Edible Parts: Leaves, Shoots,
Edible Uses: Coloring, Curdling agent, Drink, Oil, Potherb, Soup,
Young leaves - cooked as a potherb and added to soups etc.. They can also be dried for winter use. Nettles are a very valuable addition to the diet, they are a very nutritious food that is easily digested and is high in minerals (especially iron) and vitamins (especially A and C). Only use young leaves (see the notes above on toxicity) and wear stout gloves when harvesting them to prevent being stung. Cooking the leaves, or thoroughly drying them, neutralizes the sting, rendering the leaf safe to eat. The young shoots, harvested in the spring when 15 - 20cm long complete with the underground stem are very nice. Old leaves can be laxative. The plants are harvested commercially for extraction of the chlorophyll, which is used as a green coloring agent (E140) in foods and medicines. A tea is made from the dried leaves, it is warming on a winters day. A bland flavor, it can be added as a tonic to China tea. The juice of the leaves, or a decoction of the herb, can be used as a rennet substitute in curdling plant milks. Nettle beer is brewed from the young shoots.
CAUTION: The leaves of the plants have stinging hairs, causing irritation to the skin. This action is neutralized by heat or by thorough drying, so the cooked leaves are perfectly safe and nutritious. However, only young leaves should be used because older leaves develop gritty particles called cystoliths which act as an irritant to the kidneys. Possible interference with allopathic drugs for diabetes mellitus, hypertension. Central nervous system depression drugs (e.g. morphine, alcohol) may also interact with nettle. Avoid during pregnancy.
MEDICINAL USES: Antiasthmatic, Antidandruff, Antirheumatic, Antiseborrheic, Astringent, Diuretic, Galactogogue, Hemostatic, Hypoglycemic, Stings, Tonic,
Nettles have a long history of use in the home as a herbal remedy and nutritious addition to the diet. A tea made from the leaves has traditionally been used as a cleansing tonic and blood purifier so the plant is often used in the treatment of hay fever, arthritis, anemia etc.. The whole plant is Antiasthmatic, antidandruff, astringent, depurative, diuretic, galactogogue, hemostatic, hypoglycemic and a stimulating tonic. An infusion of the plant is very valuable in stemming internal bleeding, it is also used to treat anemia, excessive menstruation, hemorrhoids, arthritis, rheumatism and skin complaints, especially eczema. Externally, the plant is used to treat skin complaints, arthritic pain, gout, sciatica, neuralgia, hemorrhoids, hair problems etc.. The fresh leaves of nettles have been rubbed or beaten onto the skin in the treatment of rheumatism etc.. This practice, called urtification, causes intense irritation to the skin as it is stung by the nettles. It is believed that this treatment works in two ways. Firstly, it acts as a counter-irritant, bringing more blood to the area to help remove the toxins that cause rheumatism. Secondly, the formic acid from the nettles is believed to have a beneficial effect upon the rheumatic joints. For medicinal purposes, the plant is best harvested in May or June as it is coming into flower and dried for later use. This species merits further study for possible uses against kidney and urinary system ailments. The juice of the nettle can be used as an antidote to stings from the leaves and an infusion of the fresh leaves is healing and soothing as a lotion for burns. The root has been shown to have a beneficial effect upon enlarged prostate glands. A homeopathic remedy is made from the leaves. It is used in the treatment of rheumatic gout, nettle rash and chickenpox, externally is applied to bruises. The German Commission E Monographs, a therapeutic guide to herbal medicine, approve Urtica dioica, Stinging Nettle for rheumatic ailments (internal use of leaf), irrigation therapy, for inflammatory disease of the lower urinary tract and prevention of kidney 'gravel' formation, urination difficulty from benign prostatic hyperplasia (root).
OTHER USES: Biomass, Compost, Dye, Green, Yellow, Fiber, Hair, Liquid feed, Oil, Repellent, Waterproofing
A strong flax-like fiber is obtained from the stems. Used for making string and cloth, it also makes a good quality paper. It is harvested as the plant begins to die down in early autumn and is retted before the fibers are extracted. The fiber is produced in less abundance than from flax (Linun usitatissimum) and is also more difficult to extract. The plant matter left over after the fibers have been extracted are a good source of biomass and have been used in the manufacture of sugar, starch, protein and ethyl alcohol. An oil obtained from the seeds is used as an illuminant. An essential ingredient of 'QR' herbal compost activator. This is a dried and powdered mixture of several herbs that can be added to a compost heap in order to speed up bacterial activity and thus shorten the time needed to make the compost. The leaves are also an excellent addition to the compost heap and they can be soaked for 7 - 21 days in water to make a very nutritious liquid feed for plants. This liquid feed is both insect repellent and a good foliage feed. The growing plant increases the essential oil content of other nearby plants, thus making them more resistant to insect pests. Although many different species of insects feed on nettles, flies are repelled by the plant so a bunch of freshly cut stems has been used as a repellent in food cupboards. The juice of the plant, or a decoction formed by boiling the herb in a strong solution of salt, will curdle milks and thus acts as a rennet substitute. This same juice, if rubbed into small seams of leaky wooden tubs, will coagulate and make the tub watertight again. A hair wash is made from the infused leaves and this is used as a tonic and antidandruff treatment. A beautiful and permanent green dye is obtained from a decoction of the leaves and stems. A yellow dye is obtained from the root when boiled with alum.

