A stout, robust climber, the rattan attaches itself to trees via the spines and grows hanging in the forest like a vine. The spines must be removed before the edible stem can be harvested. Rattan has alternate, compound leaves, whitish or yellowish flower, and a bunch of round fruits that look like green pinecones. It grows up to a hundred meters long or more.<\/p>\n<p>Habitat: Rattan is widely cultivated in Indonesia, but is also grown in Bangladesh, Malaysia, Philippines, and Sri Lanka. It thrives in tropical rain forests.<\/p>\n<p>Edible Parts: The rattan has starchy young stems, which may be eaten cooked or raw, while the palm heart may also be eaten cooked or raw. The fruits contain seeds surrounded with gelatinous pulp, a red resin called dragon&#8217;s blood, which tastes like citrus. Rattan also provides potable water by trimming the ends of its long stems.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sago-Palm-Metroxylon-sagu.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3675 \" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sago-Palm-Metroxylon-sagu.jpg\" alt=\"Sago Palm (Metroxylon sagu)\" width=\"437\" height=\"657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sago-Palm-Metroxylon-sagu.jpg 600w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sago-Palm-Metroxylon-sagu-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 437px) 100vw, 437px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Metroxylon_sagu\">Sago Palm (Metroxylon sagu)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Sago palm grows from 7 to 25 meters long before it ends with a massive, upright terminal inflorescence. It has pinnate leaves up to 10 meters long, each consisting of 150 leaflets at 175 centimeters long. The flower pairs spiral on the third-order branches, consisting of one male and one hermaphrodite flower. Its drupe fruit is covered in scales, and turns from green to brown at maturity. The outer rind is very thick about 2 inches and hard, which encloses a spongy, starchy inner pith.<\/p>\n<p>Habitat: Like many palm species, the sago palm grows abundantly in tropical rain forests along rivers and lakes such as those in the Indonesia, New Guinea, Malay Peninsula, and Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>Edible Parts: Before bearing flowers, the trunk when cut provides sago enough to feed one person for a year. To make sago, cut the mature trunk of non-flowering sago palm lengthwise, with the inner pith harvested and pounded finely. Knead the pounded pith in water and strain through a cloth into a container. Let the fine sago settle at the bottom of the container, decant the water and dry the sago. The dried sago can be cooked like grain or cereal. The upper trunk can be roasted in chunks and eaten. The palm&#8217;s young nuts and shoots are edible, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screw-Pine-Pandanus-species.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3676 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screw-Pine-Pandanus-species.jpg\" alt=\"Screw Pine (Pandanus species)\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screw-Pine-Pandanus-species.jpg 400w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screw-Pine-Pandanus-species-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pandanus\">Screw Pine (Pandanus species)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You often see them in rain forests and even along mangrove forests.
