Emerald - Heirloom, Untreated, Open Pollinated, Vegetable Seeds - Sustainable Seed Company Emerald Okra (56 days) Introduced by Campbell's Soup If I remember correctly this was a Cajun cook's dream. My granny hailed from the great state of Louisiana and many a time I remember smelling fried okra wafting from the kitchen during a fish fry. You can easily fill a gumbo pot with the abundant pods from Emerald okra. Granny always picked 3-4" okra to cut up, be dipped in corn meal and fried to perfection in the cast iron skillet I now have. You guessed it! Recommended by the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. The Texas Cooperative Extension at Texas A&M recommends this variety for Texas! For those of you in the South where I come from you will have no problem growing okra, but if like me you now find yourself in an area with cool summers like the Pacific Northwest growing okra can be a tricky business.

Gardens: the new yuzu | James Wong Walk into any garden centre and you’ll find rows of little lemon, orange and lime trees lined up for sale. But the best citrus of all is trickier to track down, and I can’t understand why. The yuzu is an uber-fragrant citrus from Japan. Its fruity zest and bracingly tart juice is a result of its mixed parentage – a natural cross between a mandarin orange and the wild Ichang lemon. With the fruit’s newfound popularity among western celebrity chefs for its floral aroma, tiny bottles of yuzu juice now sell for nearly a fiver in UK supermarkets. Fresh yuzu are also far harder to find than other citrus fruits. They are also easy to grow. If you fancy the outdoor gamble, plant your yuzu against a sunny south-facing wall in early summer, ideally in well-drained soil that is on the acidic side. So: rarer and more interestingly flavoured fruits that are easy to grow.

Three recipes to make the most of the season’s new potatoes | Jessica Seaton | Life and style Sometimes it feels like we have forgotten the simple joy of a potato. There are now so many alternatives – rice, pasta, quinoa, freekeh, the list is long – that I wonder if we cold-climate dwellers are falling a little out of touch with potatoes, not just a trusted culinary stalwart in the British kitchen, but an unsung hero. Alternatives there may be, but, to me, potatoes can never really be replaced. Potatoes are a faithful friend in my kitchen. The other day I travelled from the west coast of Canada, where it was still remorselessly winter, to arrive back in London, where spring has definitely arrived. Potatoes are useful as a ground-clearing advance brigade. Already in England’s southwest and the Channel Islands, the soil is bearing spring’s first new potatoes – Jersey royals and Cornish – which are now arriving on shop shelves. But potatoes are not just for spring. For me, potato love came early and is probably mixed with brother-love. Pressed parsley potatoes Curate’s pudding

Feijoa sellowiana Species of plant in the myrtle family Feijoa sellowiana[1][2] is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. It is native to the highlands of southern Brazil, eastern Paraguay, Uruguay, northern Argentina, and Colombia.[3] It is widely cultivated as an ornamental tree and for its fruit. Etymology[edit] Feijoa sellowiana Berg is from the genus which the German botanist, Ernst Berger, named after João da Silva Feijó, a Portuguese naturalist, and the specific name honors Friedrich Sellow, a German who first collected specimens of feijoa in southern Brazil.[7] It has been nicknamed "pineapple guava", "Brazilian guava", "fig guava" or "guavasteen" among different countries.[7] Fruit[edit] The fruit pulp resembles the closely related guava, having a gritty texture. Growing conditions[edit] The plant is a warm-temperate, subtropical plant that also will grow in the tropics, but requires at least 50 hours of winter chilling to fruit, and is frost-tolerant. Cultivation[edit]

Frontiers | Nitrogen-to-Protein Conversion Factors for Edible Insects on the Swiss Market: T. molitor, A. domesticus, and L. migratoria | Nutrition Introduction The worldwide demand for animal protein increased over the past years and is presumed to continue to increase by over 50% until 2050, mainly driven by the population growth and increasing wealth. However, the land requirements for animal forage crop production will exceed the available areas on the globe in the future. Hence, alternative protein sources are needed to meet the predicted demand. The high protein content with the presence of all essential amino acids (AA) and the ease of rearing make insects a promising option for meat protein replacement (1–3). While insects are already consumed in many parts of the world, a new food law was only recently introduced to Switzerland in May 2017 which allows three insect species, namely Tenebrio molitor (yellow mealworms), Acheta domesticus (crickets), and Locusta migratoria (locusts), to be bred and sold as food products without requiring a permission (4).
