Galangal

Galangal (galanga, blue ginger, laos) is a rhizome of plants in the ginger family Zingiberaceae, with culinary and medicinal uses originating in Indonesia. The rhizomes are used in various Asian cuisines (for example in Thai and Lao tom yum and tom kha gai soups, Vietnamese Huế cuisine (tre) and throughout Indonesian cuisine, for example, in soto). Though it is related to and resembles ginger, there is little similarity in taste. In its raw form, galangals have a stronger taste than common ginger.

Carrie Mango

The 'Carrie' mango is a named mango cultivar that originated in south Florida, USA. The original tree was grown on the property of Laurence H. Zill in Boynton Beach, Florida and was reportedly a seedling of the 'Sophie Fry' mango. A pedigree analysis of the Florida mangoes conducted in 2005 that did not include 'Sophie Fry' in the study found 'Julie' to be the most likely parent, though 'Julie' is also the parent of 'Sophie Fry'. The 'Carrie' tree was named after Lawrence Zill's mother, Carrie Zill.

Albana Grapes

Albana is a white Italian wine grape planted primarily in the Emilia-Romagna region. The wine made from the grape, Albana di Romagna, was first awarded DOCG status (Denominazione Origine Controllata e Garantita) in 1987. The grape produces deeply colored wines and could be related to Greco di Tufo. The history of this grape variety is unclear and confused with legends; it is believed that it was introduced to the region by the ancient Romans. The name Albana refers to the colour of the grapes (Albus = white in Latin).

Pam Grapes

'Pam' was released and patented by Ison's Nursery in 1991. Plant patent #5823, Dec. 9, 1986 The listed pedigree is '5-11-3' x 'Senoia'. 'Pam' is another of the large fruited, bronze, female cultivars from Ison's Nursery. 'Pam' seemed to have less fruit rot than many bronze cultivars, but berries lacked sweetness. Pam grapes on vineProductivity was okay for a female cultivar, but not great, and in some years was quite low. I don't think there are enough good traits for 'Pam' to overcome its uneven productivity. Source: http://www.caes.uga.edu/commodities/fruits/muscadines/cultivars/pam/pam.html
