Food and Permaculture by David Blume
Food and Permaculture by David Blume I wrote this in response to post to the bioregional listserve from a woman at ATTRA who said something like "Of course you couldn't feed the world with such a hippy-dippy, hunter-gatherer, landscape system like permaculture." Well that got me a little steamed so this is what I wrote. Dear Folks, I would like to inject some real world experience into this otherwise abstract discussion of food and permaculture. In addition to being an ecological biologist, a permaculture production food farmer for 9 years, and an expert on biomass fuels, I have also been teaching permaculture since 1997 and have worked in many countries on food/energy production design issues. So in light of my experience I have a couple of things to say. As far as I know I was one of the only farmers fully utilizing permaculture to produce surplus food for sale in the US as a full time occupation. The math is easy. Can't do this on a commercial scale?
Ta vara på tomaterna 3 | ekoplantan
Så här mitt i vintern är jag glad för mitt tomatförråd. Det förgyller våra måltider på många sätt. Jag har tidigare skrivit om olika sätt att ta vara på tomater och idag handlar det om konservering, eller hermetisk inkokning som det också heter, och lite mer om att torka tomater. Ett gott tillbehör Bilden visar en tallrik körsbärstomater, både gula, orange, gröna, röda och bruna, inlagda i vitlök, färska örter och olivolja. Förutom dessa körsbärstomater som är ”ätklara” direkt ur burken behövs en hel del tomatsås och tomatpuré för att klara vinterns tomatbehov. Något jag lärt mig förra året är att konservera hela, flådda tomater. Konservering av tomater Det gick både snabbt och enkelt att flå och stoppa ner i burkarna och smaken, den är i en helt annan klass än hela konserverade tomater på plåtburk! Tomatkonserver Varje höst, när squashskörden är så stor att vi inte hinner äta upp allt och paprikorna mognar i massor, kokar jag ratatouille (burken till höger på bilden).
Foods You Can Grow From Kitchen Scraps | Reclaim, Grow, Sustain
These plants can be propagated as many times as you wish and all you need to get started is some left over kitchen scraps. You can start most of them with conventional, commercially grown plants. But sometimes commercial plants have been treated in ways to hinder replanting, so it's a good idea for your original piece to be organic. Fennel, Green Onions & LeeksThe same method is used for these 3. OnionsUse the root end of an onion with 1-2 inches of onion "meat" still attached. Cabbage, Celery, Bok Choy, Romaine Lettuce, Other LettucesPlace the root end in a shallow bowl of the water with the top part just above the water line. GarlicPlant a single clove in soil. GingerSimply place a chunk of ginger root in soil with the newest buds facing up and it will start to grow anew. PotatoesYou can regrow from any old potato that has grown large 'eyes'. PineappleRemove all the fruit "meat" from the crown of a pineapple.
Jak stosować siemię lniane | Akademia Witalności
Siemię lniane to super food czyli „superpożywienie” i co do tego nie ma żadnych wątpliwości. A do tego kosztuje dosłownie grosze! Każdy kto się dowie o właściwościach siemienia lnianego takich jak niebywale wysoka zawartość Omega-3, zdrowego błonnika i wielu minerałów i witamin (w tym witaminy młodości czy wit. E), to zazwyczaj prędzej czy później idzie do sklepu i kupuje torebkę tych cudownych ziarenek. Jednak po przyniesieniu ich do domu mamy dylemat: jak to stosować? Siemię lniane jest oleiste – z nasion wyciska się olej lniany. Olej na zimno wyciskany z nasion jest bardzo cenny: należy przechowywać go w lodówce, ma on bardzo krótki termin ważności (kilka tygodni), wolno spożywać go jedynie na zimno (nie nadaje się do smażenia). Jakie siemię kupić – całe czy mielone? Związki zawarte w siemieniu łatwo się utleniają, toteż nie warto kupować siemienia mielonego fabrycznie, najlepiej kupować siemię w całych ziarenkach i na bieżąco mielić tuż przed spożyciem w zwykłym młynku do kawy. 1.
The Amazing Benefits of Himalayan Pink Salt
Have you heard about the amazing Himalayan crystal salt that comes directly from the Himalayan Mountains? It is packed with some pretty amazing benefits and is an amazing new staple to add to your pantry. It is an absolutely wonderful alternative to table salt, and soon I’ll explain why. The History First of all, what makes Himalayan crystal salt so amazing? About 200 million years ago, there were crystallized sea salt beds that were covered with lava. Minerals & Energy Himalayan Salt contains the same 84 trace minerals and elements that are found in the human body, that alone is quite impressive! What Exactly Are The Benefits? Some of the benefits that you can expect by consuming this salt in place of regular table salt include: Comparing Himalayan Salt To Other Salts Sea Salt Table Salt Regular, commercial table salt is completely stripped of the majority of its minerals with the exception of sodium and chloride.
