Therefore, when collecting and harvesting the tatarnik plant, it is necessary to use protective gloves to prevent contact of toxic substances with the skin of the hands. It is best to use gloves made of canvas or leather, as they have a denser structure and do not let the poisonous juices of the plant pass.

You should also be very careful when using the Tatarnik plant in cooking or when preparing tinctures and decoctions. Prescriptions and dosages must be followed exactly to avoid poisoning.

Tartar used in nutrition is harvested in early spring, before flowering. Cut young rosette leaves and shoots of the first year of life. For medicinal purposes, late leaves are harvested, after removing the spines. Dry first in the shade, finish drying in the oven, stove, dryers at a temperature of 45-50 ° C.

The roots of the first year of life are dug up in autumn, the second year - in early spring, after the appearance of the first rosette leaves. They are washed with cold water, laid out in a thin layer on a bedding, dried in a draft, dried in an oven, dryer at a temperature of 45-50 ° C.

Tartar prickly, Onopordon acanthium L. Description, habitats, nutritional value, use in cooking

Tartarnik is smelly

Tatarnik is a biennial herbaceous plant from the Compositae family with a branched prickly stem 60-150 cm high.

The leaves are large, felt-pubescent, prickly, serrated. Flower baskets globular, solitary, prickly, with lilac-purple (sometimes whitish) tubular flowers.

Blooms from June to August. Good honey plant.

It grows on wastelands, slopes, pastures, among bushes and along roads.

The leaves contain a small amount of alkaloids and the lactone arccyopicrin.

Tatarnik has long attracted the attention of a person with its dietary and medicinal properties. Young leaves, shoots and roots are used for food. After removing the thorns from the tartar, you can cook salads, cook soups, make fillings for pies and seasonings.

The plant has a bactericidal effect.

It is quite difficult to harvest and process the tartar because of the long and sharp spines. Food hygienists and nutritionists have high hopes for breeders who could develop a thornless tartar variety. In the meantime, we have to collect the leaves and shoots of the Tatar with the help of leather mittens and scissors.

The rosette leaves that grow in the first year of the plant's life are most suitable for food.

Tatarnik is sometimes confused with thistle. A distinctive feature of the Tatar is the presence of 2-3 wings stretching along the stem.

It is rather difficult to distinguish rosette leaves of thistle and tartar, so they try to find a plant with a stem nearby and judge the type of plant from it.

A person who has once seen both plants will not confuse them, since the leaves, stems and flower baskets of each have their own characteristics. For the first acquaintance, it is recommended to show the plant to specialists.

Before preparing dishes from the tartar, it is necessary to remove the thorns from its leaves and stems with scissors.

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, ... >>

Birch against cholesterol 13.07.2011

Chinese researchers from the Institute of Biology in Shanghai in an experiment on mice showed that betulin, a substance that gives a white color to birch bark, reduces cholesterol in the blood and liver.

Moreover, unlike currently used statins - synthetic drugs with a similar effect - betulin does not slow down the absorption of fats, but accelerates their burning.
