Aapsang (Flora)

Aapsang is a staple crop grown in parts of the eastern tropical belt. It needs rich soil and submerged conditions to grow, but produces a high yield when these requirements are met, and is therefore commonly grown in artificially-constructed paddies. Its seeds contain pyranoanthocyanin dimers that lend pale turquoise hues to most varieties. The edible flowers are bioluminescent, glowing green to attract pollinating insects.
