Binjai ( Mangifera caesia ) is a plant species belonging to the Anacardiaceae family. It is a large tree with a dense canopy and a straight trunk, reaching a height of 30–45 meters with a trunk diameter of 50–80 cm. The bark is grayish-brown and fissured. All parts of the tree exude a sharp, whitish sap that causes skin irritation; upon exposure to air, this sap solidifies and turns black. M. caesia features simple, alternately arranged leaves that often cluster near the tips of the branches. The leaf blades are elliptic to lanceolate—sometimes slightly obovate—measuring 7–12 cm in length and 3–5.5 cm in width. They are stiff, glossy green on the upper surface, pale green on the underside, and possess a prominent midrib. The leaf base is decurrent (tapering along the petiole), while the apex is blunt or bluntly pointed. The petioles are stiff, flattened, and 1–2.5 cm long. The inflorescence consists of a panicle located at the end of a branch, reaching 15–40 cm in length; it is highl...

Garlic ( Allium sativum ) is a plant species in the Amaryllidaceae family. It is an annual herb that grows from a bulb and produces a tall, upright flowering stalk, reaching up to 1 meter in height. Its leaves are flat, linear, and solid, measuring 1.25–2.5 cm in width with pointed tips. The plant bears hermaphroditic flowers that range in color from bright red to purple. The bulb of A. sativum has a strong aroma and typically consists of 10–20 cloves. Cloves located near the center are generally symmetrical, while those toward the periphery may be asymmetrical. Each clove is enclosed by an inner protective leaf, with the entire bulb surrounded by outer layers of leaves. The bulb is crushed or finely chopped for use as a seasoning. The plant possesses antibiotic properties. In its raw form, it consists of 59% water, 33% carbohydrates, 6% protein, 2% dietary fiber, and less than 1% fat. The plant produces sulfur-containing compounds, such as allicin, ajoene, diallyl polysulfides, viny...

Benda (Artocarpus elasticus) is a plant species in the Moraceae family. It is a medium-to-large tree that can reach a height of 45 meters, with a branch-free trunk up to 30 meters tall and a diameter of up to 125 cm; its buttress roots can extend as high as 3 meters above the ground. The bark is grayish-brown, with an inner layer ranging from yellowish to pale brown, and it exudes a yellowish-white latex. A. elasticus features thick twigs (8–20 mm in diameter) covered in dense, golden-colored hairs. Stipules envelop the tips of the twigs; they are 6–20 cm long and covered in long, yellow-to-reddish hairs. The leaves are stiff and leathery, ovate-oblong in shape, measuring 12.5–60 cm in length and 10–35 cm in width. The veins are covered in coarse, golden hairs on the upper surface and finer golden hairs on the underside. The leaves have pointed tips and entire to wavy margins, with bases that range from rounded to tapered. The inflorescences are borne in heads ( capitula ) located in ...
