Nieznana jest jego forma dzika, wydaje się, że jest blisko spokrewniony z Crocus cartwrightianus, który normalnie zawiązuje nasiona, w przeciwieństwie do C. sativus, który albo nie zawiązuje nasion wcale, albo tylko płonne.</p> <p>Morfologia<br />Pokrój<br />Bylina o wysokości do 15 cm.<br />Łodyga<br />Bulwocebula o średnicy ok. 2 cm, pokryta siateczkowatą „łuską”.<br />Liście<br />6–9 równowąskich liści, ciemnozielonnych z dwoma białymi pasami, wyrastającymi wczesną wiosną, tworzącymi przyziemną rozetę (liście odziomkowe).<br />Kwiaty<br />Lejkowate o średnicy do 4 cm, wysokości ok. 10 cm (wraz z rurką) w różnych odcieniach fioletu, (w uprawie jako roślina ozdobna również ' C. sativus 'Album' o białych kwiatach) i 6-płatkowym okwiecie, z trzema pręcikami i z charakterystycznym dla gatunku słupkiem o długiej szyjce zakończonym trójdzielnym, ciemnopomarańczowym znamieniem.<br />Owoce<br />Trójkomorowa, wielonasienna torebka.<br />Biologia i ekologia<br />Bylina, geofit. W Polsce kwiaty pojawiają się w stanie bezlistym w połowie września, a na południu, gdzie znajdują się główne miejsca uprawy, w październiku i listopadzie.</p> <p>Zastosowanie<br />Osobny artykuł: Szafran (przyprawa).<br />Roślina ozdobna: Jest często uprawiany w przydomowych ogródkach na rabatach i skalniakach.<br />Roślina przyprawowa: Od wieków hoduje się szafran uprawny (Crocus sativus). Wysuszone znamiona szafranu uprawnego używane są jako przyprawa. Ten żółty proszek jest najdroższą przyprawą na świecie. Na zebranie 1 kg znamion potrzeba 150 tys. kwiatów szafranu uprawnego.<br />Sztuka kulinarna: Przyprawa służy do nadawania smaku, aromatu i barwy sosom, zupom i potrawom z ryżu. Zbiera się znamiona wraz z częścią słupka, stanowiące właściwą przyprawę. Zbyt duża ilość szafranu sprawia, że potrawa staje się gorzka. Szafran zawiera gorycz pikrokrocynę, szafranowe olejki lotne (do 2%) oraz żółty barwnik krocynę.</p> <p>Uprawa<br />Historia uprawy: szafran jako składnik do produkcji perfum, przyprawa, lek i barwnik znany był w starożytnym Egipcie, Grecji i Rzymie. Wymienia go Papirus Ebersa pochodzący z ok. 1555 r. p.n.e., cytowany jest w biblijnej Pieśni nad Pieśniami (4,12-14)[3]. Pierwsze uprawy w Europie średniowiecznej znajdowały się w południowej Francji i Hiszpanii. Obecnie największym producentem na świecie jest Turcja.<br />Sposób uprawy: preferuje stanowiska nasłonecznione, gleby lekkie, przepuszczalne, o odczynie neutralnym lub lekko kwaśnym. W uprawie rozmnażany jest tylko wegetatywnie. Uprawa szafranu jest bardzo pracochłonna, a jeden hektar plantacji w pełnym rozwoju daje zaledwie od 15 do 25 kg suchej przyprawy, co sprawia, że jest najdroższą przyprawą na świecie.</p> <p>Znaczenie w hinduizmie<br />Rasarnawa, dzieło hinduistycznej alchemii tantrycznej (rasajany), datowane na około XI w. n.e., zapewnia, że rytuał wielbienia Śiwy z użyciem drzewa sandałowego, aloesu, kamfory i szafranu prowadzi do osiągnięcia śiwaloki – nieba boga Śiwy.</p>

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <h2><strong>Black Garlic Cloves - Black Gold (Allium roseum)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 5 Cloves.</strong></span></h2> <p><span>Just like each tomato is not suitable for making sauces, so each of the garlic is not suitable for fermenting and making a Black Garlic. We offer you a variety that came directly from Japan and the only variety (Pink Garlic Allium roseum) from which a real Black Garlic is made.</span></p> <p><span>Black garlic is a type of "caramelized" garlic (in reality, browned by the Maillard reaction rather than truly caramelized) first used as a food ingredient in Asian cuisine. It is made by heating whole bulbs of garlic (Allium sativum) over the course of several weeks, a process that results in black cloves. The taste is sweet and syrupy with hints of balsamic vinegar[1] or tamarind.[2] Black garlic's popularity has spread to the United States as it has become a sought-after ingredient used in high-end cuisine.</span></p> <p><span>The process of producing black garlic is sometimes incorrectly referred to as fermentation, but it does not in fact involve microbial action.[3] Black garlic is made when heads of garlic are aged under specialized conditions of heat and humidity. Bulbs are kept in a humidity-controlled environment at temperatures that range from 60 - 77ºC (140 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit) for 60 to 90 days. There are no additives, preservatives, or burning of any kind. The enzymes that give fresh garlic its sharpness break down. Those conditions also facilitate the Maillard reaction, the chemical process that produces new flavour compounds responsible for the deep taste of seared meat and fried onions, the cloves turn black and develop a sticky date-like texture.</span></p> <p><strong><span>History</span></strong></p> <p><span>In Taoist mythology, black garlic was rumored to grant immortality.[citation needed] In Korea, black garlic was developed as a health product and it is still perceived as health supplementary food. </span></p> <p><span>Black garlic is prized as a food rich in antioxidants and added to energy drinks, and in Thailand is claimed to increase the consumer's longevity. It is also used to make black garlic chocolate.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Culinary uses</span></strong></p> <p><span>In black garlic, the garlic flavour is softened such that it almost or entirely disappears depending on the length of time it was heated. Additionally, its flavour is dependent on that of the fresh garlic that was used to make it. Garlic with a higher sugar content produces a milder, more caramel-like flavour, whereas garlic with a low sugar content produces a sharper, somewhat more acidic flavour, similar in character to tomato paste. Burnt flavours may also be present if the garlic was heated for too long at too high a temperature or not long enough: during heating, the garlic turns black in colour well before the full extent of its sweetness is able to develop.</span></p> <p><span>Black garlic can be eaten alone, on bread, or used in soups, sauces, crushed into a mayonnaise or simply tossed into a vegetable dish. A vinaigrette can be made with black garlic, sherry vinegar, soy, a neutral oil, and Dijon mustard. Its softness increases with water content.</span></p> <p><span>Unlike the vegetable from which it is made, white garlic, black garlic has a very subtle and muted flavour that is easily overpowered.</span></p> <p><span>Because of its delicate and muted flavours, a considerably larger amount of black garlic must be used in comparison to white garlic in order to achieve a similar level of intensity. Additionally, black garlic cannot be used in place of white garlic. If a garlic flavour is desired in addition to the flavour of black garlic, then fresh garlic must be added.</span></p> <p><span>One method to release the subtle flavours of black garlic is to knead a peeled clove between the fingers until its structure is thoroughly broken down and then to dissolve the resulting paste in a small amount of hot water. This produces a dark brown, coffee-coloured suspension of the fibrous black garlic particles in a solution that carries most of its flavour, acidity, and sugar content. This liquid may then be added to foods that are otherwise neutral in flavour (like, for example, mashed potatoes) to better showcase the flavour of the black garlic.