Hello I am Ghada Musleh from Gaza (Palestine). I am a university graduate working with young children and women. My husband, Muhannad is a sales representative. My daughter, Gram is 10 months old.
My mother, Fayza suffers from an enlarged spleen and liver is also with us. My mother’s health is declining and she needs to travel for her medical treatment.
I was displaced from the beginning of the war. I remember my displacement from the 10th of October in the ugly schools of the agency, where the bombing intensified around me. I bled out of fear for my infant daughter, who is not experiencing her childhood, and for the tenderness of her father. The displaced were killed in front of my eyes in the schools. A woman in front of me was targeted by gunfire. My family and I were displaced more than ten times from school to school. I saw death with my own eyes. My little family and many civilians were targeted in front of us. I cannot lose sight of these nights when the occupation forces called my husband and threatened my house. Unfortunately, my house was bombed and our memories were bombed. We have nothing left.
I am desperate and urgently need to save my family by leaving Gaza. There is no safe place in Gaza due to death, hunger, dehydration, disease, displacement, and bombings.
HOW WILL THE FUNDS BE USE?
The cost of evacuation is €5000 per person, amounting to €20,000 for the whole family.
€2000 for visa and passport applications and fees to expedite the evacuation process.
€5000 for two months of expenses in Egypt to pay for food, rent, necessities, and medical care until we can get back on our feet and rebuild our lives.
Unfortunately, evacuations have stopped while the Rafah border is closed. We do not know how long this will be. Daily expenses for necessities such as food and water are increasingly high.
Examples of daily essentials:
Flour €30
Diapers €40
Vegetables for a day €40
An amount will go to GoFundMe fees (2.9% + $0.30 per donation), bank transfers, and the high commissions (15-20%) to receive the money due to shortages of cash here in Gaza.
I ask you to support me. To help me and my family escape from Gaza to save them from the ongoing genocide. Every donation, no matter how small will help save my family. Please consider sharing my campaign widely with your friends and family. I will be forever grateful for your help.
Here is the link to https://www.instagram.com/gharam202336/?hl=eng
With eternal gratitude,
Ghada, Muhannad, Gram and Fayza
Funds raised will be transferred to Ghada to cover necessities while in Gaza and to evacuate the family.

How Did People Wash Themselves Before Modern Products & Conveniences?
Throughout history, bathing was simply done in any place where there was water (a river, lake, water hole, pool or the sea, or any other water receptacle), ranging from warm to cold. It was mostly done in the summer (or naturally warm locations) where a quick dip would be refreshing to do. People didn’t bathe much during those times, unless it was for personal preference, religious ritual or therapeutic purposes.
It also depended on their location and status, because water might not have been easy to come by. A hot bath (and soap) was an luxury that the wealthy had access to and could take it more often than peasants. But even then, the notion that bathing was hygienic didn’t really catch on for everyone until the late 18th and 19th centuries.
In Ancient Egypt, the Egyptians were fixated on cleanliness and regularly used cosmetics, deodorants, perfumes, toothpaste, and breath mints. Men and woman would shaved and plucked off all of their body hair using tweezers, knives and razors, made of flint or metal. Not only was this for the ideal of beauty at the time, but it also rid the Egyptians of body lice.
To clean themselves while bathing, the Egyptians used natron – a mixture of soda ash (sodium carbonate), a derivative of table salt and oils derived from vegetables and animals to make a soap-like substance. Soda ash is naturally occurring and could be found in the form of deposits on the crusted shoreline flats, or via seawater evaporation in certain locations (such as the four lakes in the Nile Delta).
The wealthy had bathing chambers (which was usually a small recessed room with a square slab of limestone in the corner) in their homes. They would stand or sit on the stone while their servants would cart in water to be poured over their master’s head. Sometimes the water was cold, but most palaces were equipped with stoves to heat it up. Everyone else would bathed in the Nile. However, there is evidence from excavating that there were large public bath houses with showers, stone basins and stoves to heat the water.
The Egyptians morning ritual, after one rose from bed, would be to bathe. Every household, no matter the class, had some form of a basin and jug used for washing the hands and showering. There were also foot baths, made of stone, faience, ceramic, or wood, for washing the feet. These were mass-produced during the First Intermediate Period of Egypt (2181-2040 BCE) as single-foot and double-foot baths.
One would wash their hands, face, and feet before and after meals, before bed, and upon rising in the morning. Priests were expected to bathe more regularly, but the average Egyptian took showers and baths on a daily basis. In the morning, after one had washed, came the application of a cream, the ancient equivalent of sunblock, to the body, and then one would apply make-up, derived from ochre and sometimes mixed with sandalwood, to the face. [1]
In Ancient India, they used elaborate practices for personal hygiene with three daily baths and washing. These are recorded in the works called grihya sutras and are in practice today in some communities. Instead of soap Indian women found it more beneficial to use gram flour or wheat husk, mixed with milk, to clean their skin. They realized that soap stripped away the natural oils in the skin, causing it to dehydrate and accelerate the aging process. The tradition of bathing in milk and fresh herbs (especially flower baths) was started by the royal queens and princesses during that time.
