Looking at fruit macro pictures, I couldn't help noticing that magnified a lot of fruit looked like meat, the kind we feed to the cat.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kijkend naar macrofoto's van fruit, viel mij op dat veel uitvergroot fruit op vlees lijkt, zoals de vleesbrokjes die we aan de kat voeren.

Impressionen aus den steirischen SANDICCA-Sanddorngärten im Joglland.

Die von innen und von außen wirkenden biokativen Substanzen des Sanddorns erfreuen sich immer größerer Beliebtheit in der Nahrungsmittel- und Kosmetikherstellung. Viele der Sanddorn-Pflanzenbestandteile sind lebenswichtige Stoffe, die der menschliche Körper nicht selbst herstellen kann und somit auf die Zufuhr von außen angewiesen ist. Sanddorn kann aufgrund der Fülle seiner wertvollen Inhaltsstoffe und der vorteilhaften Eigenschaften zum regionalen Superfood gezählt werden.

 

Wir bei SANDICCA sind bekennende Anhänger der Powerfrucht Sanddorn, die für uns ein wahres Geschenk der Natur darstellt. Wir möchten auch Dich einladen, sich von der Kraft des Sanddorns auf www.sandicca.com zu überzeugen.

Tigernuts Prepared in Flavored Liquid

 

Well, here’s the shocker! Tiger Nuts are NOT nuts at all! They are tubers and they grow on the ground, much like a potato. They are nature’s way of delivering a natural, great tasting, nutritious, GLUTEN-FREE, ORGANIC, health-snack alternative that gives you that boost of energy you sometimes need. Tiger Nuts are packed with fiber, which acts as a dietary aid, full of vitamins, have zero trans fats, and are perfect for people who are allergic to nuts or are diabetic.

Are Tiger Nuts a SUPERFOOD Wonder Snack?

 

Well, pretty much, YES! We believe that there are no other health-snack products on the market that can offer you all the benefits of Tiger Nuts from one single source. They are the best tasting healthy snack food product that health-minded consumers, just like you, have been looking for to satisfy a snacking desire.

Pineapple [Ananas comosus - Bromeliaceae family]

One shot of this every morning

My parents press the fruits directly and store them in the freezer to maintain all the important ingredients.

 

HMM!

 

The fruit of the plant has a high vitamin C content. The most prevalent dietary minerals in sea buckthorn fruits are potassium, manganese and phytosterols.

The leaves are used as supposed herbal medicine for various disorders. H, rhamnoides fruits have also been used in the traditional Austrian medicine internally as tea, juice, or syrup for treatment of infections

Not pretty, but healthy. I eat a couple every day.

 

They are considered a superfood because they are high in several nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants, all of which may provide health benefits ranging from improved digestion to a reduced risk of disease.

 

For Macro Mondays theme "Wrinkled"

Been a while, but always up for playing with food...

Red garlic, cut in half, there are small cloves, big cloves, cut cloves and closed cloves, a wide selection with a lucky cut.

 

Actually we went to the local fresh marked, and bough different sorts of onions and similar products all are onion vegetables, and made some pictures.

 

And today, don’t waste food, onion tart.

Schon im frühen Jahr blüt die Kornelkirsche.

Daher hat sie, neben der Salweide, einen hohen Wert für Honig- und Wildbienen.

Für mich bleiben dann im Spätsommer die wunderbaren Früchte für alle möglichen leckeren Gerichte.

HMBT !!!

“Nothing to see here. It’s rubbish. You’d hate it!”

 

Quite how long it would be before the message got through I wasn’t sure. There was no signal to speak of and I hadn’t seen anyone since I passed the man tending a huge orange bonfire in the garden at his riverside cabin. That had been more than two hours ago, and since then a hike along the first couple of kilometres of the Peer Gynt trail, much of it over boggy ground, had brought me to the sign for Vesleulfossen. Two signs attached to the same post in fact. One of them said one kilometre, and the other one directly beneath it mysteriously added another hundred metres. For exactly the same place. Odd, but comforting. The image of this curious signpost had stayed in my head thanks to the one YouTube video I’d managed to find, posted by a long haired Australian youth who’d also come here alone. Without his offering to the online community, I might never have found the place where there was nothing to see.