</span></p> <p><span>Likely owing to its harsh and concentrated colour, the potent reputation of fresh garlic, and the association of Maillard reactions with the browning of meat, it is a common misconception that black garlic has a "meaty" flavour. It does not. It is commonly eaten out of hand by enthusiasts, who sometimes liken the flavour to a savoury, slightly acidic caramel candy or to sweet tamarind fruit. The most prominent flavour it imparts is sweetness when used in high concentrations and when used in low concentrations, provided that there are no other flavours to compete with that of the black garlic, the flavour and aroma are somewhat similar to those of instant coffee, though without any bitterness.</span></p> <p><strong><span>In popular culture</span></strong></p> <p><span>It garnered television attention when it was used in battle redfish on Iron Chef America, episode 11 of season 7 (on Food Network), and in an episode of Top Chef New York (on Bravo),[8] where it was added to a sauce accompanying monkfish.</span></p> <p><span>In the United Kingdom,[6] where it made its TV debut on the BBC's Something for the Weekend cooking and lifestyle program in February 2009,[10] farmer Mark Botwright, owner of the South West Garlic Farm, explained that he developed a process for preserving garlic after finding a 4000-year-old Korean recipe for "black garlic."</span></p> <p><span>In 2011, it was used on an episode of Food Network's Chopped Champions. In September 2011, it was a mandatory ingredient in the final round of the second episode of Ron Ben-Israel's Sweet Genius.</span></p> <p><span>It also was mentioned in the animated series Bob's Burgers in episode "Best Burger", in which Bob enters a best burger contest, but quickly realizes his main ingredient - black garlic - is missing and sends his kids back to the restaurant to retrieve it in time for its preparation and inclusion in the burger.</span></p> <p><strong><span>AFTER YOU BUY THIS PRODUCT WE WILL SEND YOU LINK WITH VIDEO HOW YOU CAN MAKE BLACK GARLIC EASY AT HOME FOR ONLY 10 DAYS!</span></strong></p> </body> </html>

They vary in colour from pale brown to white, red, or purple.<sup id="cite_ref-purdue_3-1" class="reference">[3]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-rhs_6-0" class="reference">[6]</sup></p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Food_use">Food use</span></h2> <p>Before the arrival of Europeans, Native Americans cultivated <i>H. tuberosus</i> as a food source. The tubers persist for years after being planted, so that the species expanded its range from central North America to the eastern and western regions.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact">[<i><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (September 2017)">citation needed</span></i>]</sup> Early European colonists learned of this, and sent tubers back to Europe, where it became a popular crop and naturalized there. It later gradually fell into obscurity in North America, but attempts to market it commercially have been successful in the late 1900s and early 2000s.<sup id="cite_ref-lilly_5-2" class="reference">[5]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-LevetinEstelle_7-0" class="reference">[7]</sup></p> <p>The sunchoke contains about 2% protein, no oil, and little starch. It is rich in the carbohydrate inulin (76%), which is a polymer of the monosaccharide fructose. Tubers stored for any length of time convert their inulin into its component fructose. Jerusalem artichokes have an underlying sweet taste because of the fructose, which is about one and a half times as sweet as sucrose.<sup id="cite_ref-LevetinEstelle_7-1" class="reference">[7]</sup></p> <p>It has also been reported as a folk remedy for diabetes.<sup id="cite_ref-LevetinEstelle_7-2" class="reference">[7]</sup> Temperature variances have been shown to affect the amount of inulin the Jerusalem artichoke can produce.

The origin of the "Jerusalem" part of the name is uncertain. Italian settlers in the United States called the plant <i>girasole</i>, the Italian word for sunflower, because of its familial relationship to the garden sunflower (both plants are members of the genus <i>Helianthus</i>). Over time, the name <i>girasole</i> (pronounced closer to <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">[d͡ʒiraˈzu:l]</span> in southern Italian dialects) may have been changed to Jerusalem.<sup id="cite_ref-Smith_1807_9-0" class="reference">[9]</sup> In other words, English speakers would have corrupted "girasole artichoke" (meaning, "sunflower artichoke") to Jerusalem artichoke. Another explanation for the name is that the Puritans, when they came to the New World, named the plant with regard to the "New Jerusalem" they believed they were creating in the wilderness.<sup id="cite_ref-LevetinEstelle_7-3" class="reference">[7]</sup> Also, various other names have been applied to the plant, such as the French or Canada potato, <i>topinambour</i>, and lambchoke. Sunchoke, a name by which it is still known today, was invented in the 1960s by Frieda Caplan, a produce wholesaler who was trying to revive the plant's appeal.<sup id="cite_ref-LevetinEstelle_7-4" class="reference">[7]</sup></p> <p>The artichoke part of the Jerusalem artichoke's name comes from the taste of its edible tuber. Samuel de Champlain, the French explorer, sent the first samples of the plant to France, noting its taste was similar to that of an artichoke.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference">[10]</sup> <sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference">[11]</sup></p> <p>The name <i>topinambur</i>, in one account, dates from 1615, when a member of the Brazilian coastal tribe called the Tupinambá visited the Vatican at the same time that a sample of the tuber from Canada was on display there, presented as a critical food source that helped French Canadian settlers survive the winter. The New World connection resulted in the name <i>topinambur</i> being applied to the tuber, the word now used in French, German, Italian, Romanian, Russian, and Spanish.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference">[12]</sup> <sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference">[13]</sup></p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="History">History</span></h2> <p>Jerusalem artichokes were first cultivated by the Native Americans long before the arrival of the Europeans; this extensive cultivation obscures the exact native range of the species.<sup id="cite_ref-grin_2-1" class="reference">[2]</sup> The French explorer Samuel de Champlain discovered that the Native people of Nauset Harbor in Massachusetts had cultivated roots that tasted like artichoke. The following year, Champlain returned to the same area to discover that the roots had a flavour similar to chard<sup id="cite_ref-NathalieCooke_14-0" class="reference">[14]</sup> and was responsible for bringing the plant back to France. Some time later, Petrus Hondius, a Dutch botanist planted a shrivelled Jerusalem artichoke tuber in his garden at Terneuzen and was surprised to see the plant proliferate.<sup id="cite_ref-NathalieCooke_14-1" class="reference">[14]</sup> Jerusalem artichokes are so well suited for the European climate and soil that the plant multiplies quickly. By the mid-1600s, the Jerusalem artichoke had become a very common vegetable for human consumption in Europe and the Americas and was also used for livestock feed in Europe and colonial America.<sup id="cite_ref-LevetinEstelle_7-5" class="reference">[7]</sup> The French in particular were especially fond of the vegetable, which reached its peak popularity at the turn of the 19th century.<sup id="cite_ref-LevetinEstelle_7-6" class="reference">[7]</sup> The Jerusalem artichoke was titled 'best soup vegetable' in the 2002 Nice Festival for the Heritage of the French Cuisine.