#the apricot or peach is cause i like the flavor of apricots more

[mindiemakes]

:D!

It is currently 6:17 pm

I feel like im very much an apricot or a peach

Carrot cake or some sort of mango ice cream

I feel like I would be a warm spring day with a slight breeze, though I prefer the weather and vibes of fall

I want nothing more in the world than a capybara. They're my favorite animal and I wanna feed it little oranges and take it swimming!

I wanna ask every single one of my mutuals these questions so I’ll just post them for everybody to answer & provide their reasoning in the tags!

What time of day specifically are you? (Ie: 2:37)

What fruit/vegetable are you?

What dessert are you?

What type of weather are you? (Ie: warm rain)

If you could own any animal without it harming the animal or the environment, what animal would you choose?

Wednesday sucked in so many ways, please go off about it

OK I HAVE BEEN INVITED TO INFODUMP AND I'M GONNA CRASH THROUGH THAT OPEN DOOR LIKE THE KOOLAID MAN. Now on a separate post where it won't derail the other thing I was trying to talk about!

ANYWAY

So you know how that "nightshade poison" that glows blue and makes people foam at the mouth and get hyperactively erratic/aggressive or whatever is a pretty major plot point?

Well, that's cool and all, except that "foaming at the mouth and erratic behavior" are NOT symptoms of nightshade poisoning. Like, at all.

Look. I have personally experienced (mild!) nightshade poisoning. I've also been intentionally dosed with scopolamine for good medical reasons (said reasons mostly coming down to: scopolamine patches are the only anti-nausea option that actually works for me). And you know what atropine and scopolamine, the main alkaloid poison compounds in nightshade, very emphatically do NOT do? Increase saliva production leading to "foaming at the mouth". The dry-mouth side effect of scopolamine patches is no fucking joke. I'm pretty sure it works as an anti-nausea med by magicking all the moisture out of your entire digestive tract from mouth to anus so there's nothing to throw up (this is mild hyperbole but seriously. The dry-mouth is BRUTAL, I'd almost rather hurl. Maybe not immediately after surgery to have a piece of my rib removed, though).

Nightshade poisoning also does not lead to erratic behavior. It has sedative effects, with fatigue/lethargy (loss of consciousness in severe cases) also being a major symptom. The dry-mouth and fatigue go along with headaches, dilated pupils, and irregular breathing, for the most part.

The poison with symptoms that most closely match what's portrayed in Wednesday as "nightshade poisoning" is actually cyanide, which DOES cause increased salivation, restlessness, and confusion instead of dry mouth and lethargy -- and is also named because of some relationship to a blue pigment, etymologically, so it even kinda vibes with that glowy-blue-spooky aesthetic choice. It's not a perfect match and definitely doesn't actually uh, look quite like that (no, cyanide is not actually blue), but one could forgive some cinematic dramatization given that we're already meant to be suspending disbelief to accept the existence of werewolves, witches, sirens, gorgons etc. for the sake of letting them tell a damn fantasy story... if they'd actually bothered matching the poison to the symptoms at the MOST FUCKING SUPERFICIAL GODDAMN LEVEL!

Honestly, I'd have been fine with the remaining poison-symptom inaccuracies if they'd just called it cyanide instead of nightshade, and they would have lost NO plot points because cyanide is also a poison that can be extracted from plants! Cyanide is the reason you shouldn't eat a lot of apple seeds. Or peach pits. Or bitter almonds (that's a species distinction, not "almonds that taste bitter"; the almonds you buy at the store are from a related, but different plant although yes there is still a small amount of cyanide in edible almonds. It's what gives them their distinctive flavor. Cyanide is also why no matter what some dangerous scammy types claim, apricot pits are the opposite of a "healthy superfood snack". You can give yourself cyanide poisoning real fast nibbling on those -- yes, eating apricot fruits or a normal amount of almonds is fine, you'd have to eat a kinda ridiculous amount of almonds to give yourself any problems and apricots don't put cyanide into the fruit, just the seed).

Fuck you, Wednesday writers, and your insistence on cheaply trying to max out your goth points with "ooooh, it's NIGHTSHADE because that sounds more goth" bullshit when cyanide is plenty goth, serves your plot just fine, and actually has symptoms at least REMOTELY FUCKING SIMILAR to what your fantasy poison is supposed to do.

              A Healthy Cup of Adventure Hunting Tea

More than often when I put my boots on and hit the ground for a day or weekend of adventure hunting, I will carry with me a small pouch, in which I carry tea bags. In some cases if I know where I am heading I will look for tea ingredients (herbs and flowers). Depending on the adventurous mind I am in, will depend the blend, which helps me take in the full experience of the adventure. While we all are effected and inspired by teas differently, here is my Adventure Hunting Tea influences:

Birch: An invoker of pretty much any adventure within autumn settings. I find it also invoke high desires for adventures that have some magickal element to them.

Mint Tea: Mint is my go to for many moods. Mostly fantasy and adventures dealing with  the air and wind. (Hilltops, windy days, canyons)

Black Tea: Pretty much all adventures but particularly when the adventure is home or office based like Gangsters and Noir settings. Very retro/vintage  Urban-ish feelings. 

Grapefruit: When I am looking to inspire adventures dealing with Magick, spells and other such themes, this is my go-to tea. Also any adventure that may take me into the wetlands and swamps.

Blueberry: Any adventure dealing with woodlands and forests

Raspberry: Any adventure in which I know there will be some sort of confrontation or battles

Elm: Elm tea takes me into wanting adventures into the winter season. Not sure why but it does.

Blackberry: Any adventure that takes me into a place like libraries or museums

Hawthorn: I have to be careful with this tea as it kicks in a lot of adventures with in the realms of love and passion. I mean HIGH love and passion adventures.

Rose petal/hips: Any adventure where love, passion and springtime take place

Linden Tea: This is my “go to” tea when I need to invoke summertime feelings and adventures. Its really powerful for me.

Chamomile: Any adventure that spans into times of rest and sleep. Often I will have Rose tea and Chamomile for a heightened experience

Lavender: Awesome tea for homebound adventures or adventures in farmers and gardens

Green Tea: Any adventure that takes place in fields. plains, meadows, gardens, valleys. Also I find most powerful when I am on summertime adventures.

Pumpkin Tea: Pretty much obvious, anything dealing with autumn as well as forest and farmlands.  

Beech: This tea I find is a leader to high action adventures in rustic places. So I am sure to be well geared for everything and everything, including battle.

Maple Syrup Tea: Another one of the teas that invoke high adventure in the theme of Fantasy and Westerns.

Oolong Tea: Any adventure that takes place or around a social gathering, such as a tavern scene, a dinner or hanging out at a campsite with friends 

Cherry: Any adventure that takes me into places like faires, carnivals, amusement parks and places of high wild entertainment

Chocolate Mint Tea: Any adventure dealing with the winter season and holidays.

Citrus Tea: (Orange/Peach/Apricot) This tea for me invoke pretty much any summer time adventures.

Lemon Tea:  Not only a Summer adventure invoker but specifically adventures  centered around places like boats, beaches, harbors, ports and other shorelines.

Cucumber Tea:  This tea REALLY invokes summer theme adventures but also places like rivers, gorges, brooks, lakes and other fresh water areas.

Willow: This tea I find is best for slow day adventures often leading to just picnics, fishing and lazy days. Defiantly a summer adventure invoker.

Oak Tea: Not a fave of mine taste wise but its does help me dive into adventures set in old urban areas, like old book shops, alleys, antique shops and so forth. 

Hibiscus:   This tea invoke adventures in me when there is a lot of trekking, walking and running. Areas like forest and woodland borderlines,  

Ginger Tea: A bit spicy for some but i takes me into adventures of Arabian and middle eastern delights. Deserts and exotic market places. (I lived 10 years in Two Suns Summerset so this tea was drunk a lot!)

Lemon Grass: Another tea which for me invokes a more “home-body” adventures. Specially farms, villages, orchards, gardens, villas and cottages.

Ash: This tea I find drives my adventures to one particular place and that is to open fields and meadows. A veru spring and summer time vibe I find comes with it.

Apples: Pretty much an go all tea for all sorts of adventures. Specially if your adventures border around these like pioneering and “westerns”

Pineapple: A great tea to help stimulate adventures in tropical places and summertime settings. 

Spearmint: (And Winter mint) Excellent to inspire and stimulate adventures set in the winter season. Spearmint I find is also a great inspirer of adventures dealing with wind (see MINT above)

Jasmine: Another tea for me that is bet taken to inspire adventures within the lines of love, passion and even just self love. I find when I by some new adventure gear, I will have a cup of Jasmine Tea to help me align my new clothes/gear to my “AH” self. 

Vanilla Tea: Hard to find but for me its an all around adventure invoker. It represents so much for me and invokes all sorts of adventures

Coconut Tea: Can be used to invoke and enhance tropical adventures as well as summertime and also adventures set in woodlands and forests, as it had a very earthy flavor

Walnut: This is one tea that for me I can not take without a weeks leave from work. Its powerful for me, invoking HIGH ADVENTURE feelings with lots of energy and want to go into battle. The smell alone gets my blood boiling to grab a sword or gun. The setting does not seen to matter; rustic or urban.

Cinnamon: (Spicy) Yeah, for me its invokes adventures in the autumn and winter seasons, but a very wild taste, so it will inspire adventures of power and action. 

Fig: A tea that, for me, inspires adventures in places like Italy, Greece, Egypt and other places along the Mediterranean, Earth and water feelings.

Pear: This is a rarity for me as I am not fond of tea BUT the tea invokes me to take off for areas like mountains, hills and cliffsides.

Corn Flowers: Another rarity for me but definitely invokes adventures within the realms of fields, farms and the old west.

Rosemary: For me, this tea is a “stay at home” tea or at the least inspires places and adventures in gardens, farms, fields and yards. I call it the “Wonderland” tea

Pine: Pretty much an all around rustic forest adventure invoker. However at times I tend to want to adventure in places like cafes, taverns, inns, B&Bs and other places or rustic and calm settings.

Black Cherry: This tea invoke adventures in pretty much all high urban places. I will have this tea before I hope the rail into the city.

Almond: This is another tea that sends me to adventure in the woods and forests. Other times it will inspire adventures in places like tavern, inns and campsites.

Honey: This is another one of those “Homebody” cottage teas but I find at times it will take me to exploring woods and the fields.

Alder: A tea I find induces adventures  leading me to places like rivers, springs and other fresh water sources.

Thyme: This tea is a killer and does me in. Not only does inspire high adventure but in dark places like basements, old houses, caverns, tunnels, swamps and wetlands. Or at the very least Rainy days. So for me I know I need to grab my sword or guns cause I know I will be dealing with some nasties.