Nutritious - Our Daily Challenge
Dried blueberries are delicious and nutritious and take just a fraction of space compared to frozen ones. Also, no electric energy is needed to dry or store them.
Papaya seeds have antibacterial properties and are effective against E.coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus infections, may protect the kidneys from toxin-induced kidney failure, can eliminate intestinal parasites and help detoxify the liver. So do not throw them away, use them raw in salads or dry and store for a later use as an alternative to ground pepper...

Com raríssimas exceções, o Brasil dispõe de ótimas condições de produção de frutas. Tem terra e água, solo naturalmente fértil ou corrigível, clima adequado e boa oferta de mão de obra, embora nem sempre qualificada. A Região Nordeste, onde as temperaturas atingem níveis escaldantes, é propícia para a produção de melão - de grande valor de mercado no país e no exterior.
Dotado de vitaminas A e C, além de potássio, sódio e fósforo, o melão é altamente nutritivo e refrescante. Calmante, diurético, digestivo e laxante, ele é também recomendado para o controle de gota, reumatismo e problemas renais. Outra particularidade do melão são as sementes comestíveis, quando tostadas e salgadas.
Embora conhecido e comercializado como fruta, o melão é uma hortaliça. Assim como a melancia, pertence à família Cucurbitaceae, a mesma do chuchu, abóbora e pepino. De folhas grandes e flores amarelas, suas plantas são rasteiras e se desenvolvem bem em locais com insolação, dias longos, ar seco e sem ventos fortes. Em média, os meloeiros chegam a produzir entre 60 e 70 dias.
Em plantios com manejo adequado, a fruteira tem potencial para ultrapassar 30 toneladas produzidas por hectare.