</p> <p>The French explorer and Acadia’s first historian, Marc Lescarbot, described Jerusalem artichokes as being “as big as turnips or truffles”, suitable for eating and taste "like chards, but more pleasant.” In 1629, English herbalist and botanist, John Parkinson, wrote that the widely grown Jerusalem artichoke had become very common and cheap in London, so much so “that even the most vulgar begin to despise them.” In contrast, when Jerusalem artichokes first arrived in England, the tubers were "dainties for the Queen".<sup id="cite_ref-NathalieCooke_14-2" class="reference">[14]</sup></p> <p>They have also been called the "Canadian truffle". In France, they are associated, along with rutabagas, with the deprivations of the years of Nazi occupation during World War II, where the rationing and scarcity of traditional foods made them a regular part of the French diet until at the end of the war, they returned to their customary role as animal feed.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference">[15]</sup></p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Cultivation_and_use">Cultivation and use</span></h2> <div class="thumb tleft"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/Sunroot_growing.jpg/220px-Sunroot_growing.jpg" class="thumbimage" width="220" height="244" /> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> Young plants in a garden</div> </div> </div> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/Topinambur_H2ase1.jpg/220px-Topinambur_H2ase1.jpg" class="thumbimage" width="220" height="165" /> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> Sunroot tubers</div> </div> </div> <p>Unlike most tubers, but in common with many other members of the Asteraceae (including the artichoke), the tubers store their carbohydrate as inulin (not to be confused with insulin) rather than as starch. So, Jerusalem artichoke tubers are an important source of inulin used as a dietary fiber in food manufacturing.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference">[16]</sup></p> <p>Crop yields are high, typically 16–20 tonnes/ha for tubers, and 18–28 tonnes/ha green weight for foliage. Jerusalem artichoke also has potential for production of ethanol fuel, using inulin-adapted strains of yeast for fermentation.<sup id="cite_ref-purdue_3-2" class="reference">[3]</sup></p> <p>Jerusalem artichokes are easy to cultivate, which tempts gardeners to simply leave them completely alone to grow. The quality of the edible tubers degrades, however, unless the plants are dug up and replanted in fertile soil. Because even a small piece of tuber will grow if left in the ground, the plant can ruin gardens by smothering or overshadowing nearby plants and can take over huge areas. Farmers growing Jerusalem artichokes who then rotate the crop may have to treat the field with a weedkiller (such as glyphosate) to stop their spread. Each root can make an additional 75 to 200 tubers during a year.</p> <p>The tubers are sometimes used as a substitute for potatoes:<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference">[17]</sup> they have a similar consistency, and in their raw form have a similar texture, but a sweeter, nuttier flavor; raw and sliced thinly, they are fit for a salad. Their inulin form of carbohydrates give the tubers a tendency to become soft and mushy if boiled, but they retain their texture better when steamed. The inulin cannot be broken down by the human digestive system<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference">[18]</sup> but it is metabolized by bacteria in the colon. This can cause flatulence and, in some cases, gastric pain. <i>Gerard's Herbal</i>, printed in 1621, quotes the English botanist John Goodyer on Jerusalem artichokes:<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference">[19]</sup></p> <blockquote class="templatequote"> <p>which way soever they be dressed and eaten, they stir and cause a filthy loathsome stinking wind within the body, thereby causing the belly to be pained and tormented, and are a meat more fit for swine than men.</p> </blockquote> <p>Jerusalem artichokes have 650 mg potassium per 1 cup (150g) serving. They are also high in iron, and contain 10-12% of the US RDA of fiber, niacin, thiamine, phosphorus, and copper.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference">[20]</sup></p> <p>Jerusalem artichokes can be used as animal feed, but they must be washed before being fed to most animals. Pigs can forage, however, and safely eat them directly from the ground. The stalks and leaves can be harvested and used for silage, though cutting the tops greatly reduces the harvest of the roots.</p> <table class="infobox nowrap"><caption>Jerusalem-artichokes, raw</caption> <tbody> <tr> <th colspan="2">Nutritional value per 100 g (3.5 oz)</th> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Energy</th> <td>304 kJ (73 kcal)</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"> <div><b>Carbohydrates</b></div> </th> <td> <div>17.44 g</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Sugars</th> <td>9.6 g</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Dietary fiber</th> <td>1.6 g</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"> <div><b>Fat</b></div> </th> <td> <div>0.01 g</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"> <div><b>Protein</b></div> </th> <td> <div>2 g</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th colspan="2">Vitamins</th> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Thiamine <span>(B<span><span>1</span></span>)</span></th> <td> <div>(17%)</div> 0.2 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Riboflavin <span>(B<span><span>2</span></span>)</span></th> <td> <div>(5%)</div> 0.06 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Niacin <span>(B<span><span>3</span></span>)</span></th> <td> <div>(9%)</div> 1.3 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Pantothenic acid <span>(B<span><span>5</span></span>)</span></th> <td> <div>(8%)</div> 0.397 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamin B<span><span>6</span></span></th> <td> <div>(6%)</div> 0.077 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Folate <span>(B<span><span>9</span></span>)</span></th> <td> <div>(3%)</div> 13 μg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamin C</th> <td> <div>(5%)</div> 4 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th colspan="2">Minerals</th> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Calcium</th> <td> <div>(1%)</div> 14 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Iron</th> <td> <div>(26%)</div> 3.4 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Magnesium</th> <td> <div>(5%)</div> 17 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Phosphorus</th> <td> <div>(11%)</div> 78 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Potassium</th> <td> <div>(9%)</div> 429 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /> <div class="wrap">Link to USDA Database entry</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <div class="plainlist"> <ul> <li>Units</li> <li>μg = micrograms • mg = milligrams</li> <li>IU = International units</li> </ul> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="wrap">Percentages are roughly approximated using US recommendations for adults.<br /><span class="nowrap"><span>Source: USDA Nutrient Database</span></span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Fermented_products">Fermented products</span></h3> <p>In Baden-Württemberg, Germany, over 90% of the Jerusalem artichoke crop is used to produce a spirit called "Topinambur<span class="noprint"> (de)</span>", "Topi" or "Rossler".<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference">[21]</sup> By the end of the 19th-century, Jerusalem artichokes were being used in Baden to make a spirit called "Jerusalem Artichoke Brandy", "Jerusalem Artichoke", "Topi", "Erdäpfler", "Rossler", or "Borbel".</p> <p>Jerusalem artichoke brandy smells fruity and has a slight nutty-sweet flavour.