Anyway that’s my list. Again these teas may inspire you differently and if you are an Adventure Hunter I encourage you to experiment. I would suggest NOT mixing and making blends at first but just let solo herbs spark and inspire. Start the day with a cup of tea and see where it takes you. Have a second cup for lunch or teatime to keep the inspiration going. I HIGHLY suggest you make a log of what sort of adventures the teas inspire in you. If you plan to carry teas with you on your adventure I highly suggest a air-tight baggy if you plan to be out in the rain or around water.

[girlfriendsofthegalaxy]

Imma send you an STS ask cause I wanna hear you talk about The Boys(TM). Anyways tell me about whether either of them have a comfort drink (coffee, tea, nuka cola?). Are there any that don't exist any more in fnv? Have they ever brought each other that drink? :)

hello thank you i’ve chosen this opportunity to ramble on about the wide variety of consumable liquids in this game, irradiated and otherwise. i cut a bit where someone’s in a “pharmacy”, and one of the tonic ingredients is irradiated seawater. which isn’t in the game, but should be. 

everyone’s comfort drink is alcohol. nobody has a particularly healthy relationship to alcohol in New Vegas. my personal alcohol preferences are really polar opposite from the boys’ (TM)- i like the frilliest sweetest most nonsensical drinks possible when i’m out and about. the only things in my fridge right now are rum and vodka for rum & cokes and screwdrivers. the one exception is a gin and tonic, which i have a craving for about twice a year. 

anyway, Angel has always struck me as a whisky man? not that you can get real scotch anymore post-War. i imagine local whisky is probably corn, really rough, one-note. i am imagining Blondie finding a rare unopened pre-War whisky while they’re out poking around some ruins, but I don’t really want to think about what that two-hundred-year-old bottle would taste like. 

if coffee were a more common item in this universe, I think Angel would be real into it. very much a comforting small rituals man what with the pipe and all. in one of the DLCs, you encounter the consumable Black Coffee made from roasted coyote tobacco chew and mesquite pods. i imagine it’s an acquired taste. there are no real teas or tisanes mentioned in this game except for Bitter Drink, which is the Legion’s stimpak version, sort of. this Blondie does not feel like he would like coffee or tea. i have nothing more than a vague gut feeling to base that on. no i do have something to base that on. the Legion does a lot of forced marches and camping cold and moving fast with no time for small comforts. i think there was never time for coffee or tea and he’s never gotten in the habit. 

i am desperately trying to work the Angel Face cocktail into this thing bc I had one last week and WOW it’s got a fucking kick. mine was 1/1/1 gin/apricot brandy/calvados, although anything in the peach and apple family can be substituted. it’s sort of dusty? very sweet.  

there is a beer brewer’s shack in-game, but I don’t think beer is their drink of choice.

i imagine Blondie has drunk a lot of gutrot moonshine and tequila in his life running around with Tuco. Cass’ moonshine recipe involves a fission battery, yeast, mutfruit, and maize. so that’s the general Mojave flavor profile we’re working with there. Angel will bring him some tequila as a peace offering at some point.

ready access to reasonably-priced purified water is still sort of a weird new thing to him, and it always feels very expensive and luxurious. angel has rarely, if ever, drunk irradiated water out of desperation.  

i don’t think Angel is terribly fond of soda- if it’s the only hydration available in an emergency, sure, but i don’t think he has a sweet tooth. Blondie does like sarsaparillas, indifferent on Nuka Colas. in my brain, a Nuka Cola is a fizzier Mexican Coca Cola. don’t ask me why or how i came to that conclusion bc I don’t know but I do feel very strongly about that.  

[raideo]

A list of sparkling water flavors that I’ve tried that aren’t Terrible imo if anyone wants to try getting off of soda and sugary drinks!  Feel free to add to this.

DISCLAIMER: Fat shamers don’t clown on this post, this is not a diet fad thing, I got into drinking no-sweetener flavored water because I have an insulin resistance and a lot of sugar is not good for me and may cause me to develop diabetes.  Also, things with alternative sweeteners, like Crystal Lite give me horrible indigestion and I’ve read a few things about them causing kidney stones and liver issues if you drink too much.  Idk how much truth there is to that, but the stuff makes me ill, so I figured I’d just find alternatives anyway.  I know there are a whole lot of memes and jokes about sparkling water having no flavor and tasting like shit, and if you’re used to sugary drinks- they honestly are not gonna impress you at first.  It took me a while to get a taste for them, and it might be different for you guys- but there was a ton of trial and error involved in finding flavors that I actually liked enough to keep buying- and I figured I’d share my thoughts on which ones I liked!  By no means are my tastebuds the same as everyone else’s but idk- I thought I’d post this anyway, LOL

La Croix (I know the ceo is a dick and there are a lot of jokes about lacroix but it’s a staple of mine for avoiding sugary drinks when I don’t wanna just drink water all the time) Lime Key Lime Coconut (CONTROVERSIAL- MOST PEOPLE HATE THE COCONUT) Also not trying to be a jokester- but mixing the lime and coconut is actually rly good! Apricot (seriously- believe it or not it’s good!) Hi-Biscus (I think this is a new one- ive never seen it before)

Bubly (I tried one flavor of this and hated it, and never tried any more until I had some other flavors at a family gathering and now It’s back on my list LOL) Lime Lemon probably other flavors are good, I just feel like those two are the safe bets

Waterloo (Not sure if this is sold nationwide- I’ve only found it in Shoprite) Lime Black Cherry (SERIOUSLY THIS JUST TASTES LIKE SODA!!! Idk how they managed to do it!? It has so much flavor but there’s no sweetener so it doesnt have that fake sugar taste??? witchcraft!)

Hint (Non-sparkling hint is very good but some places are starting to sell sparkling water now too) I haven’t honestly had any hint flavor that I did not like- but it’s expensive, and there’s definitely flavors that I prefer.  This stuff is magic- Idk how they do it and make it taste good... but I love this stuff.  But ... very expensive LOL Watermelon Cherry Pomegranite Peach

Apricot Seeds Vitamin B17

Apricot Seeds Vitamin B17 is like most nuts and seeds, very nutritious and once in a while arguable. The cause is that one of the nutrients they incorporate is called amygdaline, which is also known as nutrition B17. Amygdaline attacks most cancers cells, which facilitates in preventing most cancers.

There are some of the ingredients that comprise amygdalin but ones that are in particular rich in amygdalin have disappeared to a massive volume from our Western weight loss program. People throughout the arena who still consume an eating regimen rich in meals containing amygdalin were observed to be in large part free from cancer. One of the pleasant and simplest approaches to make certain the amygdalin on your eating regimen is with raw apricot seeds.

Apricot seeds are, like maximum nuts and seeds, very nutritious. Apricot seeds had been used to deal with tumors as early as AD 502. Apricot seeds are taken with the aid of many humans as a cancer treatment as they comprise excessive doses of Vitamin B17, an immune machine enhancer. Apricot seeds are an important supply of cyanogenic glycosides and laetrile that is considered to be a type of remedy or cancer.

Cancer

Cancer has now passed coronary heart sickness for the first time because of the top killer of Americans under age eighty-five. Cancer is now anticipated to strike 1 in 2 guys and over 1 in three ladies around the world of their lifetimes. Cancer takes place simplest because of an instantaneous deficiency of Laetrile and people so-known as carcinogens absolutely just make contributions to most cancers via setting further strain on the frame that precipitates the Cancers that result from Laetrile deficiency. Cancer cells all have the precise same characteristics. Cancer, by definition, is a Chronic Metabolic disorder and must be handled as such. Cancer is a systemic failure of the immune gadget and cellular verbal exchange. Cancer patients who have answered favorably to laetrile do no longer relapse while they are maintained on laetrile therapy.

Seeds

Many of the arena's top scientists declare that after fed on, Apricot Seeds could make it a hundred% impossible to expand cancer. Special components in Raw Apricot Seeds were proven for decades to kill present cancer cells in maximum instances. Fresh apricot seeds are a lovely, cinnamon coloration. Blanched apricot seeds are not suitable as a dietary complement. If you're an everyday user of apricot seeds, you already know the distinction. When apricot seeds are blanched they're boiled at excessive temperature, which ends up in a skinless, faded colored kernel. Blanched apricot seeds consequently have little value as a nutritional complement. Raw Apricot Seeds also incorporate vitamin B15, which get more oxygen to the tissue.

 B17

B17 nonetheless maintains to keep his lifestyles each day. Apricot kernels are a supply of vitamin B17. Apricot seeds are taken through many humans as a most cancers remedy as they contain high doses of Vitamin B17, an immune gadget enhancer. Stores do now not sell "raw" apricot seeds due to the raids the FDA made on those stores with diet B17 and the apricot seeds years in the past. Finding the proper issuer to buy your Vitamin B17 may be very critical.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy has in no way been shown to have healing consequences for most cancers. Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon or lung cancers. Chemotherapy and radiation have long been acknowledged to damage the fertility of sufferers, however little is known about greater targeted tablets such as Gleevec, recognized generically as imatinib. Chemotherapy entails poisoning the swiftly-developing cancer cells and additionally destroys rapidly-growing healthful cells inside the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract and so on, and may cause organ harm, like liver, kidneys, coronary heart, lungs and many others. Chemotherapy and radiation can purpose most cancers cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to damage.

Apricot seeds are an issue to seasonal availability. Apricot seeds have the very best content of B-17 on earth. Apricot seeds help your frame to treat cancer with protein-digesting enzymes provided with the aid of the pancreas. Apricot seeds are the spear and bulls-eye that I address and feature seen thousands of people get higher and stay often longer than they could have than if they went to chemo and/or radiation.

There are some approaches to combat cancer. One way to do this is to accumulate the immune system so that it's far very robust. This could be very vital due to the fact once the immune system gets crushed, this is when awful matters manifest and one of the terrible matters that appear is most cancers. Another way to guard your self is with antioxidants that fight cancer agents within the body. Antioxidants help in mobile duplicate. Amygdalin is specific in that it without delay assaults cancer cells.

Amygdalin does have a poison locked away in it - one of its ingredients is cyanide, and that is where the talk lays. Before you rush to judgment, please examine how this simply works. The apricot seed is particular in that the cyanide is locked into the amygdalin compound that is chemically inert and innocent to regular dwelling tissue. For instance, take into account common salt (sodium chloride). But this not unusual salt additionally has locked away in it a poison - chlorine. If you consumed too much salt at one time you'll have emerged as sick. The salt that everybody should be the usage of is Himalayan salt; it without a doubt contains vitamins. This is true of any substance, and would similarly observe to apricot kernels, however, comprehend that amygdalin is much less poisonous than salt and sugar.

Our bodies are growing cancer cells all the time which can be a scary notion, however usually the immune system deals and defeats them. There are times, for diverse motives, that the body can come underneath extreme or regular publicity to cancer-causing agents that the most cancers cells multiply at this type of price they come to be too extremely good for the immune device to deal with. This is in which the amygdalin is so specific in that it really works alongside the immune system and attacks the cancer cells directly.

