Plums and Prunes!

Hello To, All My Dear Readers, My Followers and My Blogging Friends ❤

Hope you are keeping well as usual. Today I am writing about Plums and Prunes as some of you had asked!

Plums and prunes are impressively high in nutrients. They contain over 15 different vitamins and minerals, in addition to fiber and antioxidants. Prunes are also high in magnesium and vitamin B6. Overall, the vitamin and mineral content of one serving of plums and prunes differs slightly. Prunes contain more vitamin K than plums and are somewhat higher in B vitamins and minerals.

If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can also use your oven at its lowest setting. Be sure to prepare a few baking sheets with parchment paper or a very light coating of quality oil. A solar oven can also be used for making prunes if it is properly vented. Clean the solar oven thoroughly and prepare baking sheets accordingly.

If you have any concern that your prunes may not be completely dry, store your softer batches in the fridge and eat them inside a month. It’s a fine line between still wet and just soft, so do your best to judge and just keep practicing until you get a feel for it. I

I love sugar plums smaller and very tasty excellent for digestion. Don’t have to make prunes unless those like to preserve and into liking cookery as a hobby 🙂

Both fresh and dried plums contain fiber and antioxidants. They may help reduce constipation and benefit your overall health. Plums contain many vitamins and minerals, in addition to fiber and antioxidants that may help reduce your risk of several chronic diseases. You can consume plums fresh or dried. Dried plums, or prunes, are known for improving several health conditions, including constipation.

Plums are a healthy, low-calorie snack. But what happens when your backyard tree produces more fresh plums than your family can consume? One solution is drying plums in the oven or a food dehydrator to make prunes. If you’ve never tried making prunes, don’t fret. Follow the simple instructions below and your family will be enjoying dried plums all winter long. 

Growing Prunes in the Home Garden

Before jumping in and learning how to make prunes, first consider whether or not you have a suitable type of plum for drying. Not all plums make good prunes.

How to Make Prunes

Learning how to dry prunes safely is not difficult. For the best results, start with freshly-harvested, mature plums in good condition (no mold, bruising or decay). Wash and dry the plums gently. 

Small plums can be dried whole, but the resulting prunes will contain pits. In order for whole plums to dehydrate properly, the skins must be cracked by dipping the plums in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Cool the fruit quickly by submerging in ice water, then continue with the following instructions for how to dry prunes:

  • Pre-treat plums to retain color – Soak whole or pitted, halved plums in a pretreatment solution for 3-5 minutes. This solution can be made by mixing equal parts of lemon juice and water. 
  • Arrange the plums on drying trays – Remove the plums from the pre-treatment solution and drain thoroughly. Then place the plums (skin side down to prevent sticking) in a single layer on the drying racks. Leave space around each plum for air to circulate.
  • Select the drying temperature and time – Place the drying racks in the oven or dehydrator and set the thermostat to 140 degrees F. (60 C.) Pitted, halved plums will take 24 to 36 hours to dry in a dehydrator. Expect longer times for whole plums or when drying plums in the oven.
  • Test for doneness – To promote even drying, turn or rotate the fruit every 3 to 4 hours. Properly dried fruit will feel leathery and be pliable. Check for doneness by squeezing a few pieces of cooled fruit in your hand. If they stick together or ooze moisture, continue drying. 
  • Condition – This conditioning process evenly distributes the residual moisture throughout the prunes and prevents spoilage when stored. To condition prunes, place them in a lightly-covered glass or plastic bowl for 4 to 10 days. Stir or shake daily. If droplets of moisture appear inside the container, repeat the drying and conditioning process.

To store prunes, place small portions of dried and conditioned plums into vapor-tight jars, containers or plastic bags. Store them in a cool, dry, dark place and use within 6 to 12 months.

I hope you learnt some goot tips to eat plums and or prunes. If by chance some of you can’t get fresh You can Eat fresh or make juice at home:

Carrot!

