Snails Delicious and Rich Protein

noreply@blogger.com (Sugeng Pribadi) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 02:49:45 PST

For the people of Indonesia that has old homes, snail remind them of the miserable Japanese colonial era, so it was forced to eat snails. But why did prestigious snail meat to food in other countries?

If you are into France, where there is a famous dish called escargot. What is it? You may be surprised that escargot is a dish made from raw snail meat. In Japan, this is the case, even the processing of this snail is so simple, just to spice ginger, vinegar and sweetener. But, how delicious snail meat that!

That is why France and Japan have always relied on snail meat supply. Several other countries also always import the snail meat, such as Hong Kong, Netherlands, Taiwan, Greece, Belgium, Luxemburg, Canada, Germany and United States.

We belong to one country exporters of snails. But the volume and continuity not meet the needs of the market importers. Well, not this agribusiness opportunities that lie before our eyes?

Rich in Calcium and Amino Acids

Perhaps raises a question mark, why do people love the snail meat? Yes, just look at abortion. In order to meet the demands of nutritional adequacy, snail is one alternative that should be taken into account.

Creswell and Kopiang (1981) details the chemical composition of the snail, it turns the meat is rich in protein. Snail shells are rich in calcium, and the meat is still there are many amino acids.

Meanwhile, other data sources showed that the protein contained about 12 grams per 100 grams of meat. Another is the fat content of 1%, 2% carbohydrate, 237 mg calcium, phosphorus 78 mg, 1.7 mg Fe as well as B complex vitamins, especially vitamin B2.

Besides the amino acid content of snail meat is quite prominent. In 100 grams of dry snail meat among others, consists of 4.62 g leucine, 4.35 g of lysine, arginine 4.88 g, 5.98 g of aspartic acid, glutamic acid and 8.16 gr.

Does not contain salmonella bacteria snail meat? It's true! But there are ways to get rid of the bacteria, ie, the correct processing techniques.Instead of the findings in the field, in Kediri, their usual eating snail meat can claim to cure hives, cough, scabies and so on.

Step Processing

Kediri is known as the City of Tofu (Kota Tahu), but also as a forerunner of snail producers. In the early 1970s only one of two village residents, and Village Jengkol & Plosokidul, District Plosoklaten, Kediri who became interested in developing and utilizing snails.

Initially snail breeding business in that area, a small course. Then open stalls snails, and some are sold around. More and more people who come to try working on it. Further Kediri with snails able to attract entrepreneurs from other cities. This can be evidenced by the presence of livestock snail enthusiasts-enthusiasts, who learn and gain experience to Kediri.

Based on the experience of farmers in Kediri snails, snail meat yield of approximately 15-18%. That is, from every 100 kg of fresh snails (live) will get about 15-18 kilograms of snail meat.

Through 7 Stage

To get good results, snail meat has to go through stages.

Cleaning dirt. Surviving snails put in tank for 2 days, without any fed. Do watering every evening. It aims to spur spending and remove dirt and slime smell musty.
Soaking. After cleaning, snails soaked in salt water with a little vinegar. Soaking takes approximately 5-10 minutes while stirring, then water is removed. Soaking is done 3-4 times until the water immersion becomes clear.
Initial boiling. Snails that have been soaked put in boiling water for 15 minutes while inverted back, and then cooled.
The separation. Snails that have been boiled earlier it had to be separated between the shells, droppings, eggs and meat. The trick is to poke the snail meat from the shell with a pick. After the meat, eggs and feces of snails out of their shells and then split. Snail eggs can be immediately washed, fried and eaten. While the meat is still need further processing.
Laundering. Snail meat that has been separated from the shell, then washed clean. Better if the washing is done with running water.
Soaking. Meat that has been washed, soaked in vinegar water for 15 minutes.
Boiling the end. Snail meat that has been soaked was boiled again for 15 minutes. After boiled, washed once again to clean and sliced according to our tastes. This snail meat that has been ready to be cooked.

Poor children face the risk of death two times greater than children of the rich. This is due,because more than 30 percent of children in developing countries - are synonymous withpoverty - not a chance of good basic health services, such as equipment assistanceduring delivery, or the availability of basic intake of nutritional value adequate for infants.

Another result, more than 200 million children aged under five years old (toddlers) around the world are also not getting adequate health care. Thus, at least 10 million children dieeach year from diarrhea and pneumonia, which is actually quite mild and treatable illness.