In the north of India, half a cup of ground-up mustard seeds was added to bath water in the winter months for a warm dip that balances kapha dosha, which can become aggravated in the late winter and early spring.
In Ancient Greece, the original form of bathing consisted of nothing more than a quick plunge into icy water until the people of Laconica came upon the idea of a hot-air bath. The hot-air bath later came to be known as a laconica bath. The water for the laconica baths was heated one of two different ways. The first being by direct coal burning fires and the other being the hot rock method, which consists of heating up rocks in another room and bringing them inside the bath.
They even invented a form of shower, when they realized that they got cleaner after using waterfalls to bathe under. The water was pumped into the bath houses through the aqueduct system and then pushed out through a series of pipes. Some of the pipes were installed higher up, and people would stand under the falling water as they bathed. Most Greeks also washed in a bowl on a pedestal called a louterion. Although wealthy people had their own baths at home (in which they would have their slaves heat and pour water over them), they still preferred to visit the public ones. Afterwards, they would also rubbed themselves with olive oil or perfumed oil (to soften the skin) then scrape it off with a tool called a strigil.
In Ancient Rome, they also knew that dirt encourages disease and they appreciated the importance of cleanliness. They took Greek plumbing one step further by building massive aqueducts to bring clean water into towns and set up extravagant public baths. The people went to the baths not just to get clean but to also socialize. However, there was a fee to get into the public baths. The fee was generally pretty small so even the poor could afford to go. It was one-quarter as for men, one full as for women, and children got in for free — an as (plural assēs) was worth one-tenth (after 200 CE 1/16th) of a denarius, the standard currency in Rome. Sometimes the baths would be free for all if a politician or emperor paid for the public to attend.
Wealthy people sometimes had their own private baths inside their homes. These could be quite expensive as they had to pay the government for the amount of water that they used. Even if a wealthy person had their own bath, they were still likely to visit the public baths in order to be social and meet with people. When they do they would bring their own slaves to attend to their bathing needs.
The Roman Baths were very large and consisted of four rooms: a Apodyterium or changing room (where visitors would take off their clothing before entering the main area of the baths), Tepidarium or warm room (which was often the main central hall in the bath where the bathers met and talked), Caldarium or hot and steamy room (the floors were heated by a Roman system called a hypocaust that circulated hot air under the floors), and lastly Frigidarium or cold room (in which bathers would go to cool down at the end of a hot day).
The layout of Roman baths contained other architectural features of note. Because wealthy Romans brought slaves with them, the bathhouse usually had three entrances: one for men, one for women, and one for slaves. The preference of symmetry in Roman architecture usually meant a symmetrical facade, even though the women's area was usually smaller than the men's because of fewer numbers of patrons. Usually solid walls or placement on opposite sides of the building separated the men's and women's sections. Which by the way, men and women bathed at different times or in different areas of the baths depending on the bathhouse.
Roman bathhouses often contained a courtyard, or Palaestra, which was an open-air garden or gymnasium used for exercise. In some cases the builders made the palaestra an interior courtyard, and in other cases the builders placed the palaestra in front of the bathhouse proper and incorporated it into the formal approach. Sometimes the palestra held a swimming pool. Most often a colonnade outlined the palaestra's edges.
When the Romans were done taking a bath, they would rub a scented oil on their skin to finish the job. Unlike soap, which forms a lather with water and can be rinsed off, the oil had to be scraped off with a metal tool called a strigil. Romans were also materially interested in being considered non-hairy and would used razors, pumice stone, tweezers and some type of depilatory creams to remove unwanted body hair.
While the baths were enjoyed by almost every Roman, there were those who criticized them. The water was not renewed often and the remains of oil, dirt or even excrement were kept warm, providing the perfect conditions for bacteria to thrive. And after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD, upkeep of large communal baths ended.
During the Medieval period, many of these communal baths disappeared while others became social centers and, to the chagrin of the Catholic Church, even brothels. However, the bathing tradition persisted in Japan and elsewhere in the world.
To be more specific, in the early Middle Ages public bathhouses also were common, but they weren’t nearly as luxurious as the Roman baths. The people bathe for cleanliness and health, but Christian authorities condemned attendance to public bath houses for pleasure and condemned women going to bath houses that had mixed facilities.
In general, those who lived during this time were primarily focused on cleaning only their hands, face and neck daily in a small water basin with a rag (and soft soap if they could afford it, which was made of mutton fat, wood ash, and natural soda), rather than taking a full-on bath. After all, it was frown upon to wash anything but visible dirt from the face or hands. That’s because being dirty was associated with being poor.