 

Why was I alone? Where was Steve? Oh yes, poor Steve. On the previous day, the very first morning at Ulafossen he’d done something innocuous to his right knee that continued to trouble him through the rest of the day. The injury probably wasn’t helped by the long yomp across the saturated wilderness back to the car from Storulfossen as the sun set behind us and rainbows bounced across the mountains of the Rondane. He couldn’t remember exactly what he’d done or precisely when, but during the night the afflicted joint had swollen uncomfortably and he wasn’t going to be able to make the ten kilometre round trip to the big waterfall on foot - there was no other way to get to it. So he would stay at base and rest the injury before the afternoon outing, while your intrepid reporter went off into the vast wilderness alone. “Carry on without me!” he cried. “I’ll be ok here!” Now I know what you’re thinking - solidarity and all that. Stay with the wounded man and ease his struggle. But if Roald Amundsen or Neil Armstrong had adopted that attitude, where would their statues be? Ok, a statue might be pushing it. Maybe I’d just make a pile of stones on the slope beside the waterfall when I got there. I might never have the chance to come here again. It’s a very long journey from Cornwall you know.

 

Another thing I wasn’t going to admit to my wounded colleague was that once I’d crossed an open karst filled expanse and passed the last cabin on the trail, was that the bilberries growing close to the ground here were the best and most abundant that I found in Norway. I scooped handfuls of them at a time, gorging on nature’s superfood as I went. One pound ninety-nine a tray for the closely related blueberries in the supermarkets at home. Unlimited and free here for these few autumn days at least. We really couldn’t have timed our visit more perfectly. The colours in the trees and on the ground sang riotously as I arrived at another small series of duckboards that took me over the worst of the mud and into the slowly thickening birch forest. I was sure that I was getting close now, although it would be another ten or fifteen minutes before I began to hear the sound of running water.

 

Vesleulfossen is quite modest by Norwegian standards. But at one hundred and eighty metres from top to bottom it’s probably the tallest I’ve ever seen with my own eyes. Certainly the tallest in the Rondane. It’s not a single drop affair like Haifoss or a huge wall of water like Skogafoss, but it’s impressive nonetheless, and my initial sense that this might be a one shot location was of course completely unfounded. There was stuff in front of it. That little tree on the joint a third of the way down. The cluster of pines on the outcrop near the bottom. Things to telephoto into. Different shutter speeds to try. Things to include in the wider frame and the darkly rich textures in the vertical cliff down which the fall made such a dramatic descent. Definitely nothing to see here. I’d drink my coffee, dive into the snacks and stand here gazing into space.

 

At some point a raft of messages suddenly came through on my phone. It was Wednesday - five a side night at home and the gang were exchanging the usual banter about who was or wasn’t playing later. Obviously I wasn’t going to make it this week. I was here looking at nothing in particular. The message to Steve showed a double blue tick. At least he knew I was still alive and hadn’t fallen down a crevasse or run out of oxygen. More importantly the message that there wasn’t anything worth photographing here had given him succour in his hour of discomfort. Don’t tell him the truth will you. Otherwise he might not let me visit again.

The curious thing about Ulafossen is how easy it would be to miss if you didn’t know it was there. This despite the fact that it’s really quite enormous. A stealthy silver serpent that winds and weaves its earthbound course, hidden from sight in the forest to the north of the cabins. You don’t even hear it until you’re surprisingly close. To be honest I’m not entirely sure where it ends, but I suspect we might easily have descended the path and found just as much magnificence as we did in going the other way. For us it was merely our starter on the Norwegian itinerary; a sideshow we thought would kick things off nicely before we moved onto the A-listers later on. By the time we finished the morning’s shooting at the bridge, we knew we’d underestimated the serpent’s charms. Ulafossen firmly belongs to the elite around here.

 

In retrospect, I’ve started to think of Ulafossen more as a series of waterfalls rather than just one. In this place where the Storula river crashes down steep wooded slopes towards the distant valley, you’ll find a number of different sections to stop at. And as the early mists dissolved under a gentle Scandinavian sun on our first morning in Norway, it was enough to keep the shutters whirring while we gradually made our way up towards the bridge from a starting point by the main drop, at which we’d arrived more by luck than judgement. Ulafossen is like a landscape photographer’s buffet - in fact if you come here in the middle of September you’ll be able to add as many bilberries as you can eat to the menu as well. Nature’s superfood is a fine way to supplement your diet in between meals without your mum telling you off for ruining your appetite. “You’ll spoil your dinner if you eat those sweets!” is a well worn sentence I can hear from somewhere down the years. “No I won’t, I’m a growing lad!” These days it’s mostly growing sideways if I’m not careful. I suppose it’s a good job Ali watches my calorie intake far more avidly than anyone else ever has, like a peregrine falcon stalking rabbits. You should see her face if I even glance in the general direction of the chocolate bars on supermarket shelves. At least the bilberries met with her approval. At home, Thumper has to wait for the falcon to go out for the day before the naughty snacks come out of their hiding places. Carrot anyone?

