada di tengah kota, bahkan di pusat-pusat kota, pasar tradisional menyebar di banyak tempat, termasuk di desa-desa.
Salah satu pasar tradisional dan hanya khusus menyediakan satu jenis barang ialah pasar telo di Karangkajen. Orang Yogya pastilah mengenal nama pasar telo Karangkajen. Letaknya di tepi jalan, di sebelah selatan Yogya jalan lintas menuju jl. Imogiri.
Pasar telo ini, untuk kawasan Karangkajen seperti telah menjadi tanda untuk menunjuk sesuatu. Artinya, kapan orang mencari relasi atau apa di kawasan Karangkajen, istilah “karo pasar telo ngendine” (sebelah mananya dari pasar telo) biasanya diucapkan. Dari tanda pasar telo itu, biasanya pula orang akan mudah menemukan tempat yang akan dicari.
Telo atau ketela, baik ketela rambat (telo pendem) atau pohung (telo kaspo) bisa didapatkan di pasar telo ini. Dalam jumlah yang tidak sedikit, kios-kios di pasar telo menimbun dagangannya. Dari pasar telo di Karangkaen ini kemudian telo menyebar atau didistrubusikan ke banyak tempat, termasuk pada para pedagang gorengan.
Pada pedagang gorengan inilah ketela kemudian berubah bentuk dan berganti nama. Ada yang namanya limpung, balok, gethuk, cothot dan seterusnya. Nama-nama jenis makanan yang berasal dari ketela itu merupakan jenis makanan lokal (jawa) yang bentuknya bermacam-macam.
Tampaknya pasar telo tidak terlalu terpengaruh atas kehadiran mall. Karena relasi pasar telo adalah para bakul yang akan kembali menjual ketela yang dibeli kepada konsumen lainnya, yang sifatnya individual. Artinya, ketela sulit ditemukan di super market yang telah dikemas, misalnya seperti mentimun. Barangkali, karena kondisi ketela yang (biasanya) masih tertempel tanah pada kulit ketela, membuat super market tidak “tertarik” untuk memajangnya.
Soalnya bukan, apakah ketela bisa ditemukan di pasar tradisional atau tidak. Yang lebih penting untuk dimengerti adalah, bahwa di Yogya, jenis pasar khusus seperti pasar telo di Karangkajen, atau pasar buah di Gamping, tidak meninggalkan relasinya. Yang menarik dari pasar telo adalah, dari segi tempat, sampai sekarang tidak berpindah tempat. Masih tetap di Karangkajen, sehingga kapan menyebut nama Karangkajen asosiasi orang Yogya akan mengarah pada pasar telo.
Dan yang lebih menarik lagi, kondisi pasar telo sekarang jauh lebih tertata dan bersih dari pasar telo beberapa tahun lalu. Pada beberapa tahun lalu, ketela yang ditimbun sampai memenuhi tepi jalan, tetapi sekarang telah jauh lebih rapi.
Yogya dan ketela tampaknya seperti “sahabat seiring”, artinya mudah sekali ditemukan ketela berikut varian makanan yang dibuat dari ketela. Bermacam jenis makana gorengan dari ketela adalah bentuk dari “sahabat seiring” itu.

Yams are a staple food
Yams are a staple food in Africa, Indonesia, the Caribbean, China, Korea, and India.
Often confused with sweet potatoes, yams rarely appear in American markets, except in cities with large ethnic populations. This thick tuber, grown on tropical vines, is a staple food in Africa, where it originated, and in Indonesia, the Caribbean, China, Korea, and India. Yams are similar in size and shape to sweet potatoes, but contain more natural sugar and have a higher moisture content.
Varieties
There are more than 150 species of yam, with a wide variety of sizes and shapes. The flesh ranges in color from off-white and yellow to purple and pink.
Buying and storing tips
Yams can be found in specialty markets and Latin American markets. Look for those with tight, unblemished skins, and store them in a paper bag in a cool, dark location for up to two weeks.
Availability
Yams are available throughout the year, depending on the variety.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Scrub yams just before using them, and cook them as you would a potato, either baking, steaming, frying, or boiling and mashing.