They also ate with their fingers and would wash their hands before and after meals (or at least the wealthy would do so). Bathing was largely limited to the summer months, when a refreshing dip in a pond or stream would do the trick after a hot day in the fields. People who could afford to bathe their whole bodies did so once a week.
The wealthy (especially medieval royalty and nobles) bathed more than most and would bathe at home, most likely in their bedroom, as 'bath' rooms were not common. They had a wooden tub with a linen cloth laid in it to protect the bather from splinters and sometimes with a curtain around it, or a tent-like cloth over top. These tubs would take a while to fill because water had to be gathered, heated and then carried in pitchers by servants. They would also add in sweet scented flowers or petals and fresh herbs to it.
The prominence of the public bathhouse went into rapid decline when diseases struck Europe. People were convince that water, especially warm water wasn’t safe to bathe in. According to one medical treaty of the 16th century, they believed that it weaken the skin by opening the pores to outside influences such as illnesses and diseases. It also didn’t help that they thought spreading dirt all over their skin would protect them from the Bubonic Plague. This, of course, wasn’t the case.
In modern day films, the Vikings are usually portrayed as filthy, wild animals. However, close examination of excavation of Viking burial mounds proves that to be incorrect. Though, it’s important to remember that most of our accounts of the Vikings come from Christian writers who didn’t view them in a positive light.
The Vikings made a very strong soap with a high lye content which was used not only for bathing, but also for bleaching their hair. In some regions, beards were lightened as well. It not only helped with head lice, but blond hair was highly valued in the Viking World. They also had razors, tweezers, combs and ear spoons made from bronze, silver, animal bones or antlers.
Everyday (usually in the morning upon rising) the Vikings would wash their hands, face and their hair in a large basin containing water. They would pass on the basin for the next person to use (with fresh water) while the previous person would groom their hair. The original meaning of Scandinavian words for Saturday (laurdag / lørdag / lördag) was ‘Washing Day’. That’s because on Saturday they would always bathe and for the rest of the time they would change their clothes frequently. This was at a time when an Anglo-Saxon might only bath once or twice a year. For this reason Vikings were considered ‘clean freaks’.
In the summer, bathing could be preformed in lakes or streams, or within the bathhouses found on every large farm (these would be much like the Finnish sauna, though tub bathing was also used), while in winter the heated bathhouse would be the primary location for bathing.
In Ancient China, the people practiced personal cleanliness to a remarkable degree. According to the Liji (book of rites), officials were expected to wash their hands five times a day, with a hot bath every fifth day and wash their hair every third day. Feudal lords had to bathe before presenting themselves to their emperor. In ancient Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China the locals bathe at home by filling up a kettle with clean water from wells, heating it up, and pouring it into a washbowl. In the Qin empire (221–206 B.C.), people reused water from washing rice to wash their faces and hair. With the coming of Buddhism, bathhouses arrived in China, not just for the upper classes but for common folks as well.
In Ancient Japan, the Japanese likely bathed in the many springs in the open. Even in the Nara and Heian periods (710-1192) the custom of bathing was not widespread among the people, especially the nobility of that time. In the summertime, the aristocrats might sprinkle water on themselves or wipe with wet towels. The commoners on the other hand would regularly take plunges in the ocean or in rivers to cool off and possibly wash up. In the winter, there was no custom of immersing one's self in water.
A steam bath was sometimes done as a treatment for an illness, but mostly their skin was dirty and smelly. This situation gave rise to nobility covering their body odor with mixed perfumes called takimono, but no matter which scents they used it didn’t do much to mask the smell. Moreover, whenever they caught colds, they would chew on raw garlic, increasing the odor level even more.
It wasn’t until Edo period (1603-1868) that bathing became widely popular amongst common people who relished the free baths at Buddhist temples, leading to the development of sentō (public bathhouse). Baths in this period were predominantly focused on steaming waters, with the bather often only soaking the lower part of their legs in water or enjoying other partial bathing. Only the most elite noblemen or warriors were able to enjoy the luxury of a bath in their own homes.
But this period also brought suefuro, the first bath in which bathers could submerge up to the shoulders. These baths were mainly pots heated by firewood, and include some memorable designs such as the goemon-buro (cauldron bath) and the teppo-buro (piped bath). Mixed bathing with men and women sharing the same bath was commonplace in Edo period bathhouses and considered completely natural at the time.
These early communal bathhouses were generally housed in dark, almost windowless rooms with low entrance ways to prevent steam from escaping. For this reason customers often cleared their throats to signal their position to others when they were in the bath area. However, before that customers would pay an entrance fee (which depend on the area and the person). They would remove their shoes and go to the changing room. Before they could jump into the actual bath, they would first cleanse their body with water and soap. They needed to get rid of the dirt and bacteria on themselves so that it wouldn’t contaminate the communal bathwater. Once they were cleaned, they could go into the baths to soak and relax or socialized.