 

By now we’d moved on from the first dramatic spot with the big view, hopping across a side stream and following the riverside path through a Silver Birch forest that brimmed with the golds, russets and bronzes of autumn, a short season that quickly yields to harsh subarctic winters here. A narrow track led down to a more intimate scene than the last, a wooden bench overlooking a small but forceful single fall, feeding an almost perfectly circular basin fringed by a chiselled rockface and huge waterside boulders, the river rushing away to the left of us and down to the next photographic gem. And in moments when the sun found a way through the clouds, a small rainbow hovered beside the waterfall, crowning an already compelling view with a quiet glow that disappeared and reappeared at regular intervals as we watched. It was a wondrous place to sit at the bench and absorb what was in front of us, but we knew it wouldn’t be long before we were dragging cameras from bags and planting them on tripods. You can’t resist a scene like this for long when there’s a six stop filter and a polariser in the bag. Norway knows how to do a waterfall, you know. And to think this one - or this series of them - is a virtual unknown in comparison to the huge white monsters that tumble into fjords from sheer sided mountains to the west of here. Two and a half hours here on a beautiful September morning and we didn’t see another soul at all.

 

And so we crept among the boulders, using them as platforms for our tripods, setting up our shots and losing ourselves in the moment. This small scene alone could fill the rest of the morning, but when there's a free buffet you don't hang around for too long before moving on to the next morsel. There was plenty more to sample from the menu before we reached the bridge and turned back along the track to our cabin for lunch. Appetite spoiled? What do you think!

Why do berries make you happy?

Accord to Stanford researchers, enjoying one cup of berries per day can make you feel 45 percent happier. The credit goes to their compounds (anthocyanins), which push the brain to release feel-good hormone serotonin.

How many times you been in a lineup? It's always you and four dummies.

Update

This warbler and the Yellow-throated Warbler have survived the deep freeze so far this month thanks to some dedicated birders and their superfood mixtures. Last night was -16C (-27C wc) and today will be -13C (-25 wc). All the birds here are having a difficult time.

So gesund ist die Feige

Feigen sind ein wahres Powerobst und dürfen sich mit Recht zu den Superfoods zählen, denn in ihnen stecken viele Nährstoffe.

 

Neben energielieferndem Fruchtzucker und sättigenden Ballaststoffen bringen sie reichlich Eisen, Kalium, Magnesium und Kalzium sowie viele Vitamine mit sich. Sie gelten als blutreinigend und durch die enthaltenen Ballaststoffe als verdauungsfördernd

***************************

This is how healthy figs are

Figs are a real power fruit and can rightly be counted among the superfoods because they contain many nutrients.

 

In addition to energy-providing fructose and filling fiber, they contain plenty of iron, potassium, magnesium and calcium as well as many vitamins. They are considered to purify the blood and, thanks to the fiber they contain, to aid digestion

This is my contribution to this weeks Macro Mondays theme of vegetables. Here we have some Asparagus Tips (Asparagus officinalis) which are quite delicious and classed as a super food HMM

Some people consider blueberries a superfood. In the Nordic countries, everyone can pick them freely from the forest. Larger amounts, however, require a bit of effort.

From Brussels with love.

Sie ist bekannt als die “Frucht zum Abnehmen” – ein sogenanntes Superfood, reich an Mineralstoffen und Vitamin C. Sie hilft bei der Entsäurerung, gegen Verstopfung, Blähungen und Magenverstimmung, stärkt das Immunsystem und hilft bei der Krebsvorsorge.

 

It is known as the “fruit for weight loss” - a so-called superfood, rich in minerals and vitamin C. It helps with de-acidification, against constipation, gas and stomach upset, strengthens the immune system and helps prevent cancer.

Just Garlic, ein Knoblauch Zopf, if people keep distance from you, there must be reason for this, maybe you enjoyed more than one clove of garlic

This tiny berry packs quite a nutritious punch, and includes high levels of vitamin C, sorbic acid, and dietary fibre, but they are mostly praised for their unique antioxidant composition.

The fruit, depending on the cultivar, can actually be toxic in some cases, but most of that toxicity fades if heated or frozen for extended periods of time. Commonly, the berries are used in alcoholic beverages or liqueurs, but can also be used as a bitter side flavouring of certain game dishes. They are also commonly pressed into jams and jellies.

When rowan berries are picked in the wild, they contain high levels of parasorbic acid, which can actually cause a range of illnesses. However, once frozen or heated, this acid changes to the beneficial sorbic acid, which our body finds very useful. Therefore, don’t go out picking wild rowan berries, make sure you properly prepare them first to get the most benefits!
