Kris Plant

Kris plant is a flowering plant that grows naturally in tropical and subtropical environments, though many cultivate the plant outside of these regions. The corms of kris plants are processed to make them edible for the wider populace. However, the plant is generally poisonous. Hence specific permits are required to condone the harvesting of this plants in many settlements, particularly tropical and subtropical ones where anybody could feasibly harvest the plant and brew potent poisons unregulated.

History & Usage

Everyday use

While some common folk may have developed a taste for carefully processed kris plant corms, most only interact with the plant to cultivate it for aesthetic reasons.
In regions where kris plant grows natively, many settlements have had to take measures against the people using them to brew potent and easily-accessible poisons.

Cultural Significance and Usage

Kris plant is said to act as a conduit for one to channel the spirit of their ancestors and achieve strength, courage, and balance. As a result of this exciting concept, it has been cultivated by gardeners even beyond the native tropical regions.

Refinement

To eat kris plant corms, the plant must first be boiled extensively and often mixed with tamarind to break down some of the toxic compounds within.

Hazards

Kris plant is generally considered too toxic to be edible, and while some have achieved a means to avoid the poison within there is still a considerable risk of intoxication if it is imbibed.

Distribution

Law & Regulation

In tropical settlements it is against the law to harvest kris plant without a permit. These permits are generally only given to highly trusted chefs. Receiving such a permit is a sign of tremendous prestige and trust.
