The Cumbanais a vegetable which grows in large fields on the floor of streaming waters. The fruits are rich and fleshy inside [ imagine a cucumber ], covered by several layers of strong leaves [ imagine closed corn. ]. Although predjudiced as "poor people food", you shall not underestimate their healthy ingredients.In warm seasons, almost daily one of the fruits per plant on the ground ripens and starts to rise during the early hours of the day, up to the surface of the river, connected to the main plant on the floor with a long stem. It floats on the surface during noon, and finally opens the fruit covering leaves.
Getting experience, eh?
