It is considered a malicious weed, in sparse crops it often develops very violently. One plant of the gulyavnika forms 700-750 thousand seeds, which contain 25-30% odorless yellow fatty oil with a sharp bitter aftertaste.

From one plant, 10-15 fleshy roots up to 20 cm long are obtained, which in Western Europe are considered exquisite vegetables on a par with asparagus. Marshmallow inflorescences contain a fragrant essential oil that is used in perfumery.

In the Caucasus, young leaves with olive oil, wine vinegar, hard-boiled eggs mixed with sorrel leaves and chopped green onions are used to make salads. The washed roots are boiled in salt water, rolled in flour, and even better in breadcrumbs, and cooked like asparagus.

In Russia in 1930, attempts were made to use the thickets of the wild walker for industrial purposes. 4000 centners of seeds were even collected, the yield of oil from which was 21%.

When crushed, the fresh leaves give off a strong aroma. The taste of the leaves is somewhat cool, sharp, rather pleasant. Dry leaves do not smell. Used to improve the taste of fresh salads. The leaves are often boiled in vinegar to flavor fatty meats. An infusion of fresh leaves is considered the best antiscorbutic.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>