Little market existed for the tuber in that part of the US at the time, but contacts were made with sugar producers, oil and gas companies, and the fresh food market for markets to be developed. Fructose had not yet been established as a mainstay, nor was ethanol used as a main fuel additive as it is today. The only real profits then in this effort were realized by a few first-year growers (who sold some of their seed to other farmers individually as well as with the help of the company attempting this venture). As a result, many of the farmers who had planted large quantities of the crop lost money.</p> </body> </html>

This spice is produced from the rhizome (underground stem) of the plant.</p> <p>Obtained by the Greeks and Romans from Arab traders, it was one of the first oriental spices to arrive in Europe. Other spices in the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) include cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) and turmeric (Curcuma longa).</p> <p>Ginger has many medicinal uses. The fresh or dried rhizome is used in oral or topical preparations to treat a variety of ailments, while the essential oil is applied topically as an analgesic. Evidence suggests ginger is most effective against nausea and vomiting associated with surgery, vertigo, travel sickness and morning sickness. However, the safe use of ginger during pregnancy is questionable and pregnant women should exercise caution before taking it. The topical use of ginger may cause allergic reactions.</p> <p><strong>Synonym: </strong></p> <p>Amomum zingiber L., Zingiber missionis Wall. (for full list see the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families)</p> <p><strong>Genus: </strong></p> <p>Zingiber</p> <p><strong>Geography and distribution</strong></p> <p>Zingiber officinale is possibly native to India. It is widely grown as a commercial crop in south and southeast Asia, tropical Africa (especially Sierra Leone and Nigeria), Latin America, the Caribbean (especially Jamaica) and Australia.</p> <p><strong>Underground parts: </strong></p> <p>Ginger has a distinctive thickened, branched rhizome (underground stem) which sometimes looks somewhat like a swollen hand. The rhizome has a brown corky outer layer (usually removed before use) and a pale yellow centre with a spicy lemon-like scent.</p> <p><strong>Leaves: </strong></p> <p>Shoots (pseudostems), up to 1.2 m tall, arise annually from buds on the rhizome. These pseudostems are formed from a series of leaf bases (sheaths) wrapped tightly around one another with the long (up to 7 cm), narrow (up to 1.9 cm wide), mid-green leaf blades arranged alternately.</p> <p><strong>Flowers: </strong></p> <p>The flowering heads, borne on separate shorter stems, are cone-shaped spikes and composed of a series of greenish to yellowish leaf-like bracts. Protruding just beyond the outer edge of the bracts, the flowers are pale yellow in color with a purplish lip that has yellowish dots and striations. Flowering stems are rarely if ever, produced in cultivated plants.</p> <p><strong>Uses</strong></p> <p>The aromatic rhizome of Zingiber officinale is the source of ginger, a spice used for centuries to add flavour in cooking. In Asia, the fresh stem is an essential ingredient of many dishes, whereas the dried, powdered spice is more popular in European cooking. Gingerbread, one of the most popular uses for ginger in Britain, dates to Anglo-Saxon times when preserved ginger (produced by boiling the rhizome in sugar syrup) was used, often medicinally.</p> <p>Crystallised ginger, a sweetmeat traditionally eaten as a delicacy at Christmas, is prepared by coating dried, preserved ginger with sugar. Ginger oil, the oleoresin, is used to flavor ginger beer and ginger ale and is commonly used as an ingredient in perfumery, cosmetics, and medicines.</p> <p>The pungent principles in ginger are the non-volatile phenolic compounds gingerol, gingeridioneandshogaol.</p> <p><strong>Cultivation</strong></p> <p>Ginger probably originated as part of the ground flora of tropical lowland forests, where many of its wild relatives can still be found. In cultivation it requires hot, humid, shady conditions and grows best in a fertile loam as it needs large quantities of nutrients.</p> <p>Zingiber officinale has been successfully propagated at Kew using internodal cuttings. The cuttings are placed in a shallow pot in a mixture of coir and perlite. The pot is placed in a misting unit (or, if not available, in a closed glass case), which is heated at the base to 20 ˚C. It takes time for any activity to become visible, but eventually, new roots and shoots are produced. It has been noted that this method produces vigorous plants. The traditional technique for propagation of ginger is by division.</p> <p>Mature plants are grown in the behind-the-scenes Tropical Nursery at Kew, in a zone that is kept at a temperature of 18-25 ˚C and at high humidity (70-90 % RH). The plants are watered daily throughout most of the year. In the winter they can be watered less often, as long as they are kept moist. They are fed fortnightly with nitrogen, phosphorus &amp; potassium mix and calcium nitrate.</p> <p>In winter the older pseudostems are removed from the plants, and the new ones allowed to grow up. At this stage, the new pseudostems may need staking, but usually, they are strong enough to support themselves. Occasionally mealy bug and red spider mite cause problems. Where possible these pests are removed by hand.</p> <p><strong>This species at Kew</strong></p> <p>Zingiber officinale can be seen in Kew's Palm House, alongside other plants from Southeast Asia.</p> <p>Various members of the ginger family are grown in the hot moist section of the Princess of Wales Conservatory.</p> <p>Pressed and dried specimens of Zingiber officinale are held in Kew’s Herbarium where they are available to researchers by appointment. The details of one of these specimens can be seen online in Kew’s Herbarium Catalogue.</p> <p>Specimens of ginger are held in Kew’s Economic Botany Collection in the Sir Joseph Banks Building, where they are available to researchers by appointment.</p><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