Hello to, All My Dear Readers, Followers and My Blogging Friends ❤

Hope All of You are keeping in Good Health as possible. And Positive and Motivated. I have been writing about Various ways of Therapies to Become Well” And also about Your Purpose in Life! and why having one is so good for you. Taking after PURPOSE IN LIFE my students are very keen and interested studying. They want to study PSYCHOLOGY I am flattered and so HAPPY. And posted as unlike simple articles a very Advanced Topic. And now a simple post about the Values of Beet Root for a change and then they want an Article about Carrots 😀

The carrot is a root vegetable, typically orange in colour, though heirloom variants including purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist, all of which are domesticated forms of the wild carrot, native to Europe and Southwestern Asia. The plant probably originated in Iran and was originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. The carrot is a biennial plant . World production of carrots (combined with turnips) for 2022 was 42 million tonnes, led by China producing 44% of the total. The characteristic orange colour is from beta-carotene, making carrots a rich source of vitamin A.

Nutrition and Health Benefits of Carrots: Carrots contain many nutrients, including beta-carotene and antioxidants, that may support your overall health as part of a nutrient-rich diet.

The carrot is a root vegetable often claimed to be the perfect health food. It is crunchy, tasty, and highly nutritious. Carrots are a particularly good source of beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants. Plus, they’re low in calories. They also have several health benefits. They have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health. Carrots are found in many colors, including yellow, white, orange, red, and purple. Orange carrots get their bright color from beta carotene, an antioxidant that your body converts into vitamin A.

Nutrition facts

Carrots contain very little fat and protein. The nutrition facts for two small-to-medium raw carrots, or 100 grams Trusted Source (g), are:

  • Calories: 41
  • Water: 89%
  • Protein: 0.8 g
  • Carbs: 9.0 g
  • Fiber: 2.7 g
  • Fat: 0.1 g

Fiber

Pectin is the main form of soluble fiber in carrots.

Soluble fibers can lower blood sugar levels by slowing down your digestion of sugar and starch. They can also feed the friendly bacteria in your gut, which may lead to improved health and decreased risk of disease. What’s more, certain soluble fibers can impair the absorption of cholesterol from your digestive tract, lowering cholesterol. The main insoluble fibers in carrots are cellulose, Insoluble fibers help digestion.

Other plant compounds

Carrots offer many plant compounds, including carotenoids.

These are substances with powerful antioxidant activity that have been linked to improved immune function and reduced risk of many illnesses, including heart disease, various degenerative ailments, and certain types of cancer.

Beta carotene, the main carotene in carrots, can be converted into vitamin A in your body. However, this conversion process may vary by individual. Eating fat with carrots can help you absorb more of the beta carotene.

The main plant compounds in carrots are:

  • Beta carotene: Orange carrots are very high in beta carotene. The absorption is better if the carrots are cooked.
  • Alpha-carotene: This is an antioxidant that, like beta-carotene, is partly converted into vitamin A in your body.
  • Lutein: One of the most common antioxidants in carrots, lutein is predominantly found in yellow and orange carrots and is important for eye health.
  • Lycopene: This is a bright red antioxidant found in many red fruits and vegetables, including red and purple carrots. Lycopene may decrease your risk of cancer and heart disease. Cooking carrots helps release lycopene and improves absorption.
  • Polyacetylenes: Recent research has identified bioactive compounds in carrots that may help protect against leukemia and other cancers.
  • Anthocyanins: These are powerful antioxidants found in dark-colored carrots.

Vitamins and minerals

Carrots are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, especially biotin, potassium, and vitamins A (from beta carotene), K1 (phylloquinone), and B6.

  • Vitamin A: Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A. This nutrient promotes good vision and is important for growth, development, and immune function.
  • Biotin: A B vitamin formerly known as vitamin H, biotin plays an important role in fat and protein metabolism.
  • Vitamin K1: Also known as phylloquinone, vitamin K1 is important for blood coagulation and can promote bone health.
  • Potassium: An essential mineral, potassium is important for blood pressure management.
  • Vitamin B6: A group of related vitamins, B6 is involved in the conversion of food into energy.