Cancer cells have inside them this enzyme which unlocks the poison inside the amygdalin, and in this manner, the cancer cells are destroyed. Healthy cells do no longer comprise rhodanese. They comprise a specific enzyme that unlocks the amygdalin and releases nutrients and also a neutralizing agent which makes the amygdalin ineffective and consequently will no longer damage the healthy cell. Any poison that escapes into the bloodstream is quick neutralized.

 For the ones who've never eaten uncooked apricot seeds, there may be a requiring of the flavor as they do have some mild bitterness. This is because of the amygdalin/vitamin b17 inside the seed or as its miles once in a while known as, the apricot kernel. It's a great concept to have a bit a little bit of food to your stomach when eating large quantities of apricot seeds.

Another way to decrease the risk of nausea is to devour sure culmination that includes nitrilosides which consist of peaches, apricots, plums, apples, nectarines, cherries, and pears. This the culmination will help neutralize the small strains of the beta-glycosidase gift inside the saliva, stomach, and intestines that may bring about nausea.

For those who have had their body poisoned with the aid of chemotherapy and/or radiation, this has zapped your immune system immensely and you really need to examine getting supplements to bolster your device back up. Juicing with carrot/spinach juice is an awesome approach to certainly beautify your system. There are some correct natural products available to get you returned on the road to proper health and repair the compromised immune gadget.

Vitamin b17 drugs that may be taken together with the apricot kernels and there may be also amygdalin available in Injectable shape for folks that are in a selected stage of most cancers.

Vitamin b17 tablets are derived from the apricot seed and may be used for both the prevention and remedy of most cancers. Apricot Seeds Vitamin B17 Mostly it is found in the seeds of apricot, plums, peaches, and apple.  It is a natural chemotherapeutic agent that has been extracted from fruit kernels. Vitamin B17 has miraculous health benefits. For More Details Visit Vitamin B17 Website

I’ve read somewhere that tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown by home gardeners in america. I don’t know if that’s really true, but i do think of it as one of the most popular vegetables in east texas. I’ve been asked recently about some problems with our local garden tomatoes. Recent rains and our typical humidity are starting to cause problems on tomatoes for area gardeners.

Planting too early can leave them spindly and weak.

I love tomatoes. I know almost nothing about gardening. I want to know if it would be possible to grow a tomato plant that continuously grows tomatoes. For instance, if i had a climate controlled green room with a hydroponic set up, and a professional gardener overseeing it, would it even be possible?.

Tomato season is upon us and after choosing the right tomatoes to grow, they need to be planted! for this project, we chose a brandywine heirloom tomato to plant into a container, but the steps also work for planting tomatoes into a garden bed.

Blights are caused by fungus, and a number of them can plague tomatoes. This disease often presents with yellow or brown spots on the leaves of plants, or a dark spot on the fruit. One type, known as southern blight, often presents as white, moldy patches on tomatoes. Learn more about preventing southern blight here.

Choosing the Types of Tomatoes You Will Grow

There are literally hundreds of tomato varieties to choose from. However, good gardeners select varieties that perform well in the area where they live. The agcenter regularly con­ducts spring tomato trials. All varieties in the trials were rep­licated at least three times with 10 to 15 plants per replication. The varieties were also randomly planted in the field using drip irrigation and plastic mulch. Tomatoes come in two types: indeterminate tomatoes have apical meristems that terminate in a vegetative bud, allowing them to grow very tall. Determinate tomatoes are short, bushy types. Their apical meristems termi­nate in a flower bud.

When you’re deciding which type of (synthetic) fertilizer to buy, look for a few key nutrients. These include nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous (although you’ll want to stay away from a high-nitrogen fertilizer, as it can create tall, green plants with little-to-no fruit). Nitrogen encourages leaf growth. Potassium helps the plant grow rapidly; phosphorous is essential for the growth and development of roots as well as flowering. Growing tomato plants successfully entails knowing what types of nutrients tomatoes need from fertilizer.

You can get a plastic pot like this one, or one of those cow pots that are biodegradable so you can just pop them in the ground.

Even though the snow and ice has only recently melted away, it’s time to get serious about tomatoes. Growing prize-worthy tomatoes is a bit of a right of passage for most gardeners. In fact, tomatoes are typically the first the go-to-fruit for beginning gardeners. They’re easy, right? in some parts of the country, that may be the case. In dallas? not so much. North texas doesn’t exactly offer up the easiest of growing conditions.

Well, it’s tomato planting time here at the crossroads, and we thought we’d pass along a few of our tips about planting tomatoes. Leo and i are not experts by any means, but we have been gardening for a few years now and we have learned a few things along the way. Growing great tomatoes doesn’t just happen, and we’re glad to share what has worked for us.

To have the best chance at successfully planting and growing tomatoes , place tomato transplants in the garden after the last average frost date in your area. Although seeds can be directly sown in the garden and plants can be grown to maturity in warm areas, most successful tomato gardeners buy transplants or start seeds indoors six to eight weeks before their average last frost date. Plant small bush tomato varieties 24 inches apart and larger varieties, especially sprawling indeterminate plants, 36-48 inches apart in rows 36 inches apart.

To reduce chances of damaging the roots, add your tomato support at this stage before the plant grows too large. If you are growing determinate tomatoes, the metal conical cages that you find in most garden centers will suffice. But, i am generally not a fan of them for indeterminate tomatoes, as i find they’re too flimsy to support the long, sprawling vines.

Why You Forgot Everything You Learned In School (And How To Change That)

Listen, we all feel like we could use a bit of memory training. Let’s start with a small thought experiment. Take a minute to think back to your science classes in high school and see how much you can recall.

Can you explain the elements that make up an atom, or the basic principles of plant biology? How about physics, or simple chemistry? Do facts and procedures come rushing back, or do you remember your teacher’s face, or the way the room smelled after an experiment?

Everyone will have different memories, and they may have very little to do with what you were taught in class. You might not remember anything at all. It’s extraordinary how quickly we manage to forget what we crammed during all those long hours of study. Algebra. Long division. Verbs, adverbs and relative clauses. The causes of World War I. Where did it all go, we muse, years later?

It is extraordinary that so many of the world’s education systems, which are usually based on testing how well a student can recall and apply information, are designed without any real thought of how our memories work. Memory is perhaps the most fundamental factor in how human beings learn. Memory training should inform all aspects of education; instead, it’s an afterthought.

Advances in cognitive science have huge implications for how we learn and remember things. It’s time for policymakers, educators, and anyone who wants to learn something — in other words, all of us — to start listening.

It’s Gotta Be In There Somewhere

Imagine a large, dusty storeroom that contains all the things you’ve ever learned. This is what Robert Bjork, psychology professor at Stanford, calls storage space. Your phone number, the Spanish word for “cat,” the route to get back home from the pub after you’ve had one too many — all these memories are kept inside the storeroom.

So when you try in vain to recall something, the problem is not that you don’t know it. It’s a question of the retrieval strength of the memory: whether you can access it or not. You can remember your current address because it has both high retrieval strength and storage strength, but might struggle to remember your old address because although you knew it well once (high storage strength), you haven’t activated that memory in years (low retrieval strength).

So if you really want to remember something, you need to have it well-situated in your storeroom, as well as know where to find it when you need it. A lot of research in the Bjork Learning and Forgetting Lab centers around “desirable difficulties,” the gist of which is that if something is initially difficult, you will actually learn it more deeply and be able to recall it later on. Desirable difficulties include spacing, where you study in chunks rather than all in one go, testing rather than re-studying the same material, and varying the conditions of practice instead of keeping them constant.

Will This Be On The Test?

Picture the scene, the night before a big exam: coffee, notes, a faint air of panic, cramming, cramming and more cramming.

This is a perfect example of how not to learn something. One of cognitive psychology’s most robust findings, demonstrated consistently in a variety of contexts, is the importance of spaced repetition in memory training. If you want to learn something, do it in chunks over a period of time. Each time you access that memory again, you are increasing its storage strength.

But don’t just read over your notes — test yourself with a short quiz or try to explain what you’re learning to a friend. Frequent low-stakes testing can be really helpful as both a diagnostic tool (to check if you’ve really understood something) as well as an aid to memory improvement.

The spacing intervals are important. Increasing the intervals between learning sessions, and thereby reducing the accessibility of information, actually fosters deeper learning. When you struggle to remember something that you learned a few days ago, you’re forced to work hard and engage with the material more. So you might study something on Monday, do some follow up on Tuesday, take a quiz on Thursday and then another quiz the following week. The gaps between study should initially be small and gradually increase. You want the memories to be difficult to access, but not impossible (there’s no benefit to studying things a year apart).

But what if time is of the essence? Bjork’s findings suggest that interleaving can actually mimic the benefits of spacing. This is where you chop and change what you’re learning. By interspersing different elements, you are effectively “reloading” each time, forcing yourself to learn new strategies to retrieve information. A random order is best.

Get In The Cue

Neuroscientist Daniel Willingham calls memories “residues of thought.” But simply thinking about something is not necessarily enough to create a memory. Why do we remember the things we do? You might remember a beautiful, quaint old ice cream parlor you visited last summer, but not the flavor of ice cream you had. Why would you remember one aspect but not the other?

Much of what we remember is not a result of conscious effort. We remember the aspect of an experience that we think about the most. So if you see a barking dog while going for a stroll, you might think about the sound of the bark, or how the dog looks, or you might wonder if it’s annoying for the neighbors. How you think about the experience will shape that particular memory.

Everyone has had the experience of visiting a place they knew as a child and having memories flood back. Cues are what help us retrieve memories. The creation of specific and detailed cues is the key to remembering things, and Willingham argues that missing or ambiguous cues are a major reason why we can’t recall something. He cites an example of saying to a friend, “Here’s that $20 I owe you,” and the friend saying “You don’t owe me $20.” A better cue would offer more information, like: “Remember, we were at Macy’s and I wanted to buy that shirt, but their computer wouldn’t take my card so I had to borrow cash?”

Let’s try another little experiment:

Look at the following list, and then look away and write down the items. Have a friend read the list to you, if possible.

apple, blueberry, grape, orange, raspberry, watermelon, fig

Did you get most of them? Probably. Your mind instinctively says “This is a list of fruits that I just heard.” Now do the same for this list:

apricot, banana, peach, pear, grapefruit, blackberry, plum

If you didn’t get as many, there’s a reason for that. The cue, “a list of fruits that I just heard,” becomes crowded with correct words (from this list) and incorrect words (from the previous list). If you do a third list of fruits, chances are you will remember even fewer of them. But this one should be easier:

doctor, soldier, firefighter, teacher, chef, secretary

With this list, your mind is able to form a new cue, different and unambiguous.

