What we do need to to is to begin to cultuvate soils, deepening structure, complexity, microbial brilliance, and available organic matter, including returned or freshly deposited compost or pre-compost goodies, to continually add to both the nutrient-richness and availability, AND the fibrous structure of the soils. It can get better and better every years potentially. Many plants could even be thought of as excellent providers for this generation of complex, fibrous, organic matter, that through microbial amd mechanical breakdown, gives way to imcreased volume of a substrate better than any soil there was before.

When it comes to GMO plants getting genes from other plants are very rarely a problem. Where problems show up is when animal genes are given to plants or vice versa and the results can be proteins not found in nature but even some of them have medical potential.

Never liked tequila, tried mezcal in NY and is waaaaay better. Also manager told us tequila is mixed with chemicals and other sugars and mezcal is 100% natural 🧐

@ChadWilson 8 ай бұрын

There is so much inaccuracy in this statement, I will be slow to unpack it. All tequila is mezcal, but tequila is specifically blue agave, while mezcal can be other types of agave, and doesn't have to be 100% agave. Now, the additive thing. Some 'de agave' brands add a few specific allowable additives, things like sweeteners, but they cannot exceed 1% by volume. Then, the tequila has three types: Blanco, reposado, and anejo, though there is sometimes extra anejo. Blanco has not aged in a barrel at all, so think vodka straight from the pot. The others represent times of aging in barrels, taking on the color and flavor of the wood. Both mezcal and tequila are protected names.

In my country we have 4 main banana varieties that sell like hot water. So it amazing that their countries that have only one variety MATOOKE- steamed in banana leave n a meal staple. There are many homes that have to have it as part of their meal every. It's called the food. Rice or irish are called accompaniments. BOGOYA - Its not cavendish but its the closest i could relate it to. Very tasty. N a fruit when hungry n need a quick bust NDIZI - these are small almost half the size of the cavendish. We call them sweet bananas. Their sweetness is .... i don't how to discribe it. But people sometimes say. The sweetness on bogoya is for am adult. The one of Ndizi is for children 😅😅. GONJA - this is what is known as plantain. How we tell the organic from GMO. GMOs are tasteless if you know the taste of the original.

@victory8928 Ай бұрын

We have 3 varieties here. Plantations, a more redish-brown banana species that is larger than cavendish but also far tastier and better for baking with and cavendish. Its interesting to see all these fruits and also very important to understand that our current system of monoculture is quite back. Sure meaningful improvements are expensive and costly but it has so many benefits alas when people are comfy they rather not get off their seats. The entire banana industry of the Americas has a dark past to it due to this.
