Sok brzozowy, klonowy i inne: prawie wszystko o spuszczaniu soków drzew | Łukasz Łuczaj Wiele razy pisałem o różnych patentach na spuszczanie soków drzew. Dostaję dużo technicznych uwag – w końcu postanowiłem zrobić galerię zdjęć, gdyż jeden obrazek jest wart tysiąca słów. Połączyłem też wszystkie posty o sokach drzewnych w jeden, żeby łatwo było szukać i żeby niczego nie pominąć. W dolnej części artykułu także kilka linków do naukowych opracowań na ten temat. Drzewa już niedługo puszczą soki. Zawsze o tej porze dostaję różne zapytania o spuszczaniu soku z drzew. Kiedy soki startują? Soki zaczynają płynąc w drzewach w górę na przedwiośniu, zwykle gdy dzienna temperatura wynosi ok. 8 C. Czy wszystkie startują równo? Nie zawsze, to zależy od sezonu. Czy soki płyną równo cały dzień? Nie. Czy sok z tego samego gatunku ma zawsze tyle samo cukru? Nie. Które drzewo ma najsłodszy sok? Zdecydowanie klon pospolity, potem klon jawor i klon polny. Czy sok można spuszczać tylko z klonu, brzozy i grabu? Nie, soki puszcza większość drzew. Jak najlepiej spuszczać sok? Wyniki nas zaskoczyły.

Det är ett mycket fint sätt att ta tillvara på smaker och variera sallader och matlagning under säsongen. Ramslök är riktigt läckert att ha som smaksättning. Proportionerna till oljan är inte så viktiga. Prova dig fram till hur du vill ha det! Gör så här: Lägg ramslöksblad och lite salt i en skål och ringla över någon deciliter olja till en början. Om du vill ha en klar olja kan blandningen få dra i några dagar, innan bladen silas bort i ett kaffefilter eller liknande. Oljan förvaras mörkt och svalt och håller sig fin i några månader.

20 Common Wild Plants You Can Eat For Survival Image source: Senatorlaurathielen Plenty of people believe that when things fall apart, they can just go into the wild, living off the land. While such a life has a lot of appeal to it, I’m also enough of a realist to understand how hard that will be. The two biggest problems with trying to live off of what nature provides are too many people and a lack of knowledge. Of course, that gives a distinct advantage to those who know how to hunt and can identify edible plants. Watch Out for Poisonous Plants In addition to edible plants, there are many plants you can find in the wild which are dangerous to eat, even poisonous.

VIDEO: Harvesting A Wild Lunch With A Master Forager : The Salt Biologist and expert forager Nick Spero leads a wild edible walk in Maryland to find plants, flowers and mushrooms to cook for lunch. Maia Stern and Marcie LaCerte/NPR YouTube When most of us are hungry for lunch, we pick up supplies at the grocery store or stop by the nearby cafe with the best lunch specials. Spero is a biologist who's been foraging wild edibles since he was a little kid. Spero presents programs and leads walks on foraging at the Natural History Society of Maryland, teaching others how to identify a wild edible and the health benefits of eating them. "When you pick wild edibles, several considerations need to be carefully thought out: You need to pick responsibly, you need to pick ethically, and plants are living animals, so you just don't want to rip them out of the ground. Spero says you should rely on positive identification when foraging — which basically means studying up and being sure you know what a plant is before picking and consuming it.