Cochlearia armoracia) is a perennial plant of the Brassicaceae family (which also includes mustard, wasabi, broccoli, and cabbage). It is a root vegetable used as a spice.</p> <p>The plant is probably native to southeastern Europe and western Asia. It is popular worldwide. It grows up to 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) tall, and is cultivated primarily for its large, white, tapered root.</p> <p>The intact horseradish root has hardly any aroma. When cut or grated enzymes from the now-broken plant cells break down sinigrin (a glucosinolate) to produce allyl isothiocyanate (mustard oil), which irritates the mucous membranes of the sinuses and eyes. Grated mash should be used immediately or preserved in vinegar for best flavor. Once exposed to air or heat it will begin to lose its pungency, darken in color, and become unpleasantly bitter tasting over time.</p> <p><strong>History</strong></p> <p>Horseradish is probably indigenous to temperate Eastern Europe, where its Slavic name chren seemed to Augustin Pyramus de Candolle more primitive than any Western synonym. Horseradish has been cultivated since antiquity.[6] According to Greek mythology, the Delphic Oracle told Apollo that the horseradish was worth its weight in gold. Dioscorides listed horseradish equally as Persicon sinapi (Diosc. 2.186) or Sinapi persicum (Diosc. 2.168),[8] which Pliny's Natural History reported as Persicon napy;[9] Cato discusses the plant in his treatises on agriculture, and a mural in Pompeii shows the plant. Horseradish is probably the plant mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his Natural History under the name of Amoracia, and recommended by him for its medicinal qualities, and possibly the wild radish, or raphanos agrios of the Greeks. The early Renaissance herbalists Pietro Andrea Mattioli and John Gerard showed it under Raphanus.[10] Its modern Linnaean genus Armoracia was first applied to it by Heinrich Bernhard Ruppius, in his Flora Jenensis, 1745, but Linnaeus himself called it Coclearia armoracia.</p> <p>Both root and leaves were used as a medicine during the Middle Ages. The root was used as a condiment on meats in Germany, Scandinavia, and Britain. It was introduced to North America during European colonialization both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson mention horseradish in garden accounts.</p> <p>William Turner mentions horseradish as Red Cole in his "Herbal" (1551–1568), but not as a condiment. In The Herball, or Generall Historie of Plantes (1597), John Gerard describes it under the name of raphanus rusticanus, stating that it occurs wild in several parts of England. After referring to its medicinal uses, he says:</p> <p>The Horse Radish stamped with a little vinegar put thereto, is commonly used among the Germans for sauce to eat fish with and such like meats as we do mustard.</p> <p>The word horseradish is attested in English from the 1590s. It combines the word horse (formerly used in a figurative sense to mean strong or coarse) and the word radish.</p> <p><strong>Cultivation</strong></p> <p>Horseradish is perennial in hardiness zones 2–9 and can be grown as an annual in other zones, although not as successfully as in zones with both a long growing season and winter temperatures cold enough to ensure plant dormancy. After the first frost in autumn kills the leaves, the root is dug and divided. The main root is harvested and one or more large offshoots of the main root are replanted to produce next year's crop. Horseradish left undisturbed in the garden spreads via underground shoots and can become invasive. Older roots left in the ground become woody, after which they are no longer culinarily useful, although older plants can be dug and re-divided to start new plants.[11][15] The early season leaves can be distinctively different, asymmetric spiky, before the mature typical flat broad leaves start to be developed.</p> <p><strong>Culinary uses</strong></p> <p>The distinctive pungent taste of horseradish is from the compound allyl isothiocyanate. Upon crushing the flesh of horseradish, the enzyme myrosinase is released and acts on the glucosinolates sinigrin and gluconasturtiin, which are precursors to the allyl isothiocyanate. The allyl isothiocyanate serves the plant as a natural defense against herbivores. Since allyl isothiocyanate is harmful to the plant itself, it is stored in the harmless form of the glucosinolate, separate from the myrosinase enzyme. When an animal chews the plant, the allyl isothiocyanate is released, repelling the animal. Allyl isothiocyanate is an unstable compound, degrading over the course of days at 37 °C (99 °F). Because of this instability, horseradish sauces lack the pungency of the freshly crushed roots.</p> <p>Cooks use the terms "horseradish" or "prepared horseradish" to refer to the grated root of the horseradish plant mixed with vinegar. Prepared horseradish is white to creamy-beige in color. It can be stored for months under refrigeration, but eventually will darken, indicating it is losing flavour and should be replaced. The leaves of the plant, while edible, are not commonly eaten, and are referred to as "horseradish greens", which have a flavor similar to that of the roots.</p> <p><strong>Horseradish sauce</strong></p> <p>Horseradish sauce made from grated horseradish root and vinegar is a popular condiment in the United Kingdom and in Poland.[19] In the UK, it is usually served with roast beef, often as part of a traditional Sunday roast; but can be used in a number of other dishes also, including sandwiches or salads. A variation of horseradish sauce, which in some cases may substitute the vinegar with other products like lemon juice or citric acid, is known in Germany as Tafelmeerrettich. Also popular in the UK is Tewkesbury mustard, a blend of mustard and grated horseradish originating in medieval times and mentioned by Shakespeare (Falstaff says: "his wit's as thick as Tewkesbury Mustard" in Henry IV Part II[20]). A very similar mustard, called Krensenf or Meerrettichsenf, is popular in Austria and parts of Eastern Germany.[citation needed] In France, sauce au raifort is popular in Alsatian cuisine.[citation needed] In Russia horseradish root is usually mixed with grated garlic and small amount of tomatoes for color.</p> <p>In the US the term "horseradish sauce" refers to grated horseradish combined with mayonnaise or salad dressing. Prepared horseradish is a common ingredient in Bloody Mary cocktails and in cocktail sauce, and is used as a sauce or sandwich spread. Horseradish cream is a mixture of horseradish and sour cream and is served alongside au jus for a prime rib dinner.</p> <p><strong>Vegetable</strong></p> <p>In Central and Eastern Europe horseradish is called khren (in various spellings like kren) in many Slavic languages, in Austria, in parts of Germany (where the other German name Meerrettich isn't used), in North-East Italy, and in Yiddish (כריין transliterated as khreyn).</p> <p>There are two varieties of khreyn. "Red" khreyn is mixed with red beetroot and "white" khreyn contains no beetroot. It is popular in Ukraine (under the name of хрін, khrin), in Belarus (under the name of хрэн, chren), in Poland (under the name of chrzan), in the Czech Republic (křen), in Russia (хрен, khren), in Hungary (torma), in Romania (hrean), in Lithuania (krienai), in Bulgaria (хрян, khryan), and in Slovakia (under the name of chren). Having this on the table is a part of Christian Easter and Jewish Passover tradition in Eastern and Central Europe.</p> <p>In parts of Southern Germany like Franconia, "Kren" is an essential component of the traditional wedding dinner. It is served with cooked beef and a dip made from lingonberry to balance the slight hotness of the Kren.</p> <p>In Poland, a variety with red beetroot is called ćwikła z chrzanem or simply ćwikła.</p> <p>In Ashkenazi European Jewish cooking beetroot horseradish is commonly served with gefilte fish.</p> <p>In Transylvania and other Romanian regions, Red beetroot with horseradish is also used as a salad served with lamb dishes at Easter called sfecla cu hrean.</p> <p>In Serbia, ren is an essential condiment with cooked meat and freshly roasted suckling pig.