Stone berry. reference Information

Kostyanika (stony bone, stony raspberry)

If you want to find a bone - go to the aspen forest.

It also grows in other forests, but in aspen forests there is a real bone kingdom.

Bone leaves are collected like an accordion. Long, long "whiskers" are scattered on the sides, like those of strawberries. With the help of the "whiskers" the skeleton quickly moves to new places.

Kostyanika is "rocky raspberry". So it was called by botanists for the fact that it quickly settles in stony placers. It is popularly called kostyanika for the large bones in the berries. Because of the seeds, eating berries is inconvenient.

But for birds, these bones replace the pebbles that they swallow, so that they, like millstones, grind food in the stomach. Bone berries, although small, grow several at a time.

People also collect bones. Bone is a medicinal plant. And the most interesting: jelly is cooked from it without starch. It hardens by itself, it turns out a good transparent jelly.

Stone berry. The value of the plant, the procurement of raw materials, the use in traditional medicine and cooking

Kostyanika (stony bone, stony raspberry)

Shady forest, with its coolness and aromas, who doesn’t like it in July! You will enter this kingdom of birches, oaks, maples, aspens - and you become as if enchanted. Forest diva at every turn! Judge for yourself, went for mushrooms, and scored berries - large, red, with seeds inside. Boneberry, like mushrooms, is a child of the shade, grows under the canopy of broad-leaved trees. Therefore, it is not surprising for a mushroom picker to become a berry picker - what more was found, so he stocked up.

And there is a dense thickets of stone groves - up to 20 or more bushes per square meter. There were cases when up to 68 bushes were found on such an area. Isn't this Berendey's berry? Generous fabulous. A small wild garden bed will give a kilogram of berries. They taste with a pleasant, refreshing sourness, like a pomegranate. And in each berry is hidden a large bone. When ground, the seeds are also edible - they are used as a seasoning for second courses (the same is done with pomegranate seeds). The fruit of the stone fruit consists of several flattened berries-stones, usually there are no more than six of them. These drupes barely touch one another, and when you pick a pinch of berries, they roll like peas in the palm of your hand, each separately.

Kostyanik is a perennial herb from the rose family. Fruiting stems are low, straight, covered with scaly leaves from below, and from about half of the stem - real, trifoliate, on long petioles. These leaves are green and hairy on both sides. The stems end with an apical white inflorescence in the form of a brush or an umbrella, which then gives prefabricated drupes. Barren shoots are annual, thin, prostrate, they grow quickly, reaching a decent length. These shoots branch in autumn and often take root at the top.

Bone tree blooms at the very beginning of June, the flowers are bisexual, small, bees like to look into them. The berries ripen in mid-summer. Collect them carefully and only in solid containers. In all sorts of packages, bags and bags, the tender berry becomes limp, deteriorates. Gathering a bony fruit is quick and fun, you take not one fruit from a bush, but a full pinch. “The mature bone berry blushes in bunches,” S. T. Aksakov once remarked in Notes of a Rifle Hunter. Indeed, the bones are heapy, just don't be lazy to look.

Bone will be found not only in shady forests, but also on rocky slopes, and in the mountains - on the cliffs. In the Arctic, it comes across in swamps. And although the stone fruit is inferior in taste to some berries - because of this it is neglected in some places - it still has zealots. Bone is not harvested either in places where other wild berries abound, for example, in the forest gardens of the Caucasus, or out of ignorance. But whoever bowed to this grass and picked up at least once a basket of soft ruby ​​​​berries will undoubtedly appreciate the stone, become addicted to hunting for the northern pomegranate.

Kvass, fruit drink, syrup, jelly and, of course, excellent jam are prepared from the berries of the wild forest. You can dry the berries for future use, and sugar them fresh, because sugar perfectly preserves sour fruits. A freshly plucked bone berry is pleasant to eat and just like that, from a bush.

For lovers of blanks, there are simple recipes for processing bone berries. Anyone who wishes to have the juice of this berry should clean the collected bone from weed impurities, rinse in cold water, then grind in a bowl. Put in glass jars, leave the crushed berry for two days. After this time, the bone juice is filtered without squeezing the berries, bottled and stored like ordinary berry juice.

Very tasty bone jelly. To prepare it, the berries are sorted out, washed, poured with water, then put on fire and boiled until they burst. The juice is decanted, flavored with granulated sugar (in equal weight ratios), then it is boiled until tender. Compote and bone berry jam are prepared in the same way as it is made from lingonberries or blueberries. In the old days, bone jam was at a premium.

