What is garlic called in China?

In China, garlic is called dragon's teeth - in connection with its miraculous properties, which from ancient times saved people from various ailments.

Garlic belongs to a special group of vegetables with a specific pungent smell and taste. It is rich in carbohydrates (10,5-21,1 percent), proteins (36,7 percent), mineral salts and vitamins. The content of essential oils reaches 150 milligrams per 100 grams of garlic (150 mg%). Of the vitamins, there is especially a lot of ascorbic acid in it - 70 mg%, and in green leaves - up to 150 mg%. There are in garlic and salts of potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, molybdenum, manganese, copper, phosphorus, sulfur, arsenic, iodine.

Scientists have discovered about 100 sulfur-containing components of garlic, which have particularly valuable properties. Garlic is also rich in microelements such as germanium and selenium, which have antitumor activity. Allixin is prepared from garlic (an anti-stress drug with a sedative effect like valerian), allochol (a drug for treating the liver), alisat, allicor, carinade (drugs used to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases).

Garlic chemicals help lower high blood pressure and blood sugar, treat asthma and bronchitis, improve blood circulation and heart function, help the body fight dangerous toxins and rejuvenate. Garlic contains the aspirin-like substances allicin and adonizite, which can thin the blood and prevent blood clots. In garlic, a substance was also found that prevents the increase in platelets in the blood and does not collapse when boiled.

Due to its high culinary merits, garlic is considered the king of all seasonings - it is preserved, used in pickles, sauces, salads, garlic butter and even marmalade are prepared from it. The Spaniards claim that garlic seasoning can be used in all dishes, except for Easter cake and ice cream. According to medical standards, a person needs to consume 500 grams of garlic per year.

To eliminate an unpleasant odor, you can chew a leaf of parsley, celery, a slice of lemon, a coffee bean, or drink a nettle decoction.

Which Olympic team was forced to sell coffee to raise funds for the Games?

In 1932, due to the Great Depression, the Brazilian government was unable to find money to send athletes to the Los Angeles Olympics. The solution was to put a delegation of 82 athletes on a ship with coffee and force them to sell it on their way to America. Upon arrival at the port of San Pedro, the athletes were faced with the requirement of his administration to pay a dollar for each disembarked. Since there was not enough money for everyone, only those who had a chance for a medal were released from the ship. Then the ship sailed to San Francisco, sold more coffee there, returned and landed some more athletes, but 15 Brazilian Olympians never made it to Los Angeles.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Edible adhesive tape 01.06.2022

A group of Johns Hopkins University students have developed what may be the world's first edible duct tape that will keep a burrito or shawarma from falling apart all the time.

Edible "gluer" was called "Tastee Tape". It consists of a "food grade fibrous scaffold and an organic adhesive" that ensures that the ingredients in the burrito don't fall out during cooking or while eating.

Tastee Tape can be used on any type of food, including tortillas, tacos and gyros.

Students are currently applying for a patent, so they cannot disclose the full composition of the duct tape. However, they note that "all the ingredients are safe to consume, the tape consists of foodstuffs and conventional nutritional and dietary supplements."

The product is supplied in pre-cut XNUMXcm strips attached to sheets of waxed paper. In order for it to become sticky, it is enough to put water on it.

Potentially edible glue can be used not only for rolls and burritos: for example, it can glue a cake or fix any culinary mistakes.