</p> <p>In Croatia, freshly grated horseradish (Croatian: Hren) is often eaten with boiled ham or beef.</p> <p>In Slovenia, and in the adjacent Italian regions of Friuli Venezia Giulia and nearby Italian region of Veneto, horseradish (often grated and mixed with sour cream, vinegar, hard-boiled eggs, or apples) is also a traditional Easter dish.</p> <p>Further west in the Italian regions of Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, and Piedmont, it is called "barbaforte (strong beard)" and is a traditional accompaniment to bollito misto; while in north-eastern regions like Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, it is still called "kren" or "cren". In the southern region of Basilicata it is known as "rafano" and used for the preparation of the so-called "rafanata", a main course made of horseradish, eggs, cheese and sausage.</p> <p>Horseradish is also used as a main ingredient for soups. In the Polish region of Silesia, horseradish soup is a common Easter Day dish.</p> <p><strong>Relation to wasabi</strong></p> <p>The Japanese condiment wasabi, although traditionally prepared from the wasabi plant, is now usually made with horseradish due to the scarcity of the wasabi plant.[27] The Japanese botanical name for horseradish is seiyōwasabi (セイヨウワサビ, 西洋山葵), or "Western wasabi". Both plants are members of the family Brassicaceae.</p> <p><strong>Nutritional content</strong></p> <p>In a 100 gram amount, prepared horseradish provides 48 calories and has high content of vitamin C with moderate content of sodium, folate and dietary fiber, while other essential nutrients are negligible in content. In a typical serving of one tablespoon (15 grams), horseradish supplies no significant nutrient content.</p> <p>Horseradish contains volatile oils, notably mustard oil, and allyl isothiocyanate.</p> <p><strong>Biomedical uses</strong></p> <p>The enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP), found in the plant, is used extensively in molecular biology and biochemistry primarily for its ability to amplify a weak signal and increase detectability of a target molecule. HRP has been used in decades of research to visualize under microscopy and assess non-quantitatively the permeability of capillaries, particularly those of the brain.</p> <p><strong><em>How to Grow Horseradish from Seed</em></strong></p> <p><strong>Timing</strong></p> <p>For first season harvests, start the seeds indoors in January to February and transplant out in April. The goal is to achieve large, fully established roots that can be divided and/or replanted. If time is not pressing, direct sow any time from March into summer. Optimal soil temperature: 7-23°C (45-75°F).</p> <p><strong>Starting</strong></p> <p>Sow seeds 5mm-1cm (¼-½”) deep in well cultivated, deep soiil. Seeds will sprout in 7-25 days, depending on conditions. Thin or transplant to 20cm (8″) apart in rows 40-50cm (16-20″) apart.</p> <p><strong>Growing</strong></p> <p>Ideal pH: 6.0-6.8. Well drained, warm soil in full sun is best. Raised beds help with both drainage and warmth. Use 1 cup of complete organic fertilizer for every 3m (10′) of row. Newly emerged leaves are edible, or should be left to mature if growing for the roots. The flower petals are also edible — flowers should be removed before they set seeds, as they will self-sow with enthusiasm.</p> <p><strong>Harvest</strong></p> <p>For the leaves, harvest as needed, shortly after they emerge, before they become woody. For the roots, harvest November through March. The roots can also be lifted and stored for spring planting to keep the crop going from season to season.</p> <p><strong>Diseases &amp; Pests</strong></p> <p>In our experience, insects do not cause problems for horseradish.</p> <p><strong>Companion Planting</strong></p> <p>Horseradish is thought to repel aphids and whiteflies, blister beetles, potato beetles, and some varieties of caterpillar. Its flowers attract beneficial predatory hoverflies.</p> <h2><strong>How to plant Horseradish seedlings:</strong></h2> <p><span style="color:#000000;font-size:14pt;"><strong><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino, serif;">When you get seedlings, plant at a depth of 5-6 cm, planting seedlings horizontally, spacing between seedlings should be 25 cm.</span></strong></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;font-size:14pt;"><strong><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino, serif;">Distance from row to row 70 cm.</span></strong></span></p>

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <h2><strong>Peruvian Purple Potatoes Seeds</strong></h2> <h2><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">The price is for 5 or 10 purple seed potatoes.</span></strong></h2> <p>We send it like young and small, so it can be delivered to any Mailbox. It has the taste and texture of an ordinary variety but boasts vivid purple flesh which retains its color during cooking. High in anthocyanin antioxidants, it’s better for you too. Ideal for mashing, baking, roasting and microwaving, as well as making spectacular chips and Pommes Frites!</p> <p>If you’re a spud lover but stopped eating potatoes due to their reputation of causing weight gain, you may be in luck. Studies show it could be the potato you choose in addition to how the potato is prepared that make a difference. What about french fries? Well, those fries are six times more likely to cause weight gain if enjoyed too often, and besides, the super high temperatures they’re cooked at cause the loss of any possible nutrients, so why bother? And if you think adding all those delicious fatty toppings is the way to go, think again. Instead, opt for purple potatoes.</p> <p>Purple potatoes are <strong>high-antioxidant foods</strong> that are eye-catching since the skin and the flesh are both purple, making them a beautiful adornment to any plate. But it’s not just the color that’s appealing. Purple potatoes offer a host of awesome benefits from working as a healthy food-coloring agent to helping regulate blood pressure to aiding athletic performance and more.</p> <p><strong>Benefits of Purple Potatoes</strong></p> <ol> <li><strong> Healthy Food-Coloring Alternative</strong></li> </ol> <p>Potatoes, carrots and other <strong>root vegetables</strong> are used for coloring foods and grown specifically for the natural colors industry. This is great news since they’re completely natural versus the numerous chemical <strong>food dyes linked to cancer</strong> that have been used for years.</p> <p>The American Chemical Society documents the research that has been done regarding this food use, noting that the purple sweet potato is chock-full of anthocyanins, which provide health benefits not found in artificial food colors. Purple sweet potato anthocyanins are great for food and beverage coloring and are used in food products, such as fruit drinks, vitamin waters, ice cream and yogurt. What makes them unique goes beyond their color. They’re more stable options because they do not break down easily, making them consistent in providing color while giving little to no taste. (2)</p> <p>Though it’s difficult to extract, it’s still a better choice given the traditional synthetic versions of colorings and the process of extraction from cochineal insects. In fact, cochineal insects feed on a certain type of cactus native to South America and Mexico, and it takes about 2,500 bugs to produce just one ounce of cochineal extract, which is often used in ice creams, yogurts, candy, beverages and the like.