I do not know, whether the report from Save the Children Foundation is also the result of research in our country too, which certainly did not mention that Indonesia is included in thecategory of developing countries are vulnerable to the death of infants and toddlers.

Mothers at home were accustomed to serving dish of chicken or beef instead of fish. This could be because the wishes of the children.

Moreover with the emergence of fast food outlets serving famous junk food category. Reinforced with advertisements for fast food is presented on television is bombastic. Making children think junk food is more contemporary lifestyle. Means taking an own prestige. The difference is not with eating fish?

If seen, the national fish consumption is increased. From 29.08 kg per capita per year in 2009, to 30.47 kg per capita per year in 2010. However, this figure is still very far behind compared to other developed countries. For example, fish consumption in Japan reached 110 kg per capita per year, South Korea 85 kg per capita per year, and Malaysia 45 kg per capita per year.

In fact, fish, especially saltwater fish store nutrients that are very useful for health.

Omega-3 fatty acid content in fish is very useful for tackling a number of degenerative diseases such as heart disease, clogged arteries, cancer, and hypertension. Continuous consumption of fish also proved able to inhibit the adverse effects of heart disease.

Shrimp shell useful to help the formation of cartilage in bone joints. Another with squid that is a source of various vitamins is important. Like folic acid, B12, and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). While omega-3 fatty acids in crab function lowering levels of bad cholesterol in the blood thus preventing cardiovascular disease, boost immunity, enhance nervous system function and eye health, and increasing intelligence of the brain when administered early.

The launching of this fish meal program, in fact more positive factors. Because the waters of Indonesia is rich in various kinds of fish. In fact, ancient people eat more fish, both saltwater fish and freshwater fish, rather than eat beef or chicken meat.

That is why, in the culinary traditions of the community, recipes or preparations made from raw fish is quite common and very diverse because of the diet of fish have actually been much developed among our parents so that the culture of eating fish is not something new. However, this practice eroded by age with the mushrooming of fast food restaurants.

Tourism Old City, No Differences with Market

noreply@blogger.com (Sugeng Pribadi) — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:04:52 PST

Day on 23 October last month, I took myself to the streets to the old town (Kota Tua, Jakarta), as had long been stopped, had implied in mind about buildings that have a high historical value.

Arriving at around 5 pm, wishful thinking about the Dutch cannon and post office, immediately go away, because many vendors present merchandise, ranging from food, DVDs or temporary tattoo, wow ..., chaotic desires take building drawings, not to mention the singers, beggars and motorcycle parking for the more lively atmosphere (very dense).

According to one trader fruit ice, these traders come from 12 noon until closing at 6 pm, but it's just a few, the rest can until daybreak.

Is not there a better relocation, without the need to remove the value from somewhere, because I see there are some information boards, for example in the museum of puppets, which runs out in graffiti, not to mention the merchants who throw indstrinya rest in the ditch, to create an atmosphere more fragrant fragrant.

So, what can I do, just enjoy the tour the old city, with background and parking motor traders crowded.

And until when tour the old city can still survive if it continues to run a business like this? Ask the swaying grass!

noreply@blogger.com (Sugeng Pribadi) — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 02:25:16 PST

Most young people who had worked to put the excess funds are still confused. One of the coveted young people to invest is a property.

Well, usually young people will be confused with many questions, such as where the exact location, properties such as what the prospects are good, to which one is most profitable.

How to tips on choosing an investment in the property sector? Here are some tips that quoted by The Sydney Morning Herald, Wednesday (23/11/2011).

1. Ask yourself, why do want to invest in property, and what you want to earn?

If you want to get rich quick, then this is not the path you should take. Indeed, we have seen a surge in property prices a few years back, but property prices as well as the economic cycle, rising slowly. Despite the crisis, but in the next few years we will still see growth in property prices.

Average property industry players like to follow trends. For reasons that can not be explained by common sense, they just chase the property at the time the price went up. So, we can be sure the price increase would still occur in the coming years.

There are still many other factors that support the rising property prices. But, it is hard to guess when the price goes up and up to how big the increase. Instead of wondering pairs better with a long-term targets follow the development of national economy.

Currently, the crisis was engulfing Europe and the United States (U.S.), but these external factors will not affect much on the economy of developing countries. Thus, property prices will not fall upon this sentiment.