Source of vitamins A and C, plus potassium, sodium and phosphorus
With very few exceptions, Brazil has excellent conditions for fruit production. It has land and water, soil naturally fertile or correctable, suitable climate and good supply of labor, though not always qualified. The Northeast, where temperatures reach scorching levels, is conducive to the production of melons - valuable market in the country and abroad.
Endowed with vitamins A and C, plus potassium, sodium and phosphorus, the melon is highly nutritious and refreshing. Soothing, diuretic, digestive and laxative, it is also recommended for the control of gout, rheumatism and kidney problems. Another feature of melon seeds are edible when roasted and salted.
While known and marketed as fruit, the melon is a vegetable. Like watermelon, belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, the same as chayote, pumpkin and cucumber. Large leaves and yellow flowers, your plants are creepers and thrive in places with sunshine, long days, dry air and strong winds without. On average, the melon can produce between 60 and 70 days.
In plantations with management the fruit has the potential to exceed 30 tons produced per hectare.
Many parts of the Typha plant are edible to humans. The starchy rhizomes are nutritious with a protein content comparable to that of maize or rice.[12] They can be processed into a flour with 266 kcal per 100 grams.[2] They are most often harvested from late autumn to early spring. They are fibrous, and the starch must be scraped or sucked from the tough fibers. Plants growing in polluted water can accumulate lead and pesticide residues in their rhizomes, and these should not be eaten.[13]
The outer portion of young plants can be peeled and the heart can be eaten raw or boiled and eaten like asparagus. This food has been popular among the Cossacks in Russia, and has been called "Cossack asparagus".[14] The leaf bases can be eaten raw or cooked, especially in late spring when they are young and tender. In early summer the sheath can be removed from the developing green flower spike, which can then be boiled and eaten like corn on the cob.[15] In mid-summer when the male flowers are mature, the pollen can be collected and used as a flour supplement or thickener.[16]
I've been experimenting with baking bread lately, working to come up with a nutritious, satisfying, tasty breakfast bread. I think I nailed it with this loaf. Since I don't generally measure anything except the yeast (3 tablespoons), I probably won't be able to replicate this again exactly. I am recording here more or less what I did.
Used about half each of whole wheat and white flours, oatmeal, raisins, maple syrup, cracked wheat, flax seed, wheat germ, dry yeast, salt, cinnamon, and butter. Used a bit of safflower oil to keep it from sticking when I was kneading and to coat the dough to retain moisture while rising (Employed in-the-bowl kneading w/large bowl to make for easier clean-up.) Sometimes I add non-fat dry milk powder; but didn't this time. I was more generous than I usually am with the maple syrup (0.5 - 0.75 cup) and with the salt (about a tablespoon). Cooked the oatmeal (1.5 - 2 cups dry?), raisins (half cup?), flax seed (jar lid full), and cracked wheat (jar lid full) together first and let them cool while the "sponge" was rising. I think I used about 5 cups or so of water altogether, including for cooking the oatmeal mixture. I greased the pans with butter and sprinkled cornmeal in them. This made two loaves and six muffin-sized rolls.
... of Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol), Thiamin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Iron, Magnesium and Phosphorus, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Riboflavin, Potassium, Copper and Manganese.

The fruits are tasty and nutritious but all parts of this tree can be useful.
The fruit is good to eat as is but also makes a sweet drink and can be used as a milk substitute.
The unripe fruit has been used to assist against diarrhea and dysentery. The tree bark is used for skin and mucosae medicines and the seed bark contains useful tannins and astringents. The leaves are believed to have healing properties and have been used against tumors and cancers. The fruit of the plant, serves as an expectorant, stimulant, coolant, haematinic, and is useful in treating anemia. Paste of flesh of this plant or crushed leaves of the plant can be used for local application on ulcers, abscesses and boils. The bark has been used on gums to relieve toothaches.
The leaves also provide ingredients used to make dyes, stains, inks, tattoos and mordants. The whole plant is a source of hydrogen cyanide.
Fatty-acid methyl ester of the seed oil can be used for biodiesel.

8:30 – 9:20 GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE AND VIEWPOINTS
VIEWPOINT: THE FOOD DILEMMA
Presented by DuPont
As China’s people become more affluent, demands for agriculturally intensive foods like meat and poultry have surged in recent decades. With only 7% of China’s land arable, this demand puts an enormous strain on a food system that needs to feed 1.3 billion people daily. Meanwhile, increasing urbanization is resulting in dietary changes that rely on convenience foods, raising nutrition and health concerns. Concurrently, frequent episodes of contamination have made food safety a leading concern in the country. How are these developments affecting the industry? Can new technologies help China and the world feed itself sustainably, affordably, and nutritiously? What will it take to overcome food safety issues?

The Dular strategy, which trains village women to counsel new mothers about breastfeeding and proper nutrition, is a successful approach that is already expected to prevent about one quarter of newborn deaths and save the lives of thousands of older babies and children. The Dular initiative is of particular importance to tribal children who are most vulnerable to disease, malnutrition and education disparities, as prejudice, isolation and misunderstanding make it difficult for these families to access services.

So there then is our Langar meal- simple, pure and nutritious. At the top you have kheer (rice pudding, the white stuff at the left), then dhal (spiced boiled lentils) and then roti (chapati- Indian unleavened bread). Portions are unlimited and people come around constantly asking if you want more. Just outside the plate is our bowl of water. I had seen Nat Geo TV programmes where a rice dish and an additional vegetable are served. Maybe that was for the Nat Geo shoot, but here, this was all on offer, though in unlimited quantities- you can have as much as you like, absolutely free. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)