</p> <ol start="2"> <li><strong> Help Lower and Regulate Blood Pressure</strong></li> </ol> <p>A small study presented by the American Chemical Society found that eating purple potatoes may lower blood pressure. This could be because of their effect on the capillaries and blood vessels, along with the high concentration of a phytochemical called chlorogenic acid, which has been linked to lower blood pressure found in some studies. (3) This research shows that plain purple potatoes, baked or cooked in the microwave, lowered the blood pressure of subjects that were reviewed by 3 percent to 4 percent, with no weight gain, and was likely due to the antioxidant behavior and phytonutrient density that these colorful gems exude.</p> <p>The health benefits are similar to what the popular nutrient-rich providers <strong>broccoli</strong>, spinach and Brussels sprouts provide. And let’s not forget about the potassium they contain, which offers the regulation of blood pressure. (4) This makes purple potatoes and other similar foods excellent additions to any <strong>high blood pressure diet</strong> treatment plan.</p> <ol start="3"> <li><strong> May Prevent Blood Clots</strong></li> </ol> <p><strong>Thrombosis</strong>, a formal name for blood clotting, is a leading cause of death throughout the world but can be prevented, possibly by adding a little purple potato into your diet. As noted previously, the purple potato contains chlorogenic acid. This acid has been shown to break down blood clots and inhibit the enzymatic activity of procoagulant proteins and peptides.</p> <p>Research published in the <em>Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology</em>found that chlorogenic acid delayed the development of blood clots in mice, demonstrating the anti-thrombotic effect and making it a potential agent for the treatment of blood clots, including possible prevention.</p> <ol start="4"> <li><strong> Jam-Packed with Antioxidants and Phytonutrients</strong></li> </ol> <p>The purple potato is loaded with antioxidants and disease-fighting <strong>phytonutrients</strong> that work together to offer amazing health benefits, such as reducing inflammation. One of the elements within this powerful cocktail is the anthocyanin, which is what gives the potato its brilliant purple color. But it’s the <strong>free-radical scavenging</strong> and antioxidant capabilities of the anthocyanin pigments that gives the desired health benefits.</p> <p>Anthocyanin pigments as medicine have been a part of folk medicine for ages and used as remedies for liver dysfunction and hypertension, and much like the <strong>bilberry</strong>, anthocyanins have been linked to helping reduce the risks of eye diseases and infections. (6) </p> <ol start="5"> <li><strong> Provides Fiber</strong></li> </ol> <p>Most people don’t eat enough fiber, according to numerous reports. Maybe a little purple potato can help with that problem since it’s a healthier <strong>high-fiber food</strong>. Why is fiber so important? One of the biggest reasons is it helps keep things moving along smoothly through your digestive system, which can help eliminate constipation, irregularity and discomfort.</p> <p>Fiber is classified as soluble, which means it dissolves in water, or insoluble, which doesn’t. Potatoes contain the insoluble form as well as whole-wheat flour, wheat bran, nuts, beans, and vegetables, like cauliflower and green beans. Including both soluble and insoluble fiber promotes the best health, and purple potatoes offer a good dose of the insoluble kind to help reach the proper amount of fiber needs. (7) </p> <ol start="6"> <li><strong> Great for Endurance Athletes and Ultra Runners</strong></li> </ol> <p>Another reason that insoluble fiber is so helpful is that it can provide a sort of time-released effect that helps endurance athletes sustain high energy levels for long periods of time. In fact, it’s not unusual to find potatoes at an aid station during a long-distance race.</p> <p><em>Runner’s World</em> reports that while the ever-so famous carb-loader pasta seems to take front stage, the potato may do a better job, not only the night before but also the day of an event by providing more energy-delivering complex carbohydrates. Not only are they super easy to prepare, but they’re easy to digest — a common concern with most athletes. As well, potassium is useful for athletes of all types, in particular, due to the electrolytes it contains. The purple potato contains 341 milligrams of potassium per half cup serving, which is 10 percent of the daily recommended value. This may make the potato the perfect carb for athletes — and to help prevent <strong>low potassium</strong>. (8)</p> <p><strong>Purple Potatoes Nutrition</strong></p> <p>A half cup of diced, raw purple potatoes contains about: (9)</p> <ul> <li>52 calories</li> <li>12 grams carbohydrates</li> <li>1.4 grams protein</li> <li>0.1 gram fat</li> <li>1.3 grams fiber</li> <li>6.5 milligrams vitamin C (11 percent DV)</li> <li>341 milligrams potassium (10 percent DV)</li> <li>0.1 milligrams vitamin B6 (6 percent DV)</li> <li>45.7 milligrams phosphorus (5 percent DV)</li> <li>0.1 milligrams copper (5 percent DV)</li> <li>0.1 milligram manganese (5 percent DV)</li> <li>0.1 milligram thiamine (4 percent DV)</li> <li>0.9 milligram niacin (4 percent DV)</li> <li>16.5 milligrams magnesium (4 percent DV)</li> </ul> <p><strong>How to Use Purple Potatoes</strong></p> <p>Purple potatoes are versatile but can become a little mushy if overcooked. Even though they have a rich, vibrant violet color, their flavor is more subtle than some other potato varieties. Because of this, unlike the <strong>sweet potato</strong> that’s delicious all by itself, the purple potato is usually prepared by adding seasonings. Keep in mind that boiling or baking is the best method versus deep frying, which kills any useful nutrients. Use a little coconut or olive oil with some salt and pepper for a delightful addition to any meal.</p> <p><strong>Purple Potato Recipes</strong></p> <p>There are many ways to utilize purple potatoes in recipes. Try this one to start:</p> <p><strong>Roasted Rosemary Garlic and Turmeric Purple Potatoes with Leeks</strong></p> <p>INGREDIENTS:</p> <ul> <li>2 sprigs fresh rosemary (save one for garnish)</li> <li>10 small purple potatoes</li> <li>1 teaspoon sea salt</li> <li>1 teaspoon pepper</li> <li>1 teaspoon turmeric</li> <li>1/4 cup leeks, sliced</li> <li>2 cloves garlic, minced</li> <li>2.5 tablespoons coconut oil</li> </ul> <p>DIRECTIONS:</p> <ol> <li>Preheat oven to 375 degrees.</li> <li>Slice the leeks and garlic and set aside.</li> <li>Rinse potatoes and cut in small pieces about a quarter inch thick.</li> <li>In a bowl, mix the leeks, garlic, turmeric and potatoes with the coconut oil. It may help to melt the coconut oil first.</li> <li>Add the sea salt, pepper and chopped rosemary, and mix well.