Think Of A Particular Duck

Willingham identifies several memory training techniques to create effective cues:

Have you ever studied music? If so, how do you remember the lines of the treble clef? My piano teacher taught me that Every Good Boy Deserves Fruit (E-G-B-D-F). When I get east and west mixed up, I remind myself to Never Eat Soggy Weetbix. This method is known as acrostics. Similarly, we can use acronyms, such as HOMES to indicate the great lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior).

Language learners tackling foreign vocabulary might want to use keywords. If we look at the Spanish word for mushrooms, champiñones, we can see it is very similar to the English word champions. To make a memory cue, try visualizing a champion boxer, arms held aloft in the ring, with mushrooms on his hands instead of boxing gloves.

Music and rhymes are extremely powerful. No doubt you can recall childhood nursery rhymes and chants, and probably a few advertising jingles as well. Songs and chants are predominantly used with young children but are also very effective for adult learners.

Mnemonic associations are best for more abstract things. What if you can never remember if a school administrator is a principal or principle? Just remember that she’s your pal. If you’re learning devnagri (Hindi) script, you might think that the symbol for ja, ज, has a hook, which would be a good place to hang a jacket.

It’s best if these memory training cues are personalized, bizarre, memorable, and specific. Willingham argues that if you want to create a visual image of a duck, “you must think of a particular duck. You must specify its size, proportions, coloring, posture, etc. All of these details make the duck more distinctive, and thus less likely to be confused with other ducks, and therefore a better cue to the target memory.”

Finally, here are a couple of less well-known suggestions if you have to remember a list. One is using pegwords. First, you make up some simple rhyming pegwords like “one is a bun, two is a shoe, three is a tree.” Then if you’re trying to memorize “onion, duck, artist,” you could picture a sad man holding a bun with only onions in it, a duck trying to climb a ladder while wearing oversized shoes, and finally an artist falling out of a tree.

Perhaps the oldest mnemonic device is the method of loci or “memory palace” technique espoused by the Greeks and Romans. This involves creating a kind of mental geography — say a walk from your front door out to the street — and using strong imagery to link certain words to key points along your “mental walk.” Again, bizarre and distinctive imagery works best.

Memory Training Is Forever

Before you rush off to study at spaced intervals, creating clever mnemonic cues to help you with your Italian verbs, one final word of warning:

We constantly overestimate how well we know something. Feeling like you know something is not a very accurate guide — both children and adults consistently “think their learning is more complete than it really is,” according to Willingham.

His rule of thumb is to study until you know the material, and then keep studying, for about another 20 percent of the time you’ve already spent. In other words, because we overestimate our knowledge, we should overlearn by about 20 percent.

The latest in curriculum design from the UK, “mastery curriculum,” is heading in this direction. Its principles include spending more time on fewer subjects, interleaving topics so that learners encounter them early on and then are exposed to them repeatedly over time, and using frequent low-stakes testing, spaced out over varying intervals, to stimulate deeper learning and recall. Babbel and other educational apps also incorporate spaced repetition practices and short quizzes to aid memory retention.

In a world where the importance of human memory seems to be ever diminishing, our understanding of the crucial role of memory training in learning is moving in quite the opposite direction.

White Wine: Article of Wine

White Wine: Article of Wine

White wine and what you need to know about them. Though I like some red wines made, White wines were once my favorite. There was a time I enjoyed wine only. Either with dinner or by itself, there are some beautifully tasty white wines out there. Knowing All About White Wines is vital, though. It’s not just the stand-alone taste. It’s about the food you would possibly be having with it, which will completely change the taste, if not paired correctly, which is missing out on kosher wine and honest experience. If you would like to dive in and taste while you learn, consider joining a wine of the month club as I did. Take a glance, join, provides it a try.

White Wines “Either give me more wine or leave me alone.”

Rumi — the legendary Persian poet — delivered this equally legendary line almost one thousand years ago. And his message still rings faithful today. While wine seems to be the well-liked vino for so-called connoisseurs, it’s a lighter cousin (you know white wine) shouldn’t be discounted as it’s the perfect choice for everything from getting toasty together with your Loved ones, to eating a pleasant plate of Long Island oysters. Or doing both at an equivalent time. Which sounds quite fun

But if you don’t know the difference between a buttery Chardonnay and a citrus-accented Pinot Grigio? How are you alleged to walk into a wine store confidently, or order from an in-depth wine list with any semblance of certainty? Wine is an investment and the way you can expect to take a position wisely if you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about? That’s why I created this all about the wine page on behalf of You and me.

Remember: there’s nothing sexier than ordering confidently, apart from ordering wine confidently.

Chardonnay A White Wine

“You know, tons of individuals consider Chardonnay to be a secure bet. Something light and straightforward and cozy,” Jenkins said, “but actually, it’s tons more full-bodied and aggressive than you’ll think. And therefore, the profile also can vary greatly counting on the region. There are tons to be considered here.”

Chardonnay is assumed by many to be “standard” wine. On the entire, it’ll usually be fruity, velvety, and full. But American Chardonnay will typically be creamy, and more “buttery” than blends that come from the Burgundy region of France. As an example (which are going to be a touch more pointed, and can traverse some softer foods). And for what it’s worth, an “unoaked chardonnay” — meaning not aged in oak barrels — will often have a way lighter body. Carry some more robust, fruitier flavors which may absorb during the method.

“Chardonnay is often a secure bet, a crowd-pleaser, especially if it’s an American blend. But confirm you furthermore may determine where it’s actually from before you create any assumptions,” Jenkins added.

Let’s Learn all about white wines now. Best Foods to Pair It With?:

New-school, American Chardonnay will undoubtedly pair well with anything creamy or packing much umami.

“A vibrant, mushroom-centric dish that might be ideal there,” Jenkins said. “A Chablis, on the opposite hand, is super light and mineral-y, and would be better served as a companion to oysters.”

Make sure to read your labels, potential wine-drinkers!

Sauvignon Blanc

More on the dry side. Slightly tart. Hints of fruit. More acidic than your classic Chardonnay.

“My ideal Sauv Blanc is perhaps a zippy, New Zealand variety,” Jenkins said. “Often you’ll get a very nice, green, almost grapefruity taste. It’s a superb wine to drink on its own without food. It’s bright, refreshing, and may stand alone as an experience.”

Some Sauv Blancs also can have a subtle layer of metallic taste to them, but not enough to throw off the layers of citrus.

“It’s an excellent pick if you would like something light, and typically just sweet enough,” she added.

Let’s Learn all about white wines now. Best Foods to Pair It With?:

“A softer Sauvignon Blanc will go rather well with almost any sort of cheese or charcuterie,” Jenkins said. “But ones with a more metallic taste will go better with fresh seafood. Either one may be a solid bet, though.”

Moscato

“Moscato may be a style that has become increasingly popular over the past five years approximately,” Jenkins said. “I still see it more and more, and its popularity doesn’t seem to be slowing down.”

Think of a Riesling (we’ll get to those, later) but more versatile and not as outrightly sweet. It’s bright. It’s fresh. But, it still features a distinct “softness” to it, which creates it infinitely drinkable.

“It’s not a surprise that more people are discovering and falling crazy with Moscato. Because it’s a very versatile wine that pairs well with many foods,” Jenkins said. “It’s fun to drink.”

Best Foods to Pair It With?:

Because it’s usually so fresh, light, and fun, it makes a perfect partner for a crisp summer salad.

“Or, it pairs rather well with a portion of spicier food,” Jenkins said. “I would drink a glass or two with a Thai dish, for instance. It won’t overpower the food, and therefore the spice during this case would only compliment the wine.”

Pinot Grigio A White Wine

With all due reference to Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio is perhaps truth crowd-pleaser of the wine world. It’s light-to-medium in the body. Always crisp, and typically dry.

“You can usually detect a Pinot Grigio by its light yellow, almost straw-colored tint,” Jenkins said. “In most cases, you’ll expect a citrusy taste, with green apple notes.”

One of the explanations Pinot Grigio is such a crowd-pleaser is because the varietal is pretty consistent, regardless of where it comes from.

“If you order a glass or bottle of Pinot Grigio almost anywhere within the world, you ought to expect an equivalent experience,” she said. And speaking of everywhere the planet, “Pinot Gris” is simply the Italian translation of Pinot Grigio. So you’re getting an equal thing.

It’s like getting to Starbucks in another country. It’d not be an adventure, but a minimum of you recognize your latte goes to be familiar, right?

Best Foods to Pair It With?: Pinot Grigios can have strong fruit notes that traverse some weaker foods, so pair carefully. “A nice, creamy pasta is certainly an honest choice or a strong salad,” Jenkins said. “Pinot Grigio is also among those wines that’s great on its own — so don’t desire you’ve got to pair it with food, necessarily.”

Gewürztraminer A White Wine

A soft, sweet wine, with floral notes and an intense mouthfeel, may cause you to desire your tongue is “coated” (in an honest way).

“Primarily made within the north of France, it’s a touch colder there. Therefore the grapes spend a touch longer on the vine, take a bit longer to ripen,” Jenkins said. “This tends to form the wine a touch bit sweeter.”

Typically more sugary than a Moscato, but not as sweet like a Riesling, Gewürztraminer may be a severely underrated wine for anyone trying to find that Goldilocks middle ground of dry/sweet.

Best Foods to Pair It With?: “Again, this is often another sweet wine which will go amazingly with spicy, Asian foods,” Jenkins said. “And, if you get one made with really ripe grapes, it can function a wine .”

Riesling could be the world’s hottest wine, but you shouldn’t dismiss it as just being saccharine. It’s such a lot more going for it, people.

“Most people consider Riesling as an excellent sweet wine,” Jenkins said, “and during a lot of cases, it’ll be sweet. But some expressions have a more mineral-y, almost ‘petrol’ or oily feel to them. The body is going to be steeper and has more weight to that.”

Still, if you would like an excellent sweet wine — like fresh — your best bet is perhaps even a Riesling.

“They vary in their sweetness, but all of them are sweet,” Jenkins said.

Best Foods to Pair It With?: “It’s a wine in many cases, so I’d suggest serving it with a fruity, summer cobbler, for instance,” Jenkins said.

And, continuing the trend, it’s a reliable option to pair with spice.

“Surprisingly, Riesling can go alright with Indian dishes that pack plenty of spice, alongside more savory stuff,” Jenkins said.

Viognier A White Wine

Though primarily a blending grape, on its own, Viognier will have a medium to full body, like a softer fruit.

“You might get a touch of peach, apricot, or nose,” Jenkins said. “A lot of those will now begin of Australia, and Aussies do love their bold, fruity wines. Their Viogniers are not any exception here. “

Best Foods to Pair It With?: “This is another varietal that might go well with a salad, something with a cucumber base,” Jenkins said. “Or, some grilled shrimp, with a touch garlic. it’ll traverse the strong flavoring only enough to form it worthwhile .”

what is the bad part of juicing and smoothies?