TAPIOCA - PEARL (2)
General Description:
A starchy substance extracted from the root of the CASSAVA plant. It's available in several forms including granules, flakes, pellets (called pearl tapioca ) and flour or starch. The most widely available forms are tapioca flour (also called cassava flour ) and pearl tapioca. The flour is used as a thickening agent for soups, fruit fillings, glazes, etc., much like CORNSTARCH.
Pearl tapioca is used mainly to make pudding and comes in several sizes, regular or instant forms and in a variety of prepackaged flavors. Pearl tapioca is available in most supermarkets, whereas the other forms are more commonly found in health-food stores and Asian markets. If stored in a cool, dark place, all types of tapioca will keep indefinitely.

Slash-and-burn farming peoples in the Amazon Basin live on manioc (cassava), which is poisonous, using diverse tools to eliminate the poison. First peeling the manioc tuber, they usually grate it on a grater where numerous pointed pebbles are embedded. Then, they stuff the grated manioc into a cylindrical basket, and squeeze it. Finally, the manioc starch, from which the juice has been removed, is thinly spread over an earthen baking pan, baked on both sides, and eaten as bread.

Minute Tapioca
Tapioca pudding is has always been my favorite dessert. It should be the National Dessert like flan is in Spain. They call it "minute" but it takes about fifteen to separate the egg whites and stir slowly to a boil. These tiny boxes last forever. I see they have changed the packaging on the new boxes too. I don't know why they have to do that. Pretty soon everything will look the same