During the Meiji era’s (1868-1912) push to industrialize and modernize, the prudishness of 19th century Westerners led the government to ban mixed bathing to make Japan seem more civilized. Many of the sentō after that were built with separate changing and bathing rooms for men and women. However, older bathhouses avoided this problem by having men and women bathe at different times of day, or by catering to one gender exclusively. After WWII, it was still relatively common for people to not have baths in their homes and attend sentō at the end of their day.
Prior to the Victorian era, a bath once or twice a year was thought to be adequate. More frequent bathing was considered somehow unmanly and even hazardous to health. In the early Victorian era, bathroom sinks were sometimes situated in a corner of the bedroom which served as a washing station. It wasn’t until late in the era that they relegated bathrooms to a separate room in the house. However, bathrooms were found mostly in the homes of the upper-class. This was because the plumbing and fixtures required for constructing an indoor bathroom were extremely expensive.
The main inconvenience in early Victorian baths was the need to get water from the pump piped in the kitchen (or if they were lower-class they needed to get it from the water pump outside), heat it on the stove (or fireplace) within a large cast-iron kettle and carry it to the bathtub. The wealthy would have their servants do this for them. But this was why people traditionally bathed in only an inch or two of water. Moreover, whole families typically used the same bathwater, as large quantities of water were not available at a time. Popular tubs during this time period were roll-top tubs, slipper baths and boat baths.
Poorer families, if they owned a bath at all, put the tub in front of the kitchen rang. This was the warmest place in the house and very close to hot water. The whole family would wash themselves one after the other, topping up with more water but, probably not emptying the bath until everyone had finished.
But typically, once or twice a month Victorians would indulge in a lukewarm soak. During the weeks between baths, they would regularly wash their arms, hands and faces with a sponge soaked in cool water and vinegar. Sitz baths, in which a person sat down in a shallow dish of water, were also common. They would also wash their hair once or twice a week. Victorian women were usually advised to dilute pure ammonia in warm water and then massage it through the scalp and hair, like modern shampoo.
If she didn’t want to use ammonia as it could be very unpleasant, onion juice was another option. It didn’t necessarily work to cleanse the hair of grease, but it was believed, at least by some, to make tresses long and shiny.
In London, England, in 1868, a painter named Benjamin Waddy Maughan patented the first residential water heater. It was named the geyser after an Icelandic gushing hot spring. It used natural gas as the heat source, but lacked proper ventilation, so it wasn’t exactly safe.
Twenty or so years later, though, a Norwegian mechanical engineer named Edwin Ruud tweaked the concept by adding some much-needed safety features—namely, a vent. Still, only 24 percent of American homes had running water by the 1890s, so if they wanted to take a warm shower and didn’t have plumbing, they still had to heat up the water on the stove. Once the tub was filled, the father would be the first to bathe, the mother followed, and then the children bathed according to the age; from the eldest to the youngest.
However, before that in North America, around 1600s the Indians in Virginia practiced personal hygiene that included daily baths in all seasons and all weather. They also engaged in occasional sweat baths in sweat lodges, which were presided over by a priest since those using it were likely to faint from the heat. Despite a lack of soap, the Powhatan Indians washed their hands before eating, according to Jamestown colonists and other European observers. They were far more sanitary than the Europeans who arrived in 1607.
In America's colonial days, the best places to settle in were areas near a water source, such as rivers, streams, or springs, but these desirable places were usually taken pretty quickly. After all, water is a primary need for both sustaining crops, animals and the lives of the people. When that wasn’t available they would dig wells, which was usually located in close proximity to the home.
If well-digging failed to reach water, families were forced to collect rainwater in barrels, cisterns, and pans. While this water was not exposed to the same contaminants (such as human and animal waste seeping into the earth) as the well, it was soon infested with flies and mosquitoes, or covered with a fine layer of wind-blown dust that had to be skimmed from its surface before drinking.
Because of the scarcity of water, they conserved it (and recycled it) in ways that would be unthinkable to most modern Americans. It was not uncommon for an entire family to take turns and bathe in a single tub of water. Bathing itself was usually limited to once a week, and following the family baths, the filthy bathwater was then used for light cleaning or heavy laundry. To conserve even more water, many families did not wash or rinse their dishes. In winter, melted snow supplemented the water supply.
The soap they used was made from two ingredients – tallow, or rendered animal fat and lye soap. Sometimes herbs like lavender and lemon balm would be added in for scent. Either way, the soap was used to wash themselves, their dishes, and their laundry.
To get clean the wealthy would mostly sponge off, usually just the face and hands with the chinaware washbasins and pitchers. Servants supplied the water, heated in the kitchen or laundry, and laid out clean shifts for the ladies and fresh dress shirts for the gentlemen. The wealthy also had larger wardrobe, so they appeared cleaner and didn’t smell as bad despite not bathing as much. But if they wanted a full bath, a wooden tub would be used. It had to be lugged from the laundry house, or wherever it was stored, and filled with water, usually hoisted from the well, and than heated over a stove.