Here are easy and simple tips to reduce waste, get more nutrients, and save time and money. Whether you’re a juicing or smoothie beginner or a long-timer, we guarantee that you’ll find some surprising and all helpful!

Juice or Smoothie

Juice separates the juice from the pulp whereas a smoothie includes everything. The pulp is full of nutrients so it stands to reason that smoothies contain more nutrients. This oft-argued point is not necessarily true, because the high powered machine that makes a smoothie adds heat and oxygen which actually destroys some nutrients. So the difference in nutritional richness between a smoothie and a juice is not worth arguing. They are both worlds better than anything bottled or canned! Related Articles : https://www.juicingpoint.com

The important differences involve calories and fiber. One of the myths of juicing is that when pulp is removed, there goes all the fiber. The truth is some fiber is lost, but not all. Much soluble fiber remains in fresh juice while most insoluble fiber is removed. The pulp is additional calories so juice is preferred for weight loss. But those with digestive issues will find more help in the fiber-rich smoothie. Also, one of the most powerful cholesterol-lowering compounds is insoluble fiber so a smoothie would be our choice for lowering cholesterol.

A quick note about the machines that make juices and smoothies. You can use a cheap kitchen blender to make juice but the soupy grit will need to be strained thru a coffee filter which takes time. It’s just not powerful enough to turn a whole fruit or vegetable – skin, seeds, and all – into a smooth drink. A more expensive machine is required. However, your cheap blender is very useful for adding avocado or banana to your juice – foods that clog most juice machines.

Mixing Fruits & Veggies

According to nutritionists fruits and veggies don’t mix with two exceptions: carrots can be mixed with any fruit, and apples can be mixed with any vegetable. But then again we mix all kinds of fruits and veggies in our juice recipes without any digestive issues. how to make apple juice without a juicer https://www.juicingpoint.com/easy-home-made-apple-juice-recipe-without-a-juicer

Go Green

Leafy greens are so packed with nutrients they are called ‘superfoods.’ The most super of them all is wheatgrass which you can grow easily at home. Greens are bitter and powerfully rich so you only need a bit to benefit. Too much may upset your stomach. You can also reduce the bitter taste by adding a little lemon.

Juice & Smoothie Machines

‘Centrifugal’ juice machines are less expensive, but they don’t do greens, and we hope we’ve convinced you of the importance of adding greens to all your juice recipes. We suggest a ‘slow’ juice machine (about $300 – Hurom 100, Omega VERT, or Breville Crush) which adds less heat and oxygen thereby preserving more nutrients.

Juice the Skin, Pith, and Pulp

Rough skins, such as pineapple and avocado, and any pits and seeds should be removed. But apple skin and citrus peel are edible (except the orange) and full of nutrients. Also the pith, that soft white material just under the rind, also has nutrients. As for pulp, add mayonnaise to it for a delicious mock tuna salad. Or add pulp to pancakes, cookies, and even hummus. Some seeds and greens will upset your stomach, so make sure you are knowledgeable about that before starting your smoothie adventure. 3 day juice cleanse recipes https://www.juicingpoint.com/3-day-juice-cleanse-recipes-at-home

Go Organic

Whatever gets on the skin of fruit or veggies will be absorbed to some extent. Washing your fruits and vegetables is very effective against bacteria but not fertilizers and pesticides. Anything labeled ‘organic’ means that it is free of these chemicals. Refer to the Environmental Working Group’s annual list of the most chemically laden fruits and vegetables (‘Dirty Dozen’) that you should thus try to bury organic.

No More Mold

Here’s a money-saving trick. Just spray or rinse your berries in a solution of 1 cup vinegar and 10 cups water. Let them soak for just a few minutes and then let them dry completely. You will not taste any vinegar flavor on your berries and they’ll last a week longer without mold.

Drink Right Away

The rich nutrients in fresh juice begin to disappear within minutes so drink your juice or smoothie immediately. It’s better to freeze your produce than a juice or a smoothie.

Good Morning

Studies have found that our bodies absorb more nutrients in the morning. So have a juice or smoothie for breakfast.

Juice for Kids

Research has found that children who take multivitamin supplements have higher IQ’s. Introduce your child to fresh juice which is more nutrient-rich than the best multivitamin with more vitamins, minerals, fiber, enzymes, and phytonutrients. Also, research is beginning to question the safety of supplements. For instance, vitamin E and selenium increase the risk of prostate cancer in men under 65, and beta-carotene increases the risk of lung cancer in smokers.

Food Borne Illness

The CDC reports that produce is the leading cause of food poisoning in the US (although more hospitalizations are due to dairy products and more deaths are attributed to poultry). Produce with the greatest risk are melons (the rough skin traps bacteria and gets carried to the flesh when cut) and packaged pre-cut leafy greens.

The CDC and FDA recommend rinsing your produce in cold water, don’t buy pre-cut veggies and fruits, and grow your own sprouts. Washing with soap is not recommended. For easy guidelines see this article by the University of Maine.

Add a little vinegar for additional protection. A study published in the “Journal of Food Protection” found that washing apples with vinegar and water reduced bacteria significantly better than water alone. The premier food magazine, “Cook's Illustrated,” sponsored a similar experiment and found that vinegar killed approximately 98% of bacteria on the surface of fresh fruits and vegetables. No soaking required! And no vinegar taste! Just spray white vinegar on your produce and rinse.

But let’s put this in perspective I know folks who rarely rinse their produce and have never had a problem. I’m one of them! However, if you’re pregnant, or you're making juices or smoothies for your children – both have a greater risk of infection and illness - I’d surely rinse all produce. And every time I read something about the working conditions of huge farms that grow and harvest commercial foods, I start rinsing all my produce! Unlike packaged beverages which undergo pasteurization to eradicate harmful organisms, fresh juice can only be made less risky by rinsing your produce. Also, storing fresh juice makes it more vulnerable to bacteria so it’s best to drink it right away.

Toxic Substances

Some seeds, rind, and leaves of common fruits and vegetables should not be eaten! This will likely surprise you as much as it did me! The seeds of apples, peaches, apricots, cherries, and raspberries, as well as the leaves of carrots, rhubarb, parsnip, and Queen Anne’s Lace (wild carrot) contain toxic compounds, but the amounts are so minute as to be of no real concern.

The major compound is known as amygdalin which produces cyanide, but the amount is so small that your body easily neutralizes it. There are claims that amygdalin has positive uses including cancer treatment. The American Cancer Society reviews this claim in a thorough and balanced article, and for an alternative view click here. The bottom line is that you would have to eat handfuls of these seeds or pits AND DIGEST THEM to experience serious illness. The seeds and pits have a tough coating impervious to digestion by most mammals. Symptoms of amygdalin toxicity are severe stomach cramps, headache, dizziness, difficulty breathing, and seizures. However, if too many seeds were eaten and digested, one would likely vomit a few times and not develop any other symptoms.

The rind of orange and grapefruit has a small amount of a toxic compound now used as an insecticide. Ingesting a small amount is absolutely safe for you and your pets, but several orange peels will definitely upset the stomach.

There is also mention of toxic substances in some sprouts. This is another one of those pieces of info that's interesting but of no real health concern. In the interest of awareness here's a brief review of toxins in sprouts. Lathyrogen is found in an inedible species of bean in the genus Lathyrus. Inedible so not a concern. Saponins are found in bean sprouts and are not harmful, though some claim this is so because outside of the body in test tube conditions saponins kill red blood cells. They are not only harmless in the body but extremely beneficial for lowering cholesterol, protecting against heart disease, and fighting certain cancers. Canavanine is a toxic compound found in alfalfa seeds. However, as with the toxin in apple seeds, it is so minute as not to be an issue. An adult would have to consume 14,000 milligrams of canavanine at one time to feel any toxic effects. A large helping of alfalfa sprouts gives you a few milligrams. For more about these compounds in sprouts go to this link.

Digestive Issues

A while we’re on the subject of stomach upset, certain fruits and veggies are so powerful that you may experience some stomach distress if you drink too much of them. Too many leafy greens or wheatgrass can do this. For others, too much beet will do the same. For those with sensitive digestion, mixing raw fruits and veggies can do this. I mix them every day with no ill effect. Standard nutritional rules state that in generally fruits and veggies should be eaten separately, though certain fruits go well with certain vegetables. In fact certain mixes are highly recommended for juice fasting and dieting, and for fighting diseases. The most common ‘ill effect’ of mixing fruits and veggies is gas, because fruit digests faster and uses different digestive enzymes. Carrots and apples are considered exceptions – carrots go well with any fruit and apples go well with any veggie.

Nutritional Deficiency

This is a concern only for those who limit themselves to juice or smoothies alone for long periods, especially if you’re pregnant, a young person still growing, and women in and past menopause. You can get all necessary nutrients from fruits and vegetables, but special attention needs to be paid to nutritional requirements during long juice fasts and diets. The nutrients which need special attention are iron, protein, calcium, B12, zinc, and Omega 3 fatty acids. These are critical nutrients that are difficult but not impossible to get from a vegetarian, vegan, or all-juice diet. What Juice is Good for Gout https://www.juicingpoint.com/what-juice-is-good-for-gout-answered-plus-how-to-have-it

Medical and Dental Issues

Grapefruit juice is contraindicated if you take certain medications. Talk to your physician or pharmacist if this is a concern.

If you have any thyroid issues, compounds in raw cruciferous vegetables can interfere with your treatment. Again talk with your physician because thyroid and other health problems can be effectively improved with certain fruits and vegetables. Cruciferous veggies include kale, broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, cauliflower, turnips, arugula, Brussels sprouts, radishes, collard greens, kohlrabi, rutabaga, and watercress.

Another medical concern is diabetes. The old rule of thumb is that anyone who is diabetic should stay away from fruit and sweet veggies such as carrots, beets, etc. Recent research has overturned this with the discovery that many fruits and veggies have compounds that actually help regulate sugar levels better than cooked food. This is exciting news for diabetics so talk to your physician right away! There is concern about the issue of fiber. Fresh juice separates 'pulp' from juice. The pulp is primarily insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber remains in the juice. Nonetheless, juice provides less fiber than the whole food unless one returns the pulp to the juice. For those who need more fiber in their diet, blended drinks (popularly known as 'smoothies') may be a better choice since they do not separate pulp from the juice. Pulp is also added calories so for weight loss, juice is a better choice. The National Osteoporosis Foundation points out that compounds in dark leafy vegetables (kale, spinach, etc.) can interfere with calcium absorption. They recommend that these rich foods be added to your juice recipes 2-3 times a week instead of every day.

Spinach is also high in oxalate, a compound that can lead to the formation of kidney stones. People with calcium oxalate kidney stones should avoid overdoing this veggie.