Baby carrots

Baby carrots are an increasingly popular snack food. Two kinds of carrots are called baby carrots whole carrots harvested while still small

  • baby-cut carrots, which are pieces from larger carrots that have been machine-cut into the preferred size, then peeled, polished, and sometimes washed in small amounts of chlorine before packing

There’s very little difference in nutrients between regular and baby carrots, and they should have the same health effects.

Beetroot!

Hello to, All My Dear Readers, Followers and My Blogging Friends ❤

Taking after PURPOSE IN LIFE my students are very keen and interested studying. They want to study PSYCHOLOGY I am flattered and so HAPPY. And posted as unlike simple articles a very Advanced Topic. And now a simple post about the Values of Beet Root for a change 🙂

Beetroot is a highly nutritious root vegetable known for its vibrant color and numerous health benefits, including improved heart health and enhanced exercise performance.

he beetroot (British English) or beet (North American English) is the taproot portion of a Beta plant in the The plant is a root vegetable also known as the table beetgarden beetdinner beet, or else categorized by color: red beet or golden beet. It is also a leaf vegetable called beet greens. Beetroot can be eaten raw, roasted, steamed, or boiled. Beetroot can also be canned, either whole or cut up, and often are pickled, spiced, or served in a sweet-and-sour sauce. Root vegetables are underground plant parts eaten by humans or animals as food. In agricultural and culinary terminology, the term applies to true roots, such as taproots and root tubers, as well as non-roots such as bulbscormsrhizomes, and stem tubers.

How to Prepare Beet Juice and Beet Powder To prepare beet juice, you may juice beets yourself. If you want to juice beets yourself, wash the beets, cut them into chunks, then put them through a juicer. Beets do not need to be cooked before juicing. People often juice ginger or lemon with beets to improve the flavor. 

Nutritional Benefits

Usually, the deep purple roots of beetroot are eaten boiled, roasted, or raw, and either alone or combined with any salad vegetable. The green, leafy portion of the beetroot is also edible. The young leaves can be added raw to salads, while the mature leaves are most commonly served boiled or steamed, in which case they have a taste and texture similar to spinach. Beetroot can be roasted, boiled or steamed, peeled, and then eaten warm with or without butter; cooked, pickled, and then eaten cold as a condiment; or peeled, shredded raw, and then eaten as a salad. Pickled beetroot is a traditional food in many countries.

View all Prepare

Prepare fresh beetroot by scrubbing the outside (rather than peeling it). Trim any foliage, but do not cut into the beet itself as when it cooks. Don’t trim the beard at the base of the plant and leave at least 2cm length of stem on the vegetable.
Boil your beets

To boil beetroot, add whole beets to boiling water and cook for about 45 minutes, depending on their size. A skewer should slide through the thickest part easily to indicate it is cooked. Cool for 10 minutes, then peel with a vegetable peeler or, simply split and squeeze the skin with hands, the skin should slip off easily.

Try it roasted

To roast whole beetroot, wrap in foil and roast on the cooker for about 45 minutes, depending on how large they are. Or chop coarsely, toss in olive oil and fresh thyme leaves and roast for about 30 minutes or until tender. To roast whole beetroot, wrap in foil and roast at 180°C (160°C fan-forced) for about 45 minutes, depending on how large they are. Or chop coarsely, toss in olive oil and fresh thyme leaves and roast at 200°C (180°C fan-forced) for about 30 minutes or until tender.

Try it on this roasted beetroot and feta pizza for a slightly fancy mid-week meal.

Tender boiled beetroot goes beautifully in this warm beetroot and macadamia salad recipe.

Beetroots come in a variety of colors, including deep red, golden yellow, white, and striped varieties, each offering unique flavors and culinary uses. see down below :)Beetroots come in a variety of colors, including deep red, golden yellow, white, and striped varieties, each offering unique flavors and culinary uses.