Bone berries, due to saturation with vitamins, organic acids, minerals and other substances, have healing properties. Traditional medicine used them for anemia, colds and inflammation of the joints. Northern pomegranate is also useful for children who love sour fruits. In summer, not a single berry trip with schoolchildren should be complete without getting to know the bone. Moreover, it is not at all difficult to find it - it grows not only in the forest, but also in bushes, and along the slopes of ravines, where it is usually carried by birds. It is interesting that the birds, pecking this berry, digest one pulp of the fruit without breaking the bones.

And the bone of the plant is large, because of it the name was given - the stone bone. They also called it stone raspberry, stone; tasty, but firm. In scientific use, the common stone stone received the specific litter "stony" so as not to be mixed with other stone bones.

After the stony, the most famous type of bone berry is the arctic berry, or, in other words, the princess, raspberry, mamura. The princess "enters" far to the north, up to the tundra zone, settling in swamps, damp meadows and light forests. Its berries are dark red, fragrant, tasty. The fruitlets are interconnected and do not easily separate. Inside each fruit is a smooth bone. The stems of the arctic bramble are creeping, from 5 to 20 centimeters high, equipped with a small number of compound leaves. Mamura fruits are good for jams and liqueurs.

For its excellent taste and aroma, it fell into the category of promising berry plants introduced into the culture. Such attempts have already been made by breeders, and it is to be hoped that plantations of arctic stone berries will soon appear under regulated swamp conditions. Pechora, Dvina, Upper Volga - this is where the fields of fruit-bearing mamura should be spread. By the way, in those places grows a variety of arctic bony trees, devoid of creeping shoots. Its flowers are large, the fruits are well developed. It is believed that this hybrid form originated from the crossing of the arctic and stony bone.

It is very similar to mamura star-shaped drupe, with large purple petals (in mamura they are dark pink, in stony drupe they are white). It grows in the tundra on hills and slopes. In Siberia and the Far East, one more species of this berry plant comes across - hop-leaved stone fruit. It settles in sphagnum swamps, in coniferous forests and among shrubs. The flowers of the hop-leaved drupe are also apical, mostly solitary, drooping. The leaves are triangular, like those of hops: hence the specific name. Even by fruits, it is easy to distinguish this stone from its closest relatives - not a smooth, but a reticulate-wrinkled bone is hidden inside the fruit.

By the way, the northern pomegranate can be quite planted in shady corners of the garden and in oak forests, where forest herbs coexist well - lily of the valley, minik, crow's eye, two-leafed lyubka, hoof, sour and wintergreen. They all love diffused light. Bone plant spreads rapidly vegetatively, with the help of mustache shoots. They grow exceptionally fast. Kostyanik is a living barometer. In dry weather, its leaves roll up into a tube. By the change of weather, before the rain, they begin to straighten out, smoothing their fluffy plates. Check out this humble berryberry feature.

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, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

dog and smartphone 18.06.2015

Some people are so attached to their pets that they cannot part with them even at work or on a trip. And it's not about taking your favorite animal with you, but about "communicating" with it using various devices capable of broadcasting video. Here the owners will be disappointed: their beloved pet does not react to the image and seems puzzled and worried

According to Nicholas Dodman, a behavioral veterinarian at Tufts University (USA, Massachusetts) and chief scientist at DogTV, an American channel for dogs, dogs recognize their owner on the TV screen, but for them the whole picture looks very strange and misleading, because the owner himself is not in the room.

"Smartphone and tablet screens can actually cause anxiety in dogs, as small and compressed images make it difficult for dogs to realize whether the owner is real or not," says Ron Levy, chief content manager at DogTV. Levy also points out that "it all depends on the dog" and cites the iCPooch device as an example, which can often be ignored, despite the fact that it allows the dog to see the owner, and the owner to remotely treat him; while some dogs react normally to such communication and even "respond" to the owner.

Moreover, some individuals prefer hearing and smell to sight. They care about the tone of voice of the owner and his smell. Dogs have about 220 million olfactory receptors, so they cannot perceive the host on the screen, because he does not have a smell.

Recent studies have shown that dogs improve mental alertness when interacted with on a positive note. If the owner is worried about the condition of the dog in his absence, and the pet cannot communicate with him via video link due to the above reasons, then it is necessary to part with the pet with restraint, speaking in a quiet and calm tone. This will reduce his level of anxiety and anxiety regarding the departure of the owner. In any case, if the dog is calm, then in the absence of the owner, he will sleep. That is why they are so happy and cheerful when the owners return home.