Don’t juice too many tomatoes or oranges if you have acid reflux since the high acid content can aggravate and even lead to acid reflux. Finally, there is a greater risk of gum disease and tooth decay chiefly among children and teenagers whose diets are entirely vegetables and fruits (vegan and vegetarian) without proper attention to the nutrients mentioned above according to Dr. Ludwig Leibsohn of the Academy of General Dentistry. These nutrients are not easily found in a strict fruit and veggie diet.

Wine Aroma Quince

Wine tasting is no more than taking a few moments to pause before drinking, and swallowing a glass of wine. A minute spent on considering the wine’s smell, taste and texture is one of the most useful learning aids to wine appreciation. Tasting consists of three basic steps:

Look – examine the wine in the glass against a white background. The colour of a wine can give clues to its age, the grape from which it is made, even where it is from. But all that needs a lot of experience and knoweldge. For now, simply check that it is clear and bright.

Smell – known as the "nose" of the wine, the aromas that emerge form the glass if swirled gently can tell you a lot about it: perhaps reminding you of certain fruits, or aromas like nuts, vegetables, herbs, or even meat. Concentrate on your very first sniff – when the receptors in your nose are sharpest – and think about what you can smell.

Taste – take a sip of the wine and hold it in your mouth. Swirl it around a bit. This is a chance to check if any aromas you noticed on the nose follow through as flavours on the palate. Now you can also assess the texture – is it thin like water, or thicker and oilier? You can check for tannins – dry, mouth-puckering flavours – and acidity. You can also check the length of the wine: how long its flavour lingers on the palate.

A List of the 100 Most-Common Aromas & Flavors in All Types of Wine.

“Wine Gathers all the Scents of Nature”

Don’t ask me who wrote this wine quote, I have just come up with it!

But if you look at the beautiful chart above, by Burgundy producer Bouchard Ainé & Filsaprico, and if you’ve ever heard a wine connoisseur talking about wine, you might be starting to be believe it is true.

Wine gathers aromas that are similar —if not identical— in their chemical composition to those found in pretty much any variety of fruit, but also nuts, herbs, spices, and even dairy products, bakes, mineral or animal sometimes!

Note: If you are more specifically interested in wine faults, I recommend you head over to our guide to the Top 6 Wine Faults: Their Causes & How to Identify them.

This is, for a large part, why many wine lovers, winos and amateurs think wine is one of the finest and most-interesting foods out there! —and yes, I am one of them. Yes too, wine IS food, and it’s a Frenchman talking! —.

Tasting and smelling a variety of different wine styles and grape varieties, one can be reminded of different ingredients, fruits or vegetables, grilled or roasted meats, cakes and jams, dishes like curry, and more. This is also part of the reason why wine pairs so well with food.

So, before we get to the list of the most common aromas found in wine (scroll a little further down if you’re after the Top 100 list), let’s have a quick look at how the aroma of wine is formed.

Watch the Top 60+ Aromas of Wine, Explained in Video:

How Can Wine Smell like Fruits… and other things?

In other words, where does wine get its aroma from?

In short, there are 3 types of aromas in wine, with 3 distinct origins:

1- Primary Aromas

This is the term used to describe the smells and flavors that come from the fruit itself, from the grapes (as opposed to the winemaking).

Different grape varieties (such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay) have intrinsically different aromas. If you were to taste the grape berries in a vineyard, you would find scents that would remind of other plants. Red grapes tend to exhibit aromas of red fruit such as berries, white grapes often display herbaceous tones, citrus, tropical or stonefruit characters.

Depending on the climate and the soil, whether it’s a cool climate or a warmer one, the primary aroma profile can vary greatly too.

Many producers try to preserve the integrity of primary aromas of their wine through careful winemaking techniques such as avoiding oxidation or using gravity. Yet fermentation brings additional layers of secondary flavors, as follows. 2- Secondary aromas

Those describe the smells acquired by the wine thanks to the winemaking process.

The natural flavors present in the grapes (primary aromas) combine and interact with the yeasts and bacteria that run the fermentation to create further aromatic complexity.

The alcoholic fermentation run by yeasts and transforming sugar into alcohol creates fruity aromatic compounds called esters bringing notes of pear, apricot, or peach.

The malolactic fermentation that follows, famously brings in notes of dairy products, cream, butter, and/or yogurt.

Furthermore, when a wine is fermented and/or aged in oak barrels, it acquires aromas of smoke, toast, vanilla, and sweet spices. 3- Tertiary aromas

They are developed in the bottle with age, as the wine’s molecules interact with each other and with oxygen, changing their aromatic profile.

Tertiary aromas are also called bouquet, or evolution bouquet because they are acquired slowly over time as the wine matures in bottle.

So, if you’ve been wondering:

“What is the difference between the aroma and the bouquet of a wine?”

This is your answer. The aroma of a wine is the entirety of its aromatic profile (everything it smells like), while the bouquet is the specific part of a wine’s smell that it developed after it was bottled.

The bouquet does originate neither from the grapes themselves, nor from the winemaking process, but from the natural chemical evolution of wine, from the interactions between molecules taking place in the bottle.

Typical tertiary aromas (or bouquet scents) are those of leather, truffle, some spices such as clove, nutmeg, or fennel, forest floor, wood ashes or grilled meats. Which are the Most Common Aromas in Wine?

The 100 Most-Common Aromas in Wine, Ordered Alphabetically:

Almond

The aroma of almond in wine is part of the nut/nutty family, that generally originates from the winemaking process wither the ageing on lees or from contact with oak. It is common in barrel fermented white wines such as Chardonnays, or Méthode Traditionnelle sparklings such as Champagne wine.

The almond aroma or flavor is also commonly described in wine as Marzipan. It is used in typical tasting notes for wines made from Marsanne from the Rhône valley in France (which is generally blended with Roussanne and Viognier).

Acacia

A sweet and delicate vegetal character, slightly floral at that.

If you’ve ever smelt the leaves of an acacia tree, you would have found a mellowed scent of honey combined with a hint of grassiness. The acacia aroma can also be experienced in acacia honey which has a particularly floral and slightly minty edge. Anise

Star anise or Pastis liqueur are common descriptors for aromatic white wines, especially those of the herbal and grassy type such as Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling.

Star anise aromas are also present in spicy oaked red wines, such as Primitivo in Southern Italy (e.g. Manduria) or its American cousin grape Zinfandel from California, as well as in Shirazes from Australia like the Barossa Valley. Apple (Red or Green)

An apple aroma is typically found in fruity white grape varieties such as Chenin Blanc, Pinot Gris, Grenache Blanc, Vermentino and many others. When the apple scent is perceived as mainly fruity, it is often described as ‘red apple’.

Green apple comes through in drier more mineral styles of white wines. It is also a character associated with wines in an oxidative style such as Fino sherries (e.g. Tio Pepe), some barrel aged whites and some oak-aged Blanc de Blancs Champagnes.

Apricot

A primary fruit character present in many white wines, especially those made from grapes that are rich in terpenes such as Muscats or Gewurztraminer.

White wines from warm climates often feature stonefruit characters such as apricot (and/or peach). You will very often find this descriptor associated with wines from the Rhone Valley based on the Viognier grape. Ashes (Wood Ashes)

The scent of ashes and/or wood ashes is associated with a mineral perception found in oak-aged and matured wines, particularly red wines. The smoky element provided by the ageing in barrel, when some red wine mature turns into a distinctive savory, slightly austere ashy edge.

A typical example is found with old Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines from the Médoc area of the Bordeaux region. Banana

A very common secondary aroma, banana comes from an ester molecule produced during the alcoholic fermentation called isoamyl acetate.

It is commonly found in young wines that are released soon after harvest and fermentation, such as Beaujolais Nouveau and other Primeur wines.

The same molecule produced by yeasts during fermentation, especially at low temperature also gives some banana aromas to some beers. Bergamot

Floral and slightly spicy citrus character, typical of some white grape varieties such as Muscats (Alexandria, Petit Grains, Bianco or Giallo) and other terpene-rich grapes (Gewurztraminer, Riesling).

For what it smells like, think of a bergamot tea or Earl Grey.

A similar aroma descriptor often-used is also Kumquat. Biscuit

The smell of biscuit in wine comes from the combination of a toasty character originating from a contact with oak, and the buttery element acquired through an ageing on lees (e.g. lees-stirring).

A biscuity profile can be typically found in oak-aged Chardonnays and sparkling wines such as Prestige Cuvée Champagnes. Blackberry

Blackberry is a typical aroma of ripe and rich red wines produced in warm climates.

It comes through fruity red wines made from dark sweet red grapes from many different grape varieties, Syrah, Zinfandel, Grenache, Argentina Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and many more.

Blackcurrant (Cassis or Blackcurrant Bud)

Much like blackberry (just above), the aroma of Blackcurrant is found in many rich red wines from around the world.

Blackcurrant however, is a very distinctive trait associated with the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. Try a Chilean Cabernet for an examplified version. I have also found that the wines from the Faugères AOP have a particularly pungent smell of cassis.

Cassis bud is an aroma both fruity and grassy given by molecules called methoxy-pyrazines (see also the capsicum entry) typical of both Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Blueberry

A delicate and fragrant red berry aroma, found in many red wines and especially cool climate ones (e.g. Pinot Noir, Gamay, Barbera).

As described above (blackberry and blackcurrant), reds from warmer climates tend to exhibit berry notes of darker and riper berries than the acidic fresh blueberry.

You will also typically find notes of blueberry in rosé wines, and you may also identify it in some white wines made from red grapes (Blanc de Noirs). Brioche

The aroma of fresh brioche is aquired by wine during and after fermentation, particularly during the ageing on lees of white wines in barrel or in tank.

The breakdown of yeast cells after fermentation —a process scientifically called autolysis— liberates a combination of buttery and yeasty notes (the famous French Brioche bun is essentially a buttery yeast bread), especially when in contact with oak whose nutty and caramely tones amplify it.

Brioche is very common and typical of oak-aged Chardonnay wines, but also in sparkling wines made using the Traditional Method such as French Crémants (e.g. Crémants de Bordeaux, Crémants de Bourgogne, or Crémants d’Alsace) and oak-rich Champagne. Related Read You Might Enjoy As Well:

But let’s go on with our list of the 100 most-common wine aromas: Broom

Like boxwood, broom is a plant with a vegetal/herbal character typical of the expression of Sauvignon Blanc especially in Bordeaux and New Zealand. Butter

Candied Fruit

A descriptor found and used in ripe wines made from richly sweet grapes in warmer climates like some dessert wines, Australian Shiraz, California Zinfandel.