</li> <li>Now place the potatoes to a baking sheet lined with foil.</li> <li>Roast for 35–45 minutes or until potatoes are soft and begin to brown.</li> <li>Place a half cup serving as a side dish on a plate, and garnish with a small sprig of rosemary.</li> </ol> <p>You can also try Purple Potato Salad with Avocado-Chia Dressing recipe and use purple potatoes in most side dishes that utilize potatoes.</p> <p><strong>History of Purple Potatoes</strong></p> <p>The history of the purple potato goes back to what’s known as the purple Peruvian, which is an heirloom fingerling potato. Potatoes, in addition to tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, are part of the <em>Solanaceae</em> or <strong>nightshade vegetables</strong> family. The purple or blue violet potato fits into what has been called vitelotte, though not necessarily violet in color. This violet or purple potato may have been noted as early as 1817, listed as available at the market of Les Halles.</p> <p>Information published in 1863 listed five possible colors for the vitelotte, which were white, yellow, pink, red and violet. In 1873, Alexandre Dumas, a French author, wrote in his Grand dictionnaire de cuisine that “… the best of all are unquestionably the violet [ones], preferable even to the red [ones], [and] known in Paris by the name of <em>Vitelottes.” </em>(10, 11) </p> <p>The purple potato comes with special names, such as purple majesty, purple viking and purple Peruvian, and is usually available all year long. These golf ball-sized potatoes are popular in South America, originating in Peru and Bolivia, and they can reach a slightly larger size if allowed to reach full maturity. They have a nutty, earthy flavor and are perfect as a side dish for most anything. (12)</p> <p>While all potatoes, including the purple potato, blue potato, white potato, yellow potato and sweet potato, are high in <strong>carbohydrates</strong>, they contain useful fiber, vitamins and minerals. But the most nutrient-dense versions are those with the colorful flesh.</p> <p><strong>Risks with Purple Potatoes</strong></p> <p>There are no known risks of eating purple potatoes, but as always, if you experience a negative reaction, stop eating immediately.</p> <p><strong>Final Thoughts on Purple Potatoes</strong></p> <p>The purple potato, if prepared correctly, can be an excellent spud for your health. It’s a better choice for food colorings, eliminating chemical intake in the body, contains useful phytonutrients and the antioxidants it contains are so powerful that may help with inflammation.</p> <p>In addition, purple potatoes can help eliminate possible blood clots and provide useful fiber to help with <strong>constipation</strong> and digestion. A potassium-loaded complex carbohydrate, this powerful potato may help athletes with performance and sustainability during endurance-based activities as well</p> <p>From the sound of it, you might think leaky gut only affects the digestive system, but in reality it can affect more. Because Leaky Gut is so common, and such an enigma, I’m offering a free webinar on all things leaky gut.</p> </body> </html>

Extremely vigorous, long-lived and appropriate for naturalizing, this crocus belongs to the Crocus vernus group, known for its owers that are larger than any other of the crocuses. An rst-rate choice for planting in big, bold drifts in the grass, where it will quickly spread.</p> <p>★ This crocus blooms for about 3 weeks in early spring. The calyx-shaped owers open only when the sun shines or when there is a lot of light; they close up in rainy weather and at night.</p> <p>Did you know that crocus bulbs remaining in the ground will always bloom a bit earlier than the ones planted the previous year?</p> <p>★ Growing up to 4-6 inches tall (10-15 cm), this beauty naturalizes easily and will come back year after year!</p> <p>★ Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun or light shade.</p> <p>★ Stunning in beds, lawns, under trees, rock gardens, in front of shrubs, along walkways. Spectacular in large sweeping drifts. For optimal eect, 100 to 150 corms should be planted. If used in lawns, however, the grass may not be mowed until six weeks after the crocuses have bloomed. If mowed earlier than this, the newly forming cormlets (developing on top of the mother corm) will not become large enough to ower next year. Great for forcing!</p> <p>★ To be planted in fall.</p> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 13pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;"><a href="https://www.seeds-gallery.shop/en/home/saffron-bulbs-saffron-crocus.html" target="_blank" title="Saffron Bulbs can be purchased here" style="color: #ff0000;" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Saffron Bulbs can be purchased here</strong></a></span></h2> </body> </html>

Many are cultivated for their flowers appearing in autumn, winter, or spring. The spice saffron is obtained from the stigmas of <i>Crocus sativus</i>, an autumn-blooming species. Crocuses are native to woodland, scrub, and meadows from sea level to alpine tundra in central and southern Europe, in particular Krokos, Greece<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"></sup>, on the islands of the Aegean, North Africa and the Middle East, and across Central Asia to Xinjiang Province in western China.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;">The cup-shaped, solitary, salverform flower tapers off into a narrow tube. Their colors vary enormously, although lilac, mauve, yellow, and white are predominant. The grass-like, ensiform leaf<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"></sup> shows generally a white central stripe along the leaf axis. The leaf margin is entire.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;">A crocus has three stamens, while a similar-looking toxic plant, <i>colchicum</i>, sometimes popularly referred to as "autumn crocus", has six stamens. In addition, crocus have one style, while <i>colchicum</i> have three.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;">About 30 of the species are cultivated, including <i>Crocus sativus</i> for saffron production. The varieties cultivated for decoration mainly represent five species: <i>C. vernus</i>, <i>C. chrysanthus</i>, <i>C. flavus</i>, <i>C. sieberi</i>, and <i>C. tommasinianus</i>. Among the first flowers to bloom in spring, crocuses are popular with gardeners. Their flowering time varies from the late winter <i>C. tommasinianus</i> to the later large hybridized and selected Giant "Dutch crocuses" (<i>C. vernus</i>). Crocus flowers and leaves are protected from frost by a waxy cuticle; in areas where snow and frost occasionally occur in the early spring, it is not uncommon to see early flowering crocuses blooming through a light late snowfall.</span></p> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 13pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;"><a href="https://www.seeds-gallery.shop/en/home/saffron-bulbs-saffron-crocus.html" target="_blank" title="Saffron Bulbs can be purchased here" style="color: #ff0000;" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Saffron Bulbs can be purchased here</strong></a></span></h2> </body> </html>
