Fruit preserves

Mangonada Margaritas Mangonada Margaritas. Yep, you read that right! All of the flavors of a mangonada blended into a classic frozen margarita. If you aren’t familiar with a mangonada it is a Mexican frozen mango drink made with lime juice, chili lime seasoning, and chamoy sauce. So I incorporated those same ingredients in my margarita! It’s sweet, with a little bit of heat, and some tequila to wake things up a bit. I love chamoy sauce, but if you’ve ever read the label on the back of the bottle

eat for breakfast. If I want to get a more satisfactory amount of nutrients and such, I would have to attempt to implement more fruits. I was thinking that perhaps I could attempt to add in more fruits such as strawberries, apples, oranges, and bananas. Both strawberries and oranges are widely recognized for the amount of Vitamin C they contain. However, both of those fruits also contain sugars, which although are in fact a bit bad in high quantities, are still quite healthy. In addition, apples also

though it is not an "everlasting spring," this Californian spring resembles Ovid’s Golden Age. Just as Ovid’s ages of the world degenerate into baser and baser metals, so Steinbeck’s California degenerates from springtime of bounty to a harvest-time of fruit rotting on the ground. Continuing to contrast Ovid and Steinbeck another difference becomes apparent. In Ovid’s Golden Age the earth is bountiful without the interference of humans. Ovid says, "The earth itself, without compulsion, untouched by

dressing, if desired. Serve immediately. Salad tip: always dress your salad greens at the last minute, then serve immediately. This prevents vegetables and fruits from turning limp and soggy. If you are not sure if the salad will be eaten right away, you can toss the salad at the table, and serve the dressing on the side. Another tip to preserve the crunchiness of leafy greens is to spin-dry (use a salad spinner) the vegetables after rinsing. This quickly removes most of the moisture without damaging

“Should we enroll her in St. Xavier’s or Tiny Tots when she starts school?” You and your partner are already worried about the education of your 3½-year-old. The pressure to enroll your pre-schooler in some sport or activity can be tremendous. Remember that physical play at this age is all about running, jumping, throwing and catching. If you feel the need to enroll her in some structured play, look for a good pre-school or Montessori rather than a playgroup or nursery in a regular school. In India

species will lose much of their available habitat in the next 70 years because of climate change and human development. One species may not survive to the next century. The baobab tree is listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1998. So, to preserve the biodiversity in Madagascar’s savannas, some specific actions have to be carried out. Baobabs are threatened especially by fire, and are at risk right now. Some companies are already working on the monitoring of individual baobab

Seamus Heaney's Blackberry-Picking and Death of a Naturalist Blackberry Picking gives a lucid description of basically, picking blackberries. However it is really about hope and disappointment and how things never quite live up to expectations. ‘Blackberry picking’ becomes a metaphor for other experiences such as the lack of optimism already being realised at an early age and the sense of naivety looked upon from an adult analysing his childhood; “Each year I hoped they’d

Firstly, when talk about postharvest, harvest itself should be considered as a part of the deal. Harvest time or different fruit developing stage may have influence to the postharvest physiological change and reaction to storage conditions of the crops. For instance, eggplant which is harvested when still young have higher antioxidant capacity than late harvested fruit and had higher concentrations of chlorogenic acid, carotenoids and ascorbic acid, but it would be extremely susceptible to dehydration

vitamins. Therefore cooking method has a huge impact in the loss of the vitamin from the broccoli. Boiling can bleach up to 90% of the valuable nutrients from broccoli but another method such as steaming, stir-frying and microwave are more likely to preserve the

Question 1 Light and nutrients are two key factors that are crucial for plant growth and development. The types of light required by plants are wavelengths of light that are invisible to the human eye. This light is needed to induce certain responses critical to plant development and survival. For example, the change in levels of phytochrome red light and phytochrome far red light allow plants to begin flowering, germinate, break dormancy, or senescence. Each plant species has a different photoperiod
