Industri Udang Geragau di Malaysia

Selama 3 hari bermula 10-12 Julai 2009, aku berkesempatan mengiringi Ketua Jabatan ke lawatan penyelidikan ke Daerah Larut Matang dan Kerian, Perak. InsyaAllah bermula dengan entri pada hari ini, aku akan menyelitkan apa yang menarik di daerah tersebut. Mana yang baik ambillah ia dijadikan contoh. Manakala yang tidak dijadikan ingatan sepanjang hidup.

Aku pasti, bila ditanya tentang udang geragau. Pasti kalian rasa teruja dengan rasanya. Udang geragau ini apabila dimasak dengan nasi goreng memang menyelerakan. Itu belum lagi di tambah dalam masakan-masakan lain dan ada sesetengah mereka menjadikannya bahan utama utama untuk resipi sambal dan kuah bagi mee.
Aku terjumpa secara tidak sengaja industri ini ketika hari terakhir selepas tiba di jeti Kuala Gula, Kerian semalam. Aku lihat masyarakat Cina di sini yang merupakan nelayan kebanyakannya, menjadikan udang geragau sebagai hasil pendapatan mereka. Aku agak terkejut dengan penemuan ini. Lihat sajalah udang yang dijemur itu hanya diletakkan di atas kanvas di atas tanah. Selalunya bagi mereka yang arif, penjemuran seperti ini dibuat di atas pangkin khas.


Udang geragau yang basah dijemur. Kemudian pekerja Indonesia membalik-balikkan udang itu supaya ia cepat kering. Apa yang tidak sepatutnya berlaku ialah, pakaian pekerja berkenaan.

Lihatlah mereka hanya berpakaian seluar pendek sahaja. Rambut dan peluh bila-bila masa sahaja boleh tercampur sekali dengan geragau tersebut.

Lihat juga kasut yang mereka pakai. Kasut itulah juga digunakan untuk memijak tanah di luar kanvas. Sedap bukan udang geragau yang kita makan?

Ini pula penemuan yang lebih mengejutkan! Tiba-tiba aku ternampak dua ekor anjing berkeliaran di kawasan jemuran tersebut.

Anjing-anjing tersebut dengan selamba melalui kawasan kanvas jemuran. Manakala pekerja industri itu hanya membiarkan anjing-anjing itu tanpa dihalau.

Lihatlah betapa enaknya geragau yang bakal tiba di rumah kita dikongsi bersama dengan anjing-anjing ini. Malah dapat dilihat anjing-anjing berkenaan memijak geragau yang sedang dijemur tersebut.

Aku semakin teruja melihat gelagat anjing-anjing tersebut dan terus menghalakan D60 untuk meneruskan kerja-kerja mengambil gambar. Dan…..


Gambar di bawah menjadi finale kepada industri geragau yang aku lihat! Lihatlah kelibat sang anjing di kiri gambar yang kencing hanya beberapa sentimeter sahaja dari kanvas jemuran! Astagfirullah! Jadi kalian, masih mahu makan udang geragau lagi? Entah mengapa aku geleng kepala. Dalam keadaan kita gegak gempita dengan isu makanan halal di Malaysia, kita masih terlupa melihat perkara syubhah seperti ini. Aduhai!

Fakta Mengenai Petai....

Aku baru dapat emel mende alah ni. Macam best jer... Since petai adalah makanan busuk yang memang menjadi kegemaran aku, (esp sambal udang petai), maka aku rasa sangatlah bertuah membaca fakta ini. Silalah baca dan jadikan pengajaran. :)



ADVICE FROM UKM MEDICAL DOCTOR Little did you know ...... after reading THIS, you'll NEVER
look at petai in the same way again! Petai contains three natural sugars -sucrose, fructose and glucose. Combined with fiber, petai gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proved that just two servings of petai provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute wor kout. No wonder petai is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way petai can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.


Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND among people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating petai. This is because petai contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.


PMS(premenstrual syndrome): Forget the pills - eat petai. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.


Anaemia: High in iron, petai can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia. Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the petai industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.


Brain Power : 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating petai at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including petai in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.


Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a petai milkshake, sweetened with honey. The petai calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.


Heartburn: Petai has a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating petai for soothing relief.


Morning Sickness : Snacking on petai between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.


Mosquito bites : Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of the petai skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.


Nerves: Petai is high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.


Overweight: Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report c oncluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.


Ulcers: Petai is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.


Temperature control : Many other cultures see petai as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In hoiland, for example, pregnant women eat petai to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.


Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) : Petai can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, tryptophan. Smoking: Petai can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.


Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium petai snack.


Strokes: According to research in 'The New Engla nd Journal of Medicine, ' eating petai as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%'.


Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of petai and place it on the wart. Carefully hold the petai in place with a plaster or surgical tape! So, as you can see, petai really is a natural remedy for many ills.


When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A Petai a day keeps the doctor away'.