Common Colors of Beetroot

Pink Beets: Some varieties exhibit a pink color, which can add a playful touch to dishes. They are similar in taste to red beets but offer a different visual presentation

Red Beets: The most recognized color, red beets are known for their deep maroon to fuchsia hue. They have a robust, earthy flavor and are commonly used in salads, soups, and as a natural food coloring agent. 2

Golden Beets: These beets have a bright yellow color and a milder, sweeter flavor compared to red beets. They are often used in salads and can be roasted or steamed. 2

White Beets: White beets are less common but have a subtle flavor. They can be used similarly to red beets in various dishes, providing a unique visual appeal without altering the color of the dish significantly. 2

Striped Beets (Chioggia Beets): Known for their distinctive pink and white concentric rings, striped beets have a sweet flavor and are often used raw in salads for their striking appearance. 2

How to Prepare Beet Juice and Beet Powder

To prepare beet juice, you may either juice beets yourself or buy beet juice from many grocery and health food stores. Beet juice ranges from bright magenta to deep crimson in color. The colorful drink is made from beets, which have the scientific name Beta vulgaris. Because beets come from the root portion of the plant, beet juice is also sometimes called beetroot juice.

Beet powder, also called beetroot powder, is a similarly bright pink or red product made from dried, ground beets. Beet powder is often advertised as a superfood and sold by natural food retailers. Beet powder can be mixed with water to create a juice. It can also be added to smoothies, sauces, or baked goods. Beet powder is growing in popularity as a natural health-boosting supplement.

People are drawn to beet juice and powder for nutritional reasons, and many people also enjoy the taste. Beets generally have an earthy, bitter flavor. Many people enjoy the flavor of beet juice on its own while some prefer to mix beet juice or beet powder with sweet or fresh flavors.

Beet powder might be a little harder to find than beet juice. Most natural foods stores carry beet powder or you may be able to order it online from natural supplement retailers. 

Beet powder and beet juice can be enjoyed in a variety of ways.

  • Mix beet juice with vinegar and sugar to make a colorful pickling solution for quick pickles
  • Blend beet powder or beet juice into smoothies.
  • Mix beet powder into sauces for extra flavor.
  • Sprinkle beet powder over oatmeal or yogurt. 

Saute the leaves (fried quickly in a little hot fat)

Beetroot leaves are edible. Many chefs include beetroot leaf recipes in their cookbooks and most recommend eating the more tender young leaves, as the older leaves taste bitter. They can be served raw in salads dressed with balsamic vinegar; partially cooked by being tossed with just-drained hot pasta; or braised with butter or olive oil in a covered frying pan. If you intend to eat the leaves, separate them from the bulbs and store them, wrapped, in the refrigerator for no more than two or three days.

Microwave it

To microwave, peel and chop beetroot and microwave according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 20-30 minutes).

Health Benefits

In addition to vitamins and minerals, beet juice and powder also contain nitrates. Nitrates are a naturally-occurring substance found in beets and many other vegetables. Dietary nitrate helps improve vascular function, or healthy blood flow. Some of the many health benefits of beet juice and beet powder include: Nutrition

Beet juice is a source of calciumiron, and potassium. All three minerals are important to keep your body healthy and in good shape.  Beet powder also contains the essential minerals ironpotassium, and magnesium.

Whether you prefer the classic red or want to experiment with golden or striped varieties, beetroots can add both nutrition and visual appeal to your meals.

Flavor Profiles: The flavor of beetroots can vary significantly with their color. Red beets tend to have a stronger, earthier taste, while golden beets are sweeter and milder. Striped beets offer a unique sweetness that can enhance salads and other dishes. 2

Nutritional Benefits: Regardless of color, beetroots are rich in nutrients, including folate, manganese, potassium, and antioxidants, making them a healthy addition to any diet.

Ayurveda ~ Values of Cashew!

Hello to, All My Dear Readers, Followers and My Blogging Friends ❤

Hope all of you are keeping well. It’s very very cold but I am continuing to write, being on Ayurveda I thought of Enlightening on Values of Food for being in Good Health. As so many are not aware of the Values of Fruits and Vegetables and most importantly Herbs. Although this is a very popular nut where almost all like to eat, even me 🙂 very few know how they grow!

