It is known that the aerial part of the plant contains essential oil.

The aerial part of the plant with a spicy taste and aroma is proposed as a component in the creation of marinades as a prototype of black pepper. For pickling apples, the composition was successful, including garden savory, eugenol basil and monarda. Above-ground mass is used for canning vegetables in the period from budding to flowering.

Monarda. Interesting plant facts

Monarda fissile

If you are thinking of a flower garden with medicinal herbs or an apothecary's garden, we advise you to plant a monarda there. This plant is not very common among gardeners, which is a big omission, because the monarda is both a benefit and a bright beauty. Monarda's homeland is North America and Mexico, from where the plant was brought to Spain after the discovery of a new continent by Columbus.

Bee balm, American lemon balm, Indian feather, lemon balm, Oswego tea are all different names for the same plant, named after the Spanish physician Nicola Monardes. Interestingly, Monardes himself did not leave his native Seville, which at that time was the center of American-Spanish trade, but founded a botanical garden there, in which he grew and studied exotic plants brought from the American continent. And in 1569 he published notes "Glad News from the New World" and "Medical History of Western India", where he described new plants and their medicinal properties.

Many more years passed before the monarda came to the rest of Europe and gained popularity there - in the 17th century it began to be grown as a garden plant with very showy flowers. In 1753, Carl Linnaeus included the plant in his classification of species - "Plant Species", and the genus got its name in honor of Dr. Monardes.

In the 18th century, English settlers founded Fort Oswego at the mouth of the river flowing into Lake Ontario, and from the Indian tribes that inhabited the territory, they learned about the medicinal properties of the monarda, which grew in abundance in those places. From the leaves and flowers, the locals made medicinal and strengthening teas. Oswego Tea, as the monarda was called, peaked in popularity in 1773. After the Boston Tea Party, tea brewed from the leaves of the monarda and other native plants became a symbol of the liberation of the American colonies.

Monarda fissile

Of the more than 20 species of monarda, only two are cultivated with the most pleasant citrus aroma. One of the names - "bergamot mint", Monarda received for the similarity of the smell of flowers with the noble citrus - bergamot. Harvested and dried, monarda flowers retain all of their flavor and can replace missing bergamot when added to black tea.

It is better to collect flowers and leaves from young shoots during the flowering period. Monarda flowers can be added to summer crucons, to the greens of summer salads, along with calendula flowers and other plants.

A slightly different story - leaves. In them, the closeness of the monarda to oregano and thyme is more felt. Older leaves are rougher, more "heavy" components of the smell and a burning taste are more pronounced in them. Young ones, in combination with other spices, are suitable for sauces, cooking fish and meat dishes, boiling, soaking fruits and making canned food. Lots of options!

In addition to the obvious benefits, the monarda is also interesting for its appearance. Tall plants with bright colors are suitable for natural-type flower beds, miskborders, mass plantings look very nice.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>