This descriptor is particularly versatile, as virtually any fruit can be candied (berries, tropical fruits, stonefruit). It can therefore be used for a variety of aromas whenever a wine smells both fruity and particularly sweet and almost caramelized. Capsicum (a.k.a. bell pepper, red or green)

Capsicum or bell pepper aroma originates from a family of herbaceous compounds common among the vegetal world called pyrazines (also found in tomatoes or potatoes to name just a few vegetables that contain them).

A form of pyrazine (methoxypyrazine is its name) is found on the skins of grapes before they reach full maturity, Pyrazines are therefore often considered a marker of ripeness of grapes, especially red grapes and winemakers try to let grapes ripen until the level of pyrazines has reached an undetectable level (especially on Merlot which can contain high levels of green capsicum character on unapropriate terroir).

However, bell pepper notes form a typical and expected part of the aromatic profile of certain grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon. They also play an important role in the typical grassy notes we enjoy in crisp white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc.

Capsicum aroma come either as the clearly-vegetal feature given by notes of green capsicum, or the fruitier and less distinctive red capsicum.

Caramel

Caramel aroma is most-often found in wines marked by the toasty character of oak. You will hear in tasting notes references to blond caramel —as in lightly colored and mild caramel— or its opposite version: smoky/nearly-burnt caramel.

But the most typical component in the aroma of the Merlot grape, called furaneol, also has a distinctive smell of caramel at high concentration when the grape are very ripe (the molecule smells like ripe cherry otherwise). Cardamom

The aromatic seeds of cardamom, an exotic spice from a plant member of the ginger family, have been used as a condiment to spice up dishes in many Middle Eastern countries as well as in India, and in the preparation of medicines or perfumes all around the world.

Cardamom gives a relatively sweet but very pungent spicy aroma, limey and floral as well as slightly green and vegetal. In wine, the cardamom odour comes from the combination of a greenness character coming from the grapes, and the spiciness originating from both the ageing in barrel and the wine’s bouquet.

Look out for it in relatively cool climate reds that have been in contact with oak: Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Barbera, some Syrah and Tempranillo.

Cedar Wood

Cedarwood is a rather specific (some would say esoteric!) example of the more general class of woody odours. But is very often quoted as a characteristic aroma of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, along with blackcurrant, spices and tomato leaf.

Cedarwood trees traditionally came from the Mediterranean region and the Cedar is the iconic emblem of Lebanon. It has a characteristic resin scent that was appreciated as an insect repellent, and its essential oil has been used in perfumery for many centuries. Some red wines including Pinot Noirs and Nebbiolos also feature the aroma of cedar which is amplified by a maturation in oak. Chalk

Cherry (Dark Cherry, Morello, Griotte)

Chili Pepper

Chocolate (Cocoa)

A noticeable and important component of wines aged in oak barrels.

Often combined with vanilla, caramel, or coffee, chocolate or cocoa are part of the torrefaction smells family. They add a sense of sweetness, darkness and depth to wines.

The term chocolate would be used for wines that are more sweet-smelling/tasting, while dark chocolate or cocoa generally describe more profound, savorer, and more bitter wines.

While we’re only talking about natural wine flavors here, it is interesting to note that some wines are infused with chocolate flavors.

Other naturally feature such intense chocolate notes that they use it in their wine names and marketing like South Africa’s Darlings Cellars Chocoholic Pinotage.

Clove

Eugenol is a molecule found in toasted oak —and therefore in oak barrels— and that is also the main aroma compound found in cloves.

This secondary character is therefore infused into the wine during the barrel maturation but is only perceived strongly when combined with the primary notes of certain grape varieties, such as Pinot Noir or Merlot. Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a pungent sweet spice, generally found in oak-aged wines, especially old rich aged wines such as Portuguese Ports, Banyuls, or Maury.

You may also occasionally find it in other ripe high-alcohol reds. Coconut (Bourbon Whiskey)

Aroma of coconut are infused in wine through ageing in American oak barrels.

The White Oak species (Quercus Alba) originating from Northern America is indeed much richer in a compound called whisky lactone than European oak tress (those generally called French oak such as Quercus robur and Quercus petrae), giving wines and many spirits an aroma/flavor of coconut.

American Bourbon Whiskey is also aged in American oak casks which is why it exhibits these powerful coconut scents you may also find in California wines or those from Rioja. Coffee

Coffee is an aroma of torrefaction generally associated with the contact of wine with oak (ageing in oak barrel or in oak vat).

Heavily-toasted oak, American oak in particular, imparts dark toasted scents such as coffee, caramel, or dark cocoa.

Eucalyptus (gumtree)

Lifted aromas similar to those of mint, with a distinctive edge reminding of the typical Australian bush’s gumtrees.

Those are found in wines outside of Australia too, such as in some California Zinfandels, but you will also typically find them in Aussie wines made form vineyards that are, more often than not, surrounded by Eucalyptus trees. Fern

Earthy and slightly vegetal character, found in aged wines, particularly reds. See the ‘forest floor entry’ below. Fennel

An aromatic component in between spicy and vegetal character. The scent is close to the one described as star anise, but with a fresher, mintier and more lifted grassy edge.

Fennel is indeed a bulbous vegetable with a fresh slightly bitter taste, also commonly found all around the Mediterranean Sea in Southern Europe and Northern Africa and the Middle East.

Fennel is found in dry and slightly grassy white wines such as those made from Verdejo in Spain (Rueda), the Rolle-based (Vermentino) wines of Provence and Italy and some Chardonnay-based Champagnes.

In reds, fennel may come through the aromatic profile in Sicilian Etna Rosso wines, (Nerello Mascalese), some Nebbiolos (Barbaresco and Barolo), Rhone Syrah, or Gamay Beaujolais. Fig

Being a rich and ripe fruit, fig most often comes in wines from warmer climates made from generously ripe fruits, in both reds and whites.

‘Fresh fig’ is the descriptor used when the aroma remains fresh and fruity. While ‘dried fig’ comes through in many rich and sweet dessert wines, such as Sauternes wines, Ports, Pedro Ximenez Sherry, or Fortified Muscats. Flint (Silex)

A mineral character found in dry styles of wines.

The aroma comes through more obviously in white wines but can be perceived in dry reds as well. It is commonly associated stwith wines from grapes grown on pour limestone or stony soils such as the Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre or Pouilly.

Flint can also be associated with a light reduction in wines that have been vinified with very little contact with oxygen. While a hint of flinty reduction can be appreciated in wine for providing a sense of minerality, if the reductive character is too pronounced, edging on cabbage or garlic, it is considered a fault.

For the background, Silex is form of ground stone, a nearly pure form of silica or silicate, also called flint.

Forrest Floor (Undergrowth)

If you taste with French people any aged wine, you will always hear them talk about a ‘sous-bois’ character, which translates into forest floor.

Common related descriptors in English include mushroom, earth, humus, or earthy. These aromatic characters are found in aged wines that have developed a bouquet with evolution in bottle.

Earthy aromas may also be related to the presence of a molecule called Geosmin on the grapes during harvest, if the bunches were affected by the Botrytis fungus. It was a common fault in Sauternes wines. But modern winemakers are particularly cautious and are now effective at avoiding it. Fur

An animal character acquired by wines through ageing in bottle, part of the bouquet. Imagine the smell of a furry animal such as a bear (don’t get too close of one to find out what they smell like) or a goat.

It could be a negative attribute as a dominant note and even be qualified as a fault in wine, but as part of a complex evolution bouquet, the fur aroma can add depth. Grapefruit

Grapefruit is obviously part of the citrus primary fruit characters.

Its aroma is very typically found in Sauvignon Blanc wines such as those of Bordeaux wines, Chile or New Zealand. As far as white wines, you will also commonly find a grapefruit character in Riesling.

Many dry rosé wines, those that are not overly sweet and fruity like in Provence, France, openly exhibit this character too.

Cool climate Pinot Noirs (Burgundy, Germany, New Zealand, Russian River and Carneros, or Champagne Blanc de Noirs) sometimes feature notes of pink grapefruit.

Fun Fact: I would argue that the aroma of grapefruit is in fact, and generally speaking, a very welcome and pleasant companion to wine, hence its common use for making sangria, and its success as an additive for making rosé-flavored wines (called rosé pamplemousse in French, hugely popular in France). Grass

As in freshly-cut grass. This character can remind of a spring meadow and appear quite floral. Or, it literally can smell like a lawnmower after the job. Tomato leaf is a related aroma.

They are both common in some crisp and acidic white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc or Portugal’s vinho verde. Gooseberry

Vegetal and herbal character typically found in Sauvignon Blanc, particularly those of the grassy type like in Marlborough, New Zealand. Hay

Hawthorn

Hazelnut

Honey (Mead)

Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle is a delicate floral aroma similar to the scent of jasmine, but one giving a sense of both sweetness and a hint of grassiness to wines. Because it is a discrete scent, it is only detectable in white wines that are not too aromatic to which it adds a floral finesse.

I have found honeysuckle featured in Chardonnay-based wines, as well as in subtly-flavored dry rosés, but you will find it many styles of restrained white wine grapes such as Torrontes, Grillo, Roussanne, Sylvaner, or Glera (Prosecco bubblies). Iodine

Iodine is a natural chemical element (atomic number 53) especially present in sea water, and in sea salt as far as our nutrition is concerned. Most of the world’s iodine is found in the ocean, where it is concentrated by sea life, especially seaweed.

This is why the term iodine is often used to describe a wine somewhat reminding the smell of a sea breeze or a coastal mist, or the mineral slightly-fishy odor of sea water.

Many would say that the minerality provided by an iodine aroma comes from the terroir vines are grown on rather than the type of grapes.

Limestone, slate, volcanic or flinty soils, as well as environmentally-friendly viticultural practices aimed at expressing the genuine terroir are generally considered to provide such mineral character.

Many would argue that iodine tones are more often found in wines that are organic, made from biodynamically-grown grapes, or from coastal vineyards. Iris

Jam

Juniper

In the wine descriptors vocabulary, the juniper note is classified as a botanical and/or herbal character (like thyme, rosemary, lemongrass, sage or basil).

The aroma come from a natural greenness and spiciness originating from the grapes themselves in wines that are not overly ripe and opulent. The scent can be amplified by the spiciness provided by an ageing in oak.

You will typically find juniper in Syrah wines such as those of Northern Rhone, Sonoma County or New Zealand’s Hawkes Bay. Some Nebbiolo wines from Piedmont, Italy may feature it, as well Portugal’s Douro Valley reds.

Kerosene (Petrol)

A scent of ‘gasoline’ in wine is commonly associated and considered a typical characteristic of the Riesling grape variety.

It is more commonly experienced from Riesling wines grown in cool climate on pour rocky terroirs, such as some found in Germany, Alsace, France, or New Zealand, rather than in warmer ones, say Australia, California or Chile.

An aroma of petrol in a wine may sound terrible! And it can be if the note is too dominant, especially in aged Rieslings. But as a discrete component to a wider palette of aromas, and in combination with the other typical scents of Riesling (lime, apple, honeysuckle), a touch of gasoline can add a positive mineral element to a wine.