Cashew is the common name of a tropical evergreen tree. It is native to South America and is the source of the cashew nut and the cashew apple, an accessory fruit. The tree can grow as tall as 14 meters (46 feet), but the dwarf cultivars, growing up to 6 m (20 ft), prove more profitable, with earlier maturity and greater yields. The cashew nut is edible and is eaten on its own as a snack, used in recipes, or processed into cashew cheese or cashew butter. The nut is often simply called a ‘cashew’. The cashew apple is a light reddish to yellow fruit, whose pulp and juice can be processed into a sweet, fruit drink. In 2023, 3.9 million tons of cashew nuts were harvested globally, led by the Ivory Coast and India. In addition to the nut and fruit, the shell yields derivatives used in lubricants, waterproofing, and paints.

The English name derives from the Portuguese name for the fruit of the cashew tree: Caju (Portuguese pronunciation: also known as acaju, which itself is from the Tupi word acajú, literally meaning “nut that produces itself”. The generic name Anacardium is composed of the Greek prefix ana- (ἀνά-aná, ‘up, upward’) It possibly refers to the heart shape of the fruit, to “the top of the fruit stem”. The plant has diverse common names in various languages among its wide distribution range,including anacardier (French) with the fruit referred to as pomme de cajoucaju (Portuguese pronunciation: [kaˈʒu]), or acaju (Portuguese).

The true fruit of the cashew tree is a kidney-shaped or boxing glove-shaped drupe that grows at the end of the cashew apple. The drupe first develops on the tree and then the pedicel expands to become the cashew apple. The drupe becomes the true fruit, a single shell-encased seed, which is often considered a nut in the culinary sense.

The cashew tree is large and evergreen, growing to 14 metres (46 feet) tall, with a short, often irregularly shaped trunk. The leaves are spirally arranged, leathery textured, the flowers are produced in a panicle or corymb long; each flower is small, pale green at first, then turning reddish, with five slender, acute petals The largest cashew tree in the world and is located in NatalBrazil. The fruit of the cashew tree is an accessory fruit What appears to be the fruit is an oval or pear-shaped structure, that develops from the pedicel and the receptacle of the cashew flower. Called the cashew apple, better known in Central America as marañón, it ripens into a yellow or red.

Roasted Cashew

Cashew nuts are processed through several key steps:

  1. Cleaning: The raw cashew nuts are cleaned to remove impurities.
  2. Heating: The nuts are heated to facilitate shelling.
  3. Shelling: The shells are removed either by hand or using machines.
  4. Drying: The shelled nuts are dried to reduce moisture content.
  5. Peeling: The thin skin around the nuts is peeled off.
  6. Grading: The nuts are sorted based on size and quality.
  7. Packaging: Finally, the processed cashew nuts are packaged for sale. 

When It’s Best

Cashews are harvested about two months after the fruit (the apple) has set. The nut forms below the apple. This usually happens in the winter. But cashews are available all year long in most stores.

Storage and Food Safety

The best way to store nuts is to keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for about three months. If you keep them in the refrigerator, you can prolong their lifespan to up to six months, and if you freeze them, you can use them for about one year.

How to Prepare

Cashews can be eaten raw or roasted. Many people describe them as having a creamy, sweet texture that pairs well with savory and salty foods. Sprinkle roasted or raw nuts on a salad for a boost of protein or add them to the top of a small serving of ice cream. Chop them up and use them as a coating for fish or even add them to oatmeal in the morning.

Promotes Better Heart Health

Cashews, like all nuts, are a high-fat food, but they provide both poly- and monounsaturated fats—a healthy form of fat that helps boost heart health and reduce cholesterol levels when consumed in moderation.2 Cashews also provide diet-friendly fiber, which is associated with a heart-healthy diet. Studies also show that plant-based diets that include healthy fats and protein from nuts and seeds (rather than meat products) can boost heart health.