STORAGE
Early humans, probably by trial and error, also started to develop basic forms of food preservation, which possible also made safer, e.g. drying, salting, fermentation. The Chinese reportedly preserved vegetables by fermentation in prehistoric times and Plinius preserved white cabbage in earthenware pots in Italy in the first century AD. The earliest recorded instances of food preservation date back to ancient Egypt and the drying of grains and subsequent storage in seal silos. The stored grain could be kept for several years to insure against famine in case the Nile River flooded. Fermentation, oil packing, pickling, salting, and smoking are all ancient preservation technologies.
Refrigeration in caves or under cool water were also well known ancient techniques of food preservation. People in many parts of the world developed techniques for drying and smoking foods as far as 6000 BC. Microorganism need water to carry out their metabolic processes. Salting was so important in Roman life that Roman soldiers received “salarium,” or salt, as payment. This is the origin of today’s term, ‘salary.’
Ancient Mesoamericans used salt as a preservative for trade in fish and other food stuff over long distances, as well as for storing food for long periods of time. Since Phoenician times (from around 1250 BC) the standard practice for preserving fish was to gut it, dry it and pack it in layers with salt.
SALTING  
Salt is a common food preservative favored because it naturally inhibits most bacteria and fungal growth. Ham, bacon, duck, fish, eggs, cheese and vegetables can be salted through dry cures or wet brines for either short or extended periods to achieve desired results. Salted foods are sometimes dehydrated, as in the case of lutefisk, and then re-hydrated later prior to cooking. Salted hams like Prosciutto de Parma use only sea salt and time, a year or more, to dry and cure the hams. Salting can be done by either rubbing the surface or burying the item in a salt bed. A salt paste or dough can also be used to encase the product.
BRINING
A cure dissolved in water is called a brine and works on the principle of diffusion. Because the salt solution is denser than the water in the food, equilibrium is sought thereby drawing salt and moisture into the product adding salt, flavor, and moisture to it. Brining can be done with any type of meat, fish or poultry. In most brine recipes a ratio of 3-5% salt is standard but could be as high as 9-10%.
PICKLING
Pickling is a tradition that dates back over 4000 years, to ancient Mesopotamia in the Middle East, where cucumbers were first cured. Although we tend to think of pickles when the term pickling is mentioned, it really applies to any foods that are preserved either through lacto-fermentation or through the use of a vinegar solution.  Pickled herring, popular in Europe, and ceviche a pickled fish preparation popular in South America, are examples of dishes that use this process.
Lacto-fermentation is the process used in German sauerkraut and Korean kimchi, in which vegetables are mixed with salt and spices and allowed to ferment at room temperature for weeks. Lacto-fermentation process enhances the nutritive value of vegetables and creates new flavor sensations. This is the same process used for curing dried salami.
Pickling in vinegar is done by creating a brine solution that usually includes salt, spices, and sometimes sugar. Herbs and spices such as mustard seed, garlic, cinnamon, or cloves, are often added to either lacto-fermentation or the vinegar pickling process, because in addition to adding flavors, they are also considered antimicrobial helping reduce bacteria.
MARINATING
Marinades can be prepared with vinegar, wine, or citric acids and may include seasonings, salt, sugar, or oil. Whereas pickling commonly is used when no heat is applied, marinades are commonly used for foods to be cooked. In addition to adding flavor to foods, marinades often are used to tenderize tough cuts of meat. Acidity will break down the meat fibers and make them tender but care must be taken as marinating items like meats for too long can cause the texture to have a mushy mouth feel.
CONFIT
The French term “confire” meaning “to preserve” refers to foods that are cooked and preserved in jars or pots. Fruit comfitures are cooked with sugar and sometimes other ingredients to add flavor and shelf life.  Confit meats, traditional to the Gascony region in Southwest France, are typically salt cured duck or goose submerged, and gently poached in fat until tender. Before the advent of modern refrigeration confits were placed in crockery pots or jars filled with the cooking fat and stored in a cool cellar where they could be held up to six months at a time.
SMOKING
Smoking is divided into either cold-smoking or hot smoking. The temperature of cold smoking is below 80˚F/27˚C degrees and merely injects smoke into the product without denaturing the proteins, for example salmon, or other types of fish. In hot-smoking the foods are cooked between 160-225˚F/71-110˚C degrees and the proteins are denatured and thoroughly cooked. Native Americans in the northwest smoked fish by hanging them from racks above an open fire, and the American barbecue slow cooks meats including pork ribs, beef brisket, and sausages in a similar manner. Scandinavians are known for their wood plank smoking, while sausage makers use smoke houses.
DEHYDRATING
A method of food processing done by simply allowing foods to dry out through exposure to sun and wind. Fruits, vegetables, meats, and fish are commonly preserved in this manner including sun-dried tomatoes, beef jerky, and herbs and spices. Other methods include oven-drying, or the use of food dehydrators.

