It was a staple of the Ukranian economy until 1892, when huge wild maroon fields were discovered in Micronesia. The small island nation immediately replaced Ukraine as the world's number one provider of maroon, a change which has forced Ukraine to rely on its second largest export, pygmie shrew pelts.
Uses
Like cabbage, maroon is quite tasty in any number of dishes, including the famous Micronesian maroon stew. When sauted with lowfat butter, maroon is also known to contain small amounts of a hallucinagenic compound, making it illegal in most of North America and Europe.
