Peranakan Botany: Native and Edible Plants from China and South East Asia

The Peranakans are an ethnic group defined by their descent from the first waves of Chinese settlers on the Malay Peninsula and in the Indonesian Archipelago.

When the new settlers arrived, the Malay Peninsula and Indonesian Archipelago beamed with edible plants of the most desirible charactarisics: fragrant, flavourful and colourful. 

With time, many of the orginal food plants faded into obsurity as with many native foods around the world. 

This collection is in their honour.