Herb Of The Day     Hibiscus
Tumblr media
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, also known as rose mallow, is an attractive flower native to subtropic and tropical climates all over the world. Its petals are used to make hibiscus tea, a beverage which has been consumed in many different regions for centuries, including West Africa, Persia, Mexico, Ghana, Cambodia and Egypt. It is recognised in many cultures as a medicinal plant, and is used to treat colds and improve skin health, amongst many other applications.
Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. The genus is quite large, comprising several hundred species that are native to warm-temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Member species are renowned for their large, showy flowers and are commonly known simply as hibiscus. The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees. The generic name is derived from the Greek word which was the name Pedanius Dioscorides gave to Althaea officinalis.
Description
The leaves are alternate, ovate to lanceolate, often with a toothed or lobed margin. The flowers are large, conspicuous, trumpet-shaped, with five or more petals, color from white to pink, red, orange, peach,yellow or purple,and from 4–18 cm broad. Flower color in certain species, such as H. mutabilis and H. tiliaceus, changes with age.The fruit is a dry five-lobed capsule, containing several seedsin each lobe, which are released when the capsule dehisces(splits open) at maturity. It is of red and white colours. It is an example of complete flowers.
Symbolism and culture
The hibiscus is the national flower of Haiti and is used in their national tourism slogan of Haïti: Experience It! The hibiscus species also represents several other nations, such as the Solomon Islands. The Hibiscus syriacus is the national flower of South Korea, and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is the national flower of Malaysia. The red hibiscus is the flower of the Hindu goddess Kali, and appears frequently in depictions of her in the art of Bengal, India, often with the goddess and the flower merging in form. The hibiscus is used as an offering to goddess Kali and Lord Ganesha in Hindu worship.
In the Philippines, the gumamela (local name for hibiscus) is used by children as part of a bubble-making pastime. The flowers and leaves are crushed until the sticky juices come out. Hollow papaya stalks are then dipped into this and used as straws for blowing bubbles. Together with soap, hibiscus juices produce more bubbles.
The hibiscus flower is traditionally worn by Tahitian and Hawaiian girls. If the flower is worn behind the left ear, the woman is married or in a relationship. If the flower is worn on the right, she is single or openly available for a relationship.[citation needed] The hibiscus is Hawaii's state flower.
Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie named her first novel Purple Hibiscus after the delicate flower.
The bark of the hibiscus contains strong bast fibres that can be obtained by letting the stripped bark set in the sea to let the organic material rot away.
Precautions and contraindications Pregnancy and lactation
While the mechanism is not well understood, previous animal studies have demonstrated both an inhibitory effect of H. sabdariffa on muscle tone and the anti-fertility effects of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, respectively.The extract of H. sabdariffa has been shown to stimulate contraction of the rat bladder and uterus; the H.rosa-sinensis extract has exhibited contraceptive effects in the form of estrogen activity in rats. These findings have not been observed in humans. The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is also thought to have emmenagogue effects which can stimulate menstruation and, in some women, cause an abortion. Due to the documented adverse effects in animal studies and the reported pharmacological properties, the H. sabdariffa and H.rosa-sinensis are not recommended for use during pregnancy. Additionally, they are not recommended while breastfeeding due to the lack of reliable information on its safety and use.
Yellow Hibiscus Drug interactionsIt is postulated that H. sabdariffa interacts with diclofenac, chloroquine and acetaminophen by altering the pharmacokinetics. In healthy human volunteers, the H. sabdariffa extract was found to reduce the excretion of diclofenac upon co-administration. Additionally, co-administration of Karkade (H. sabdariffa), a common Sudanese beverage, was found to reduce chloroquine bioavailability.However, no statistically significant changes were observed in the pharmacokinetics of acetaminophen when administered with the Zobo (H.sabdariffa) drink.Further studies are needed to demonstrate clinical significance.
Magickal Uses of Hibiscus
Planetary Association: Venus
Gender: Feminine
Folklore: One species of Hibiscus, known as Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus), is extensively used in paper making. Another, roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is used as a vegetable and to make herbal teas and jams (especially in the Caribbean).

The production of Spices and Seasonings increases from 743564 MT in 2012 to 1006435 MT in 2017, with CAGR of 6.24%. In the world wide, Europe is the largest revenue market, who account for about 21.89% market share in the Spices and Seasonings market in 2016. China ranked the second place, and with a market share of 21.04 in 2016. McCormick, Unilever, Ajinomoto are the global leading manufacturers of spices.
ASTA defines spices as “any dried plant product used primarily for seasoning purposes”. Included are tropical aromatics (pepper, cinnamon, cloves, etc.), leafy herbs (basil, oregano, marjoram, etc.), spice seeds (sesame, poppy, mustard, etc.) and dehydrated vegetables (onions, garlic, etc.). Blends such as curry, chili powders, poultry seasoning, etc. are part of the spice shelf, too.