If you are young and just intend to get into the property industry, you have plenty of time to save money while looking at the world market developments. Do not rush.

2. Do not blind information

Once you seriously want to put some funds in a property, search for deep information about the industry, ranging from enterprises to the current trend. There have been many stories of developers who asked for a down payment after it disappeared swallowed by the earth before the property was completed. Do not be lured by cheap but an investment with high returns.

There are many ways to explore this kind of information. Internet has opened the window wide open. This is the most appropriate place for young people who want to look for news about the property. Not only that, read newspapers and magazines are also reputable property that contains the news.

The Internet also provides the price, location to where you are looking for a loan to buy the property. If you want to know the current trend, the article also read the opinions of the perpetrators of the property.

3. Invest in a balanced

It is undeniable, in the minds of young people investing in property can provide a high profit. It is also generally supported by both parents who have experienced a home or other property.

But, if you are young with more money and do not have dependents, it never hurts to invest elsewhere. This is done so that your investment is balanced, not heavy in one sector alone.

Even though you've just worked, but nothing to lose if you set aside a little of your income to invest in stocks. Or you could just push the advance of funds in the stock. Once you can profit, the funds can be used to purchase the property. Learn to invest early on to hone our ability to dredge dollars in the future.

No need to set aside funds to start investing too much, say around Rp 10000-50000 per week. Although small but better than nothing.

This small approach teaches you to share the risk. Your funds will not go away if anything happens, different if only placed in one container.

4. Saving as much as possible before you buy

If you intend to sublease the property you buy, such as houses or apartments, then you should have more money for the cost of care. If you buy property to live in, still needed the extra money, for money cleanliness and safety of your property maintenance as well.

The best step you can do is keep more money in savings before buying property. With this, you are better protected than any other additional costs.

5. Do research on the ideal location

The old adage says, buy a house that is not too far from downtown. No need to complete with supporting facilities such as lifts and swimming pool or gym, but try the location does away with the general means.

The location is close to downtown is good, but watch the growth of his city in what direction. Do not let the suburban location of the property we would not even be developed by the government.

Buy property adjacent to the railway station is always the best option because the facility will continue to be used in a long time. When populations are increasing rapidly, the mass transport will become increasingly important.

But be careful to areas that have a negative sentiment, such as near airports or terminals that are always crowded. In fact, inter-city roads are very busy every day can be a problem. Such areas should be avoided.

Notice the people around, like what people who live in the area. Selections are also those who intend to rent your property, do not accept just anyone.

Buy a resale property that is easy when you need it. If a property has been offered for months but have not sold well, look for the cause. Do not you already bought but it proved difficult to resell.

6. Hold enough cash after purchasing the property

When you buy just to buy property, do not spend all your funds to pay the mortgage. Make a high-interest savings and easily melted (do not choose a long-term deposits).

Use this savings as your reserve fund. These funds can be used for treatment or even widening of your assets. You must be disciplined with this fund, should not be used for anything else except for your property.

7. After purchase, keep saving

If it is still possible, after you buy the property and have a reserve fund, you should continue saving. But, if you buy a property to live in, then you better speed up repayments only if there is more money.

By paying more quickly, then the total cost that you can spend less, especially to avoid the burden of interest repayments. It is more profitable than saving more money in savings.

However, if you buy property for rental purpose. So, let the rent is responsible for the mortgage. Lebihnya money you can save.

8. Destroy your property appearance

If you buy a property that is still not perfect, you do not need to worry. You have plenty of time to make reforms and beautify your property. It would be better if you work directly in this reshuffle.

Arrangement of rooms, ranging from wall color to form floor tiles, can be done alone with a little learning. However, for some matters, such as electrical, plumbing, roofing installation, you can contact a professional.

9. Be a good landlord

Always ready to care for and keep your property well, try to always look perfect. That way, you can attract more tenants, even with competitive rates. Rundown rental house which looks definitely shunned tenant, the price fell too.

10. Do not rush, be patient before buying property again

Suppose you already have one property in your investment portfolio, and now you want more. Do not rush. Remember, your investment balance first, do not just play in the property only. Follow the whole series was well above tips.

If your capital structure is very solid, then you may purchase another property. However, it has two or more properties means higher risk. The next property investment is better for the longer term, rather than just for resale.

Hopefully you are successful property investment.