The term Kerosene is often used to describe this peculiar family of aroma, because the odor of petrol in wine is generally not the heavy and sticky asphalt one, but rather a refined and purified lighter version as is aviation fuel.

Notably, renowned Rhone wine producer, Michel Chapoutier said that “Riesling should never smell of petrol. That is a result of a mistake during winemaking” and that “the petrol characteristic, which is often prized amongst Riesling aficionados, is a result of decomposition of the veins within the grape. These veins become more fragile as the grape matures.” (Source: Decanter.com)

Apart from Riesling, you may find an aroma of petrol/kerosene in white wines made from Pinot Gris, Sylvaner, Verdejo, or Vermentino (Rolle). Kirsch Liqueur

Kiwi Fruit

Part of the tropical fruit family, the Kiwi fruit has both an upfront fruity character and a grassy edge. Most common in dry and crisp white wines such as Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and Albarinho. Lily

Lime

Aromas of lime, like those of lemon, are commonly found in many wines, especially whites.

They are often associated with many styles such as Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Prosecco, or Champagne.

You may occasionally find them in red and rosé wines, particularly those made from cool climate Pinot Noir.

The scent of lime is greener and less fruity than the aroma of lemon, and is often found in crispier and grassier wines. Liquorice

Leather

An aroma of leather is found in red wines that have been aged in oak barrel, and is amplified overtime as the wine ages in bottles.

Leather is a secondary and/or a tertiary aroma, in the sense that it comes from the combination of the oak influence during the winemaking process, and the ageing of the wine and the development of its bouquet. I don’t think any grape variety as natural notes of leather as a primary aroma.

Typically, you will found notes of leather in aged reds made from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon (like and old Bordeaux wine or one from Napa Valley), or Pinot Noir, although most aged red wines could develop such profile. Lemon: lemon liqueur (limoncello)

Linden Tea

A subtle and delicate floral and slightly vegetal aroma, most commonly found in gently flavored white wines such as Soave (Garganega), Roussanne, or Vermentino. Lychee

Lychee (also spelled “litchi”) is a tropical fruit native to southern China.

The aroma of litchi reminds somewhat of a fresh and fragrant grape, think of a white grape juice with mild blond sweet flavors and a floral touch like a rose would smell.

Lychees are rich in compounds called terpenes, which are also found in many flowers as well as in aromatic grapes such as Gewürztramialner and Muscats. The fermentation augments the pungency of these primary fruit characters thanks to the yeasts hydrolyzing some of the terpenes in the grape juice and making them available to our senses.

Many white dessert wines such as Sauternes, white port and all the fortified Muscat wines (Rivesaltes or Lunel in France, Pantelleria in Italy, Rutherglen in Australia) have scents of litchi. Mandarine

Mango

Melon

Meringue

Mineral

Mineral is an elusive term that’s been the subject of many discussions and controversies over the past decade or so, since many wine connoisseurs are looking for wines that are more authentic and expressing genuine terroir characteristics therefore somewhat revealing more the soil they were grown on.

Mineral might be more of a flavor or an overall sensation provided by certain wines, a combination of acidity, saltiness, savoriness and grip from the phenolics rather than an actual ‘aroma’.

I’ll refer you to top experts disserting on the subject, such as the brilliant article by Jancis Robinson MW: The elusive M-word and What do we mean by minerality?a Mint

You know what mint smells like right?

Some would call it peppermint if that helps.

But you may be wondering is which wines smell like mint?

The answer is that many (relatively) do, but mint is always a subtle lifted spicy sensation going on in the background of the aromatic profile. No wine pungently smells like mint!

Examples of wines that tend to be minty include California Zinfandel, some aged Cabernet Sauvignon (like in Bordeaux’ aged claret or Napa Valley’s Meritage and Malbec), Australian reds, or Carricante.

Nutmeg

Moss

Oak

Oak is a generic term used to describe a family of aromas provided by the contact of the wine with oak barrels or oak alternatives (staves and chips) during the winemaking process.

Many of the aromas/flavors infused into a wine from oak are listed in separate entries on this page, such as vanilla, clove, caramel, coffee, sandalwood, pepper, toast, tobacco, hazelnut, or coconut.

Here are a couple examples of tasting notes for wines that are very oaky: Fiegl Leopold Merlot (red) and Alejandro Fernandez Alejairén (white). Olive (black or green)

Orange

Passion Fruit

Part of the tropical fruit family of aromas, passion fruit is a primary character mainly found in ripe white grape varieties.

It is very typical and pungently smelt in Sauvignon Blanc wines, particularly from New Zealand, but can also be detected as a component of Chardonnay or Riesling. Peach

Pear

Peony

Pepper (black, white, or green)

Pine (pine needles or pine resin)

Pineapple

Plum

Pomegranate

Prune

Quince

Raisin (dried grapes, sultanas)

Raspberry

Redcurrant

Rose petal

Sandalwood

Scrubland (Garrigue)

Smoke

Smoke/Smoky aroma is generally caused by the wine being in contact with oak during the maturation barrel (secondary aroma). Occasionally, it may be considered coming from the grapes themselves when grown on dark volcanic soils such as the Sicilian wines grown on the Etna volcano. Spices (mixed)

Strawberry

Sweets (Lollies)

Tar

Toasted Bread (Toast)

Tobacco

Truffle

Vanilla

Violet

Walnut

Wax (Beeswax)

Much like walnut, wax is an aromatic trait acquired and particularly present in aged white wines.

If you notice a waxy character in a relatively young white, it may have been affected by premature oxidation. But it is a common component of the bouquet of evolved white wines or of any wine submitted to oxidation over time (Sherry, an aged Hunter Valley Riesling, old Burgundy Chardonnay, etc.).

The term beeswax indicates a more floral, and arguably more enjoyable waxy aroma in a wine that can blend in harmoniously in the complex nutty and spicy profile of a mature white wine or an aged Champagne.

9 Foods and Drinks to Avoid For Diabetics – Part 1

×

1. Sugary Foods Sweets, desserts, soda and other foods that are made primarily of processed sugar are considered low-quality carbohydrates. Not only are these foods lacking in nutritional value, they can also cause a sharp spike in your blood sugar and lead to weight problems, both of which exacerbate diabetes complications. Instead of satisfying your sweet tooth with cookies, candy, cake, or soda, reach for delicious fruits, such as apples, berries, pears, or oranges. These high-quality carbohydrates contain plenty of fiber to help slow down the absorption of glucose, so they’re a far better choice for blood-sugar control.

2. Fruit Juice While fiber-rich whole fruits are considered healthy carbohydrates for people with diabetes, fruit juice is another story. People with diabetes should avoid drinking juice, even 100 percent fruit juice. Fruit juice contains more nutrition than soda and other sugary drinks, but the problem is that juices have concentrated amounts of fruit sugar and therefore cause your blood sugar to shoot up. Sipping fruit juice doesn’t fill you up the same way that eating a piece of fruit does, because juice doesn’t have the same fiber that’s found in whole fruit. If you want a refreshing drink, go for zero-calorie plain or naturally flavored seltzer with a spritz of lemon or lime.

3. White Rice, Bread, and Flour Big offenders on the low-quality carb list are refined starches, like white rice and anything made with white flour, including white bread and pasta. These “white” carbs act a lot like sugar once your body begins to digest them, which means they will increase your glucose levels. Replace white carbs with whole grains, such as brown or wild rice, barley, oatmeal, high-fiber cereals, and whole-grain breads, for carbs that break down more slowly and have a less dramatic effect on blood sugar.

4. Dried Fruit Although dried fruit contains fiber and many nutrients, the dehydration process removes the water, so it’s easier to eat more – think about how many more raisins than grapes you can eat. While snacking on raisins or dried apricots is better for you than eating a cookie, it’ll still send your blood sugar soaring. Skip the dried fruit and instead stick with low-glycemic fresh fruit options, such as grapefruit, cantaloupe, strawberries, and peaches.

5. Full-Fat Dairy You’ve probably heard that the saturated fats in dairy products can raise your LDL cholesterol levels and increase your risk of heart disease. But saturated fats may cause yet another serious problem for people with diabetes. Do your best to avoid full-fat dairy products made with whole milk, such as cream, full-fat yogurt, ice cream, cream cheese, and other full-fat cheeses. Look for reduced-fat or fat-free dairy products instead.

A Summer Guide to the Farmer’s Market

Living in the Midwest, we don’t have the luxury of a year-round Farmer’s Market, so the experience this time of year is a fabulous one.  I count the days until they open each year and dread the moment I know they’ll pack up to avoid the colder weather.

Just walking through manages to hit all of my senses – the vibrant colors, the fresh sweet aroma of summer fruits -the FINALLY warm weather – it is such a luxury.  Never mind that the local Farmer’s Market somehow manages to charge close to half what I experience in the grocery store.

It is AMAZING.

I’m certain you have your favorites, but I thought I’d share some you most certainly shouldn’t miss and the best way to know you are getting the very freshest produce.

Peaches – for this fruit, I rely heavily on my nose.  I can typically smell this fruit as soon as I walk up.  I look for peaches that are mainly red and gold. When you bring them home, don’t put them in the fridge as they will lose their flavor.  Instead leave them out at room temperature to allow them to ripen.

Tomatoes – there are so many varieties available this time of year….everything from tiny cherry tomatoes to the more traditional heirloom. Use your nose here too.  Look for tomatoes with a strong garden aroma and bright colors.  When you hold them, they should feel like the perfect balance between hard and soft.

Corn – growing up, corn on the cob was a staple in our home.  My dad LOVES it.  And I make an amazing batch – I swear 🙂 Corn is freshest closest to the time it is picked. Look for corn that has bright green husks – preferably ones that are closed tightly. Do peel back the husk to confirm its freshness.

Zucchini – this is a new love for me – probably since I now know how delicious it is fresh from the grill (slice, mix with olive oil and your favorite seasoning, wrap in foil, grill until soft, sprinkle with feta cheese – YOU ARE WELCOME!). The biggest thing to look for is a semi-firm skin free of tears or bruising.  Both will cause your zucchini (or squash) to go bad more quickly.

Grapes – good news! Grapes best time of year is the end of summer and early fall – this is when the harvesting is most frequent.  Look for firm grapes without many that have fallen from the vine. This goes for both green and purple grapes – I love both.

And more than anything – enjoy! I could go on and on. This list could easily triple in length. (Mango, Avocados, Pineapple, oh my!) As I previously mentioned, this is my favorite time of year to be looking for fruits and vegetables and seeking new options to try that aren’t a traditional part of my weekly grocery list – what about figs, apricots, watermelon, blackberries and raspberries?

What is your favorite fruit or vegetable this time of year? I’m always open to trying something new.