The FDA defines spices similarly, except that they do not include the dehydrated vegetables in the label definition of “spices”. Any form of dehydrated vegetable product must be labeled separately. Such color contributing spices as paprika, turmeric and saffron must either be labeled separately or as “spice coloring”. The Department of Agriculture (meat and poultry products labeling) has nearly the same requirements as the FDA, except that colorant spices and mustard must always be listed separately while onion powder and garlic powder may be listed as “flavors”. All other forms of dehydrated vegetables must be listed separately by name.

Onion imports making up just a small fraction of shortfall as prices surge - india news
Tumblr media
The government is scouring markets in West Asia and Europe for onions, but has been able to import just a fraction of what the country needs, prolonging the worst price spiral since the 2010 crisis.On November 22, the government contracted 6,090 tonnes of shipments from Egypt. These consignments are expected to begin arriving around December 10. On November 29, 11,000 tonne were contracted from Turkey and are expected to begin landing in January. Contracts for an additional 4,000 tonne from Turkey have been signed, a statement said on Wednesday. This shipment is expected to arrive by mid-January. Total shipments contracted for import so far stand at 21,090 tonne.The current shortfall, however, is far larger at 160,000 metric tonne, according to a comparison of arrival figures for the vegetable in wholesale markets during October-November from a year-ago period from the National Horticulture Development Board (NHDB) database.Retail prices spurted to their seasonal peak on Wednesday. The base ingredient of most Indian dishes was costliest, at Rs 200 a kg, in some markets of Vijayawada and Rs 140 a kg in Mumbai, according to price data from the NHDB. Onions retailed for Rs 130 a kg in Kolkata, Rs 120 in Chennai and Rs 130 in Bengaluru. In Delhi, onions sold for Rs 90 a kg on Wednesday, the data showed. A drought in 2009-10, the severest in three decades, crimped output, leading to a similar rise in prices. This year’s crisis is rooted in a supply crunch triggered first by a sluggish start to the monsoon and then delayed harvests due to heavy rains in August in central Indian states.India’s retail inflation rose to a 16-month high in October, at 4.62% against a 3.99% rise in September, mainly on account of a spike in vegetable prices due to unseasonal rains. “Our assessment is that rains have destroyed about 30% of the crop in Maharahstra,” said Shirish Jamdade, a horticulture official from India’s largest onion grower.According to an interministerial panel headed by the home ministry to monitor stocks, prices and imports, extreme weather has damaged 26% of the main onion summer crop nationally. Onion cultivation is concentrated in states such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, regions which witnessed several spells of flooding.The Union government has authorised the state-run Metals and Minerals Trading Corporation to import onions, but so far only about 1,600 metric tonnes have arrived at Jawaharlal Nehru Port. The imported onions, which are of a less pungent variety, have found few bulk buyers despite being offered at a third of the imported price of ₹45 a kg, an official said.Wild swings in onion prices have now become fairly entrenched. Every alternate year, there is at least one price spiral. Given their political significance, onion prices are emblematic of India’s larger food-inflation battle. Just between January and May this year, farmers faced huge losses when onions sold for a wholesale rate of ₹5-6 a kg at Lasalgoan, Asia’s largest onion market in Maharashtra, against an average cost of cultivation of ₹9.Rural food inflation rose to 6.42% in October against 3.22% in the previous month, while urban food inflation climbed 10.47% in October against 8.76% in September.The next harvest, known as late kharif, will begin to hit the markets from January onwards. Some experts fear a glut then. “Till then, of course, prices will remain under pressure,” said Ashish Gupta of Comtrade, a commodity trading firm.According to economist Ashok Gulati, alternating glut-shortage cycles in onions need a multi-dimensional fix. Investment in cold chains and adequate food-processing facilities can help tide over crises with dehydrated, stored onions. Price stabilisation requires a fine-tuned policy whereby the government can efficiently buy out excess stocks from the main winter crop, the largest harvest, and release them during summer shortages.The government took more administrative steps Wednesday, mainly to ease imports. “Fumigation condition relaxations that were earlier provided till 30th November, 2019 have now been extended till 31st December, 2019. This is expected to further increase participation, competition and reduce price,” a statement said. Source link Read the full article

Culinary History (Part 36): Preserving
In medieval Europe, protein foods such as meat & dairy could only be eaten fresh during summer and autumn.  In the winter and spring, they would be smoky or salty, because this was the only way to stop food from going off.
Any meat that wasn't eaten straight away after killing the animal was salted – layered up with huge amounts of salt in a large wooden cask.  This expensive to do – in the late 1200's, 2d of salt was necessary to cure 5d of meat – so only good-quality meat was salted.
Pork took salt the best.  The Elizabethans had bacon, ham, salt pork, and gammon (the hind leg after being dry-salted or brined).  There was also souse – a pickled mixture of all the leftover bits except the squeak.