Success for cassava research.
Resistant to pests and bigger harvests
A mighty root
Cassava is an important agricultural crop. It provides food for over 800 million people. Over the past four years Wilhelm Gruissem, ETH Professor of Plant Biotechnology at the ETH Institute of Plant Sciences (1), has directed his research to discovering how this plant can be protected from diseases with the help of genetic technology. Gruissem and his team have now received a science award from the Eiselen Foundation Ulm (2).
By Michael Breu
Cassava (Manihot esculenta)–more widely known as manioc in Europe–is one of the most important agricultural crops. Its root represents the staple food of over 800 million people. Global production is steadily increasing (178.8 million tons in 2001, of which 93.9 m was grown in Africa) and, after rice, maize and sugar cane, it is the fourth most important source of calories for populations in the tropics. "Cassava is undemanding as far as soil quality, fertilisers and irrigation is concerned," write Wilhelm Gruissem and his assistant Peng Zhang in a specialist article.
Cassava is mainly cultivated by small farmers. The leaves provide them with a vitamin-rich vegetable and they use the root to make various starchy foods. Both parts of the plant have to be handled with caution, as they both contain poisonous cyanides.
Limits to conventional selection
This is not the only problem. "In contrast to other cultivated plants, cassava can be modified only very slightly using conventional breeding methods," say Gruissem and Zhang. The reason for this is that, from a genetic point of view, the heterogeneity of manioc is like our indigenous fruit and grape varieties, and hybridisation therefore brings about totally new varieties. This means that genetic hybridisation is hardly possible. "There are hardly any genetically well-defined reproduction lines. Today's cultivated varieties stem almost exclusively from vegetative propagation."
As far as cassava is concerned genetic technology is an ideal alternative to conventional breeding. Gruissem is convinced: "Thanks to genetic technology we can find solutions for some of the most important problems in cassava".
Three examples:
- Firstly, pest resistance: "In some parts of East and Central Africa, in recent years the cultivation of cassava has come to a total halt in some areas owing to a viral infection. The disease is caused by the Gemini virus, African Cassava Mosaic Virus (ACMV)“, write the experts. This particular virus exists in different genetic variations and is transmitted by the white fly (Bemisia tabaci). Up until now the only way to combat infection has been with massive doses of insecticide. With genetic technology it is now possible to activate the plants own immune system to fight this specific virus. "This is done by introducing small parts of the viral genome into the plant, which either directly attack the virus or trigger a targeted defense reaction," explains Gruissem and compares the result to a vaccination. Three strategies were tested at the ETH Institute for Plant Sciences: blocking the genetic expression of the virus by the means of anti-sense RNA against ACMV proteins, required in an early phase of the infection cycle; the production of a hypersensitive response after viral infection; and the prevention of viral reproduction by induced "gene silencing“. Here the expression of the virus's specific double helix RNA is activated in the plant's own defense mechanism, which either leads to the destruction of viral RNA and/or prevents its expression.
According to Gruissem, at the moment the anti-sense strategy is the most far advanced. "A great number of transgenic plants with multiple diverse genetic constructs were produced and tested for resistance to the virus using different methods. Under greenhouse conditions many plant lines demonstrated good to very good levels of resistance to diverse strains of ACMV."
Another problem–cassava hornworm
Another problem is the larvae of the cassava hornworm (Erinnyis ello). These larvae eat the leaves and cause harvest losses of between 10 and 50 per cent. "Transgenic cassava plants that express CryIA(b) protein from the Bacillus thuringiensis were produced in our lab and are currently being prepared for cassava hornworm resistance tests at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture in Columbia," says Gruissem.
- The second example is the extension of the life of the leaf. "Cassava plants often have very few leaves, as they wilt very quickly and die. Leaves age in an active process in the usual run of things, steered by the plant's hormones. A prolongation of this process would increase the number of leaves per plant and so increase harvest. In addition more leaves would also provide more primary food in the form of vegetables," say Gruissem and Zhang. "We have now produced transgenic cassava plants in which a specific cytokinine biosynthetic gene is activated when it begins to age. Cytokinines are plant hormones that can delay the aging process. The transgenic plants really do hang on to leaves longer; every aspect, otherwise observed when the plant ages, is slowed down. The plants produce storage roots earlier than the non-transgenic plants, have higher leaf harvests and, moreover, they can better withstand drought," as the two ETH experts have found out.
Food quality can be improved
- The third example concerns improving the quality of the food. Although the cassava roots contain a high proportion of starch, its protein content is not enough to cover the recommended daily intake of essential amino acids. "We have developed transgenic cassava plants that produce an artificial storage protein (ASP1). This protein is an imitation of naturally occurring storage proteins, as, for example, in sweet corn, and its amino acid sequence is optimised to suit human nutritional needs. We are currently investigating the protein content of this plant. At the same time further transgenic plants are being produced in which the specific expressions trigger is modified to produce higher concentrations of ASP1, especially in the root of the plant," is the hope raised by Gruissem and Zhang.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Combine cassava with salt fish mixture and mix well.
Place into a shallow pie plate and bake until browned on top, about 15 minutes.
Serves six to eight.
9. Shitake-and-Pearl Onion Salad
Yield: 8 servings
10 ounces fresh pearl onions
1/4 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
3/4 pound shiitake mushroom caps
(without stems)
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1/4 cup amber rum
Salt Cracked black pepper
6-8 cups mixed greens
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
1. Bring medium saucepan of water to boil. Add onions; boil 3 minutes, then drain in colander and rinse with cold water. Snip ends of each onion and slip off peels. Set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in large skillet until almost smoking; add butter. When butter melts, add mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms brown around edges. Add pearl onions; cook until lightly browned. Push vegetables to sides of pan; pour in vinegar and rum. Cook, scraping bottom of skillet with wooden spoon to release browned bits, until liquid comes to boil and reduces to a glaze. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
3. To serve, cover individual salad plates with salad greens, using 3/4-1 cup per serving. Spoon mushroom mixture over lettuce; top each serving with 1/2 ounce crumbled goat cheese.