Tumblr media
Glazed gammon.
Beef was also salted to make salt beef.  One version of salt beef was Martinmas beef, prepared around the feast of Martinmas (November 11th).  The beef was well-salted, then hung in the roof of a smoky house until it was well-smoked.
There is an urban myth that medieval cooks used spices to disguise the taste of gone-off meat, but this is not true.  Spices were too expensive to waste on bad meat, but they were used to make the salt meat taste less harsh.
Milk was preserved as well as meat.  In the East, it was curdled & fermented into yoghurty foods and sour drinks, such as the Kazakh kumis (a fermented liquor made from mare's milk, used as a drink and medicine).
Tumblr media
Kumis.
In the West, it was turned into cheese and butter, both highly-salted for preservation.  In Aelfric's Colloquy (late 900's AD), the “salter” says that “you would lose all your butter and cheese were I not at hand to protect it for you.”
Their butter was extremely salty.  Butter today has about 1-2% salt, but they had 5-10x that amount.  According to a 1305 record, 1 pound of salt was needed for only 10 pounds of butter.  This would be disgusting to eat, and the cooks had to spend a lot of effort washing salt out of butter to make it edible.
Fish had to be salted, too.  The Scottish kipper (salted, pickled, or cold-smoked herring) was not invented until the 1800's.  But before that, there was a kind of cured haddock produced near Aberdeen, smoked over peat & decayed moss.  They were called Bervies (also Buckies & Smokies? or were they a different type of fish/process?)
Tumblr media
Salted cod.
Salted/pickled fish was a staple European protein food, especially on Fridays.  Even before the Classical era, there had been a good trade in salted fish – first from Egypt and Spain; then from Greece and Rome.  In the Middle Ages, salt herring came from the North and Baltic Seas, where it was a major industry.
Salt herring is not easy to produce, because it goes off so fast.  It should be preserved within a day (preferably less).  In the 1300's, the manufacturers developed techniques for salting herrings on board, and this made it a lot faster.  The fish were re-packed when they got back to shore.
The Dutch were exceptional at this, which may have been one of the reasons they dominated the European market.  Their herring-gutters could process two thousand fish an hour when at sea.  Because they did it so fast, they accidentally left behind a part of the stomach containing trypsin (a chemical which speeds up the curing process).
Only eating fish preserved and not fresh would have been very monotonous, and there are many jokes about this.  In A Pleasant Comedie, called Wily Beguilde (Anon, 1606), one character says to another, “You dried stockefish, you, out of my sight!”
A “red herring” was a rather smelly cured fish which had been double “hard-smoked” and salted.  It is now a literary term.
Sweet preserved foods were much nicer to eat.  In the Mediterranean, the most common way to preserve fruit & vegetables was to dry them.  In this way, grapes became “raisins of the sun”, plums turned into prunes, and dates & figs shrivelled up and became sweeter.  During Biblical times & earlier, juicy fruits & vegetables were either buried in hot sand, or laid out on trays or rooftops.  The hot sun easily dried them out.
In Eastern Europe, the sun was less hot, so they had to develop more complicated methods.  From the Middle Ages, special drying-houses were built in Moravia (CZE) and Slovakia.  A drying-house was a room heated by a stove below it, with many wicker handles inside to hang the fruit on.
The English nobility had “stillrooms”, cool rooms where servants bottled fruits, candied nuts & citrus peel, distilled spirits, and made jams, marmalades (originally from quinces) and sweetmeats.
Candying had many alchemical superstitions and “secrets”.  For example, walnuts should be preserved on St. John's Day (June 24th). Fruits for preserving were picked just before ripening, because they held their shape better that way.  Preserving was a kind of magic, like embalming the dead, of holding back decay.
Hannah Wolley's The Queen-Like Closet (1672) gives a recipe for “The best way to preserve gooseberries green and whole”.  They were soaked three times in warm water; then boiled three times in sugar syrup; and finally boiled once more in a fresh sugar syrup.
Even though people had no idea why these methods worked, they succeeded in preserving most of the time.  It wasn't until the 1860's, when Louis Pasteur discovered the micro-organisms that made food & drink go off, that we found out.  People believed that the reason was spontaneous generation, with mysterious invisible forces causing mould to grow.  In reality, it's microbes such as bacteria, yeast and fungi that cause good fermentation for wine & cheese, and toxic fermentation when food degrades.
Drying works as a method of preservation because bacteria need moisture to grow in, and so when the fruit dehydrated, they mostly die off.  Pickling in vinegar works because microbes prefer alkaline conditions, and the acid stops mold from growing.
There wasn't much innovation in preserving, because mistakes could be deadly.  From the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 1800's, the only innovation was conserving meat in a layer of fat/oil – used in potted meats and duck/goose confit (salt-curing a piece of meat, and cooking it in its own fat).
Tumblr media
Duck confit